In the US, most grocery stores have made it so that you don't get their sale prices unless you have their membership card. So you're going to pay several dollars more for declining that membership card.

We were at a grocery store halfway across the country last summer during a road trip, and the woman asked if we had a card for that store, and of course we didn't, because it's not a chain near us. She held up a bag with 16 different grocery store chains on it and asked if we had any of those, and one of them was a chain my in-laws have in their area, so she tried their phone number and it worked.
