This is where a 'bot' (computer program) would be useful. Scrape the sales from the stores you specify, and summarize them in a table, highlighting best price & whether a membership number or coupon code is required.
I guess I'm retired now. Maybe this is my retirement project.

I've thought of that, and decided it would be too much work for lousy results. The flyers available online are rarely organized well (especially HT), and their content is not 'scrapable' really. Also, what catches my eye is not the stuff they're touting most. Oftentimes, a 'sale price' is trumpeted that, once one does the math, isn't a terribly good value.

So I scan these things with a gimlet eye, looking for the items that our grill-loving readers would be most interested in.
