My radical hack idea was to start an online newspaper and to contract with the local super markets to run a copy of their weekly insert. Fill the paper with local news and collect price data over time which could be marketed as a product to people who were interested in the data.

The most appealing part of this hack is that the advertisers weren't the customer, they were the product. :-)
