Well... I already have CSV-files of all the product-listing pages. But
what I want is _one_ file just holding the prices, basically - no other
info. The reason for this is that the prices change frequently (sales,
campaigns etc.) - therefore it would be much easier to just store each
price as a variable, and then get that variable on the pages that need
the price displayed.
So, I think maybe my original suggestion is better, if it works - will
it work?
