In the L.A. area, I shop at more than one Ralphs, and more than one Vons, with discount cards at both. I alternate between them out of convenience and proximity. What a scheme like this assumes is that one constantly uses the same store, or at least the same chain. Those who vary where they shop make this useless.

And if any such chain starts individual monitoring, their discount will be torched SO fast ...

It doesn't surprise me that this has been linked, in "Great" Britain, to following the dictates of the socialist health system. In Birmingham, England, they're registering knife purchases now.

They know about people like you and have taken action. Every other month, Winn Dixie awars points for every dollar spent (the regular sales are on too). Spend $200 and get 10% off on a one time shopping trip. $300=15%, $400=20%.

I used to buy meals everyday or every other day. Now my freezer has enough for two weeks in it.

How could I pass up pot roast for 99 cents a pound and 2 half gallons of Breyers Ice Cream for $4?
