I still don’t get people raving about a $1.50 hotdog at a grocery store chain that requires a subscription to get in. Their business model is making you think you’re saving money, not actually saving you money.
I mean, if you never go, sure. But it’s $65 a year. You can easily save that much in a couple of trips compared to if you bought it somewhere else.

my membership is $120 and I get back, on average, $120 in the refund cheque every year

I told the lady asking me about my membership that I lost last year’s refund cheque, so they went out of their way to mail me all of those cheques. I didn’t ask for it - they just enough it up and then said “hey we see you didn’t spend the three years before that either, do you want those too?”

are some things more expensive? of course, just like anywhere. but the things I buy and some of the ‘exclusive’ products make it work it for me

fuck it’s worth it for dog food alone tbh, and my dogs are only 65lb combined. but my other favourites from there are bread, some of the meat & fish, frozen goods, and household disposables. far better pricing than Loblaws. and ofc I still aim for buying Canadian
