Or not exactly valid, either LOL Seriously, used to be if you didn't have
one of those "cards" you couldn't get the extra 15 cents off of whatever.
Kroger was (is?) famous for it. (I don't know if they still do that...
haven't seen a Kroger since I left TN.) I do recall when I was picking up a
'party platter' of deli meats and cheeses once. I didn't have one of those
cards. The cashier had one and scanned it so I could get a discount. So
much for valid information, eh?
