Maybe it could even work so that if they see that I'm looking for it for 10€ and it's 12€ at the store, they could give me a personal discount and sell it for 10€.

The thing I worry most about content discovery is that it might become too intrusive. I fear that if I check any checkbox everyone will try to push their stuff for me. I only want to get content that I'm really interested in.
I would guess that some retailers and/or brands would love the idea of users providing shopping wish-lists (essentially preference profiles), because this could enable very targeted product offerings. At best it might become a win-win situation (like the discount scenario you describe). But I agree that in the worst case the potential for intrusion & creepiness could be high.
