It is always easy to say that the merchant has done you a wrong by discontinuing a program. However, when you look at weather a merchant is going to stay in business or not, then you would understand the reasoning behind eliminating a discount. Today's grocery competitiveness between Kroger, HEB, Fiesta, Walmart, Sam's Club, Randalls makes it difficult to turn a profit. You would think that everything in a store is 100% markup.

I still remember back when Kroger and HEB had an agreement not to go into each others market. Now they are warriors battling for your dollar.

I would much rather see a merchant do away with a discount than go out of business. Personally, I hate Kroger, their Nolan Ryan meat is terrible. I have now purchased two different packages. Steaks about 4 years ago that I BBQ'd and a round roast we purchased yesterday. They were as tough as shoe leather, just awful. I prefer the Randalls Angus Beef and there are no Randalls near my new house. It's a trip back to Pete's Meat Market on Richmond near the Galleria next time we need a good steak.
