Hell, If I go to a supermarket with my "membership card" I typically save $15 on a $50 purchase. As the clerk hands me my change he announces how much I "saved" for spending money in the store. All the supermarkets have membership cards and without the cards, lower prices would be factored into your daily purchase as all stores must be competitive with each other. Stores are all going to price their stuff depending on how they are going to make the most money and what competing forces are. It is up to the consumer to figure it out and always has been.
