isn't it pretty much what amazon's been doing since the beginning? the difference being there's no "app" like camel yet to track prices over time at a single store

but yea, still another reason not to go to walmart. how do they mitigate the problem of something being $X when you put it in your cart, and the price being X+whatever by the time you get through the 2 mile long line at one of the 2 open registers?
