Kroger Plus cards
Anyone else notice that the discount with these cards has almost vanished?
I know the main reason for the cards is for them to track your shopping habits but I remember you used to be able to get a 12 pack of Mt. Dew for about $2.00 but now you can't get them for less than $3.99.
The discounts on other items is only about 10 cents or so.
I know gas costs have gone up but come on.
I prefer to shop at Meijer pretty much anymore.

I noticed it a while back but haven't complain to much because I figured that's life. I remember a couple months ago I was able to get a chili cheese burrito for $.99 now it a $1.19......Inflation is a bitch.

I still got a big bear card (they all shut down, at least in columbus). My card still works at all of the other places that use them like kroger. Some times the cashiers get tick'd off when they want me to sign up for a kroger card and i just tell them to swipe that one...

My thinking on these cards is I'm paying the price I SHOULD be paying.
"Today you saved ..." Bull[censored]. Should say, "Today, we didn't over charge you XXX"

Big Bear actually saved you money with the card. Ever since Kroger went to this "Plus Card" bull [censored] they're prices have went up. Giant Eagle is cheap at times and they are def. better than kroger. Atleast at G/E you spend $50 you get $ .10 off a gallon of gas. I love the commercials for Kroger and they're gas, "Spend $500 this week and you get $.2 off your next gallon of gas!" and "If you spend $750 this week you get $.5 off your next gallon!"
So we only really shop at Giant Eagle since they seem to be the cheapest, although it was a sad day when Big Bear went out.
