Is it worth having Categories?
To test whether a category is profitable you might consider what the alternative scenario would be without the group.
Example:
Assume that an individual selection is $5. And say Magen Women group was selected 2 times in the past, at $270 for a total of $540. If there was no group discount, those two members who made the whole group selection would need to select 54 individuals each (on average) for a total of 108 selections to arrive at the same $540 (since 108 X 5 = $540). If you think that at least 54 members would have been selected individually, then you might decide to drop the group.
The only exception may be the New Members group where you especially want to encourage many selections even at the cost of losing a few dollars
