The best way I think is for all members to check in the forum for best prices and let others know when they come across the best price they have seen. I imagine the easiest way to seperate locations would be however the big shopping stores do it when they place sales in the flyers, example, Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, and Northwest, Southwest. I may have left an area out, but that's the idea of it. That would be the easier and more organized way of price checking. Another way would be to list products in subforums under the forum heading Price Check and you could look for the price you want to pay there. I'd love to use the price check forum rather than searching the board through each stores forum to find the best prices. This way they are all in one place. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? And who would want to moderate it?

Once that is in place, cross reference with the coupons already in the Coupon DB. This would allow the users to search for a specific item on sale throughout all stores. Since that would be a lot of stores, I would also suggest that the user can select which stores they want a search for a specific item, ex: Swiffer dusters. If the store has an EDLP that is stored, those results could come up as well. Lastly, once all the info from the weekly ad is entered into the DB a new thread would be started and all that information would then be dumped on to that thread with the matching coupons, much like people do today. Hope that all makes sense! Keep up the great work! I love this site!! :yourock:

These two ideas might be able to work together if we can get the sales stuff intergrated with the coupon database. I have an idea in my head on how that would work. Just might take some time to get that going.
