Subscription deals are all we do anymore???

I've never been a fan of pay to play subscription stores like Amazon, now Walmart, Costco, Sam's, etc. A community forum is made up of many different eyes and ears... and even shopping styles. Just seems like all I'm seeing in the hot deals forum are subscription store deals. For the content value it makes sense... no one wants to look at the same obsolete deal all day long... but it's those few and far between deals that we are seeing less and less of. I even feel hesitant to share deals that I feel like I can milk for a while before someone posts it and ruins it for that. Sorry, I found it first. Too much money has become the problem with the users. No real reason to be thrifty to the max like it was once. Overall, the demographic has changed for these forums. The format update is even bigger. We're too old to have our grocery store rearranged... we can barely remember where our keys are, or to take our meds on time. Anywho... we should be mindful of others that do not understand how hard it was to live once. Cheers.

I do Amazon subscriptions, but once delivered, I cancel them. They change price, so there's no benefit there for me. Sometimes signing up again will get you a lower price.
