No need to go much out of our way, but whenever one of us happens to visit, we could jot down what they have and post it somehow. That way we could often plan ahead a bit instead of having to pick our bricks on the spot.

Does this seem worthwhile to anybody else? How often do they change the selection, anyway?

It is worthwhile to me and I’ve thought about it before. I sorta live far away from the stores, but I’d be happy to help out when I’m there.
