Furthermore, some folks in the marketing department came up with the Extracare Card, similar to the SuperFresh or ShopRite card. And they came up with a great way to get people to sign up for it--taking away sale prices unless you have the card.

I stopped shopping at Giant precisely because they instituted the Giant Supercard. Now I use Genaurdis, which unfortunately is likely to introduce such a card because Safeway has one. Giant was much cheaper, but when they brought in the card they jacked up all the prices to Genaurdis levels and let the card get you a discount partway back to the older prices.
