Looking to do some price comparisons for my retail establishment.

Having trouble finding prices on items that are “sold in store only”

For example; pretty much anything perishable or refrigerated, especially foods.

Looking to compare against just a couple of the main retail outlets Wal-Mart, Target, Supervalu, etc.

Is there a website that offers this sort of stream lined price comparison?

[Google Shopping](http://www.google.com/prdhp) does, but not sure about food items. You can select “Available nearby” to limit it to brick and mortar stores.

We have some over here, but you can’t really beat going round and checking them out in person.
