Thanks! So it's basically a "loyalty card" and I select things from the
sales flyer email to get the savings. It remains to be seen if it will
be worthwhile.

Most of the time I have found online store "coupons" (in whatever form)
mostly tend to be for things I don't want or buy. Things like Hamburger
Helper comes to mind.

I won't know until they actually build the store and it is open so I can
walk through it and gauge the quality of what they have to offer.

The affinity program at my grocery store is surprisingly useful. I often
get coupons for things their database knows I actually buy. Once in a
while I get something like $6 or $10 off my order.

the coupons in the Sunday newspaper. It was rare there was much that
was useful.
