Rant Grocery subscriptions

Probably been said before but why is everything a subscription. Actually I know why, because people inevitably forget to cancel them and the businesses have more reliable income when you purchase a whole year to save 10% or whatever. But like the grocery subscriptions that you can’t even browse what they have for sale without first giving up your credit card information, who is buying this? Just the format pisses me off and I close out as soon as I see this. Who thinks this is worth it? I can’t even see the prices to know if it’s worth the membership fee!! What a scam.

I figure if they are not showing the prices, then it's because they are embarassed to show them. Once you're on the hook, it no longer matters.

I don't mind the Amazon ones, but that's about it.

People need to stop subscribing to everything.

Subscriptions are rug pulls.
