So many people in this thread saying "you can already do this if you just do all these extra steps" like avoiding extra work isn't the whole point.

Exactly. But also I'm blown away that most grocery stores don't list inventory and prices on the website. I can only think this is because they don't want to show prices in an attempt to get you to go to the store.

They absolutely don't want to make automatic comparison shopping that easy. The goal of every grocery store is to get you there with one or two specific good deals they advertise and then have you do the rest of your shopping there because nobody wants to go to a second store and MAYBE get a slightly better deal but also maybe get a worse deal.

I mean... Yeah? Grocery stores want you in the store. If they didn't they'd be shipping only warehouses.

I just mean that they must have done some research that says it is more profitable to only list a few prices instead of everything.
