Motivation

Ever since I discovered Subways never ending $6 footlong promocodes (always something like FL599, 599FTL, FOOTLONG599), I wondered if tracking grocery sales would be beneficial. As Kroger has a free API for prices, I setup these pages to download the weekly prices and create a personalizes sales tracker. While I don't expect to save enough money to make up for the time on this project, I might find similar applications in the future.

Pages

Prices

This page lists scores (current_price/mean(all_prices)) for all items in my watchlist.

Add Products

This page adds next products to the watchlist.

Goals

  • Run scheduled scripts to download prices from Kroger APIs.
  • Make a quick interface to see what the best deals are

Implemented

  • Download daily prices for watchlist.
  • Add page to update watchlist

Future work

  • Add shopping list feature
  • Schedule/write script to send custom weekly deals
