It would be a nightmare to police for compartative shopping. I don't care
what is on sale today, I do have interest on what will be on sale when I
shop next. Some stores start the sale on Sunday, others on Friday, others at
other times. Aside from scanning the circulars in the paper, the major
store habe their sales on thier web sites.
Stores could also have every time they have listed on the web site too. That
would be like giving your price list tot he competition. Make them work for
it if they want them.
