    A website like PC part picker where I can type in a product search and it gives me results from many different websites like Amazon and newegg but also local stores within a certain range from me such as Walmart, target, etc so that I can compare prices and options before I leave the house. I already have an auto hotkey script that opens up separate tabs for each website that I want to check, but a website would be nice. It also helps me consider places that I wouldn’t have thought carried the item I was looking for. Filtering by category would be useful, such as auto parts so that one could quickly compare prices and options instead of going to each retailers website one at a time.

      I’ve actually started working on something like this for grocery shopping recently for personal use. Right now it primarily takes your location, a list of items, shows the unit price comparisons, and then compiles them into a shopping stop list. Once I get it better fleshed out and working semi-properly, I might ake the repo public and invite additional features like the ones you mentioned through the community

        It doesn’t show a lot of stores in my area or many other online market places such as Newegg Menards, Target, Meijer, Tractor supply, or Farm and Fleet. I also don’t trust Google search results as it’s likely a pay to win scenario.
