shopping at the grocery store is goofy. if you pay attention, you can "save" a great deal of money (today, that meant $11 off what would have been a $46 grocery tab, including two boxes of honey-nut cheerios for a buck a piece). of course, even when you save money, they're still making a killing. the retail price of cereal boggles the mind. my local grocery store installed a (very sharp) lcd video screen in each checkout line so you can watch commercials while you wait in line.
waredevil is one of the more inspired new businesses i've seen in a while. web designers on retainer, basically.
