Wishing Big for:

Ability to use HCW Database to make "Havelists" and "Wishlists"

First thoughts:
We would need to add quantity field (number of coupons),
add to wish list check box
a pending trade check box
possibly a category field (H&B/frozen/etc.)
and ability to sort list (by Alpha - Inserts - Exp Date - Category)

We need a forum called Price Check. That could be subdivided into sub-forums based on locations. Basically people could add the best price in their locale. Ex: Beckysmommy wants to know the best price in Chicago area for Hellmanns mayo and members can reply to her. 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?

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!!

There is a website that does grocery flyer comparisons www.mygrocerydeals.com It doesn't have everything you would like, but you can actually type in a product like Juice or a specific brand like Nestle and it will give you a list of who has it on sale in their flyer for that week based on a zip code.

This is on our to-do list. I have been wanting to do it forever. Need to get mark working on that here soon I hope.

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.

I just posted this on the Feedback sticky, but then I thought that it might be better to post it here.

Can we get an "RAOK recipient" (or something like that) as a fourth option on the feedback form? I always send feedback when I receive an RAOK, but I choose "trade". This doesn't seem quite right, but I don't know what else to do.

Thanks!

At home I have a list that easily converts the printed sales prices like 3 for $5 into dollar amounts like $1.66. I would like to have that information here at HCW because I think it would help others to read their weekly ads and see the real prices of sale items. Where should we put this information?
