Combine club cards for grocery shopping ease

club cardsToo many grocery store club cards? Take your Safeways, your Food Lions, your Super Freshes, type in all the bar codes into this handy web interface, and print out one club card for all your stores. There are lots of stores missing - no Harris Teeter, no Fred Meyer - so it's not entirely a one-size-fits-all approach, yet, but it will work for those shopping most of the major chains in a variety of cities. And the creator of the Just One Club Card will add new stores upon request.

I've also noticed that some stores with really good scanners just automatically pick out the relevant bar code.

I've been meaning to put an FAQ on the site to answer questions like this.

If Pavilions didn't know that I purchase chocolate cake by the slice, premium ice cream only when it's on sale and the random frozen dinner, how else would they offer me coupons on competitors, whom they charge for the service? Isn't there some movement afoot to stop selling prime shelf-space real estate and move to some other model of determining who sells what where?
