Just the first thing that springs to mind.
in your product class do
named_scope :green, ...
named_scope :recycled, ...
def self.scope_for_subdomain(subdomain)
send case subdomain
when 'green' then :green
when 'recycled' then :recycled
else
:all
end
end
and then your index action is
Product.scope_for_subdomain(request.subdomains.first).find :all
You could also just use anonymous scopes
Depending on what's in your app it might be better to pull the
selecting of the scope out into a before filter.

Again a random thought: products have a base price, and you have a
price_overrides table (products has_many price_overrides etc...)
Assuming you have Store objects describing the stores and a filter
that sets the current store you could have a method in your product
class similar to
def overriden_price(store)
override = price_overrides.find_by_store_id store
override ? override.price : self.price
end
and when you want to display the price to a user you just do
product.overriden_price(@current_store)
