Not ove bit.  It’s a membership you forced yourself to buy along with all these “low fat” “sugar free” items. They were outrageously overpriced. We literally follow through with this charade for, I don’t know…  .5 seconds.   1…2…3…4…5…ok where’s my glass of wine now?  You see where I’m going with this?
