    I love Milo — in fact I'm going to have some right now.

        I like Milo the "Malaysian" way — with hot milk and condensed milk!

      They also drink it cold out of those little plastic freezer bags full of ice with a straw sticking out the side.

      Though, from memory in Malaysia they pronounce it Mil-o, as apposed to the local (oz) Mi-Lo. However, I stand to be corrected.

  Thanks again holofernes, I'll grab some of those $1 Schweppes bottles.

  The toilet paper is a good price. Normally I find it hard to get them for less than 40 cents a roll. Though I do wish the double length rolls were on sale.

  Here's a quickie script I whipped up to scrape the OzB posting and output the bargains tables as CSV so that you can slice and dice it anyway you want in a spreadsheet. It takes the URL of the posting as the only argument. I used this to sort by product name so that I can find things more easily. Have fun.

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  # Author: greenpossum
  # Year: 2010
  # License: public domain
  
  use strict;
  use LWP::Simple;
  use HTML::Tree;
  use Text::CSV_XS;
  
  my $url = shift(@ARGV) || die "Usage: $0 ozbargain-supermarket-special-url\n";
  my $tree = HTML::Tree->new_from_content(get($url));
  my ($table) = $tree->look_down( '_tag' , 'table' );
  my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new();
  my @cols = ();
  my $thead = $table->find_by_tag_name('thead') || die "No thead\n";
  my $tr = $thead->find_by_tag_name('tr') || die "No tr for thead\n";
  map { push(@cols, $_->as_text) } $tr->find_by_tag_name('th');
  $csv->combine(@cols) && print $csv->string(), "\n";
  my $tbody = $table->find_by_tag_name('tbody') || die "No tbody\n";
  foreach $tr ($tbody->find_by_tag_name('tr')) {
      @cols = ();
      map { push(@cols, $_->as_text) } $tr->find_by_tag_name('td');
      $csv->combine(@cols) && print $csv->string(), "\n";
  }
  

  PS: holofernes, not being ungrateful, but if you could output in future the price column as $8.00 for 2 instead of 2 for $8.00, it would be possible to sort by that column too, although still not perfect due to string ordering rather than price ordering.

    Say I copied and pasted it into excel, what's the difference?

    I think he just gets it via a script, maybe that's the way coles just typed out their pricing.

    • 

      holofernes on 19/11/2010 - 11:50

      Niknah's correct; and possibly wins by several keystrokes =) though I like your neat map call. The data comes as you see it straight off Lasoo. I'm happy to take suggestions for the format if other people agree though, and I'll see what I can do with awk.

      Unfortunately OzB is missing the nice sortable table feature that Wikipedia has, which I think would be a better solution.

    • 

      retiredfeline on 19/11/2010 - 12:00

      The answer to your first question lies in the second. You could customise the script to rewrite the contents of the cell to do the transformation I suggested with a regexp.

  Hey has anyone ever used the "Raid Night & Day Mosquito Protection Unit 2.1g"?

  Curious in how effective it is :P

    BigglezThePigglez on 18/11/2010 - 21:19

    Nope I havent

  How many twigg sticks do you get IN APPROXIMATE in a 1 kilo.

  • 

    bennib0i on 18/11/2010 - 21:50

    ALOT!

    Just buy them in 500g packs, thats what they get shipping in in the deli.

    500g has about 30 pieces (don't quote me)

  • 

    bennib0i on 18/11/2010 - 21:50

    P.S they are air tight in the 500g packs so they last longer if you don't open them.

      SmokeandMirrors on 19/11/2010 - 01:57

      Twiggy sticks are something I havent tried yet. Will give it a go. The good thing about the coles deli stuff is that you can ask for a taste without wasting your money

      • 

        Craze on 22/11/2010 - 12:58

        Really? I never knew that actually! But I've tried twiggy sticks before and they're pretty addictive.

        infernal_max on 24/11/2010 - 03:23

        what deli's do you shop at, that charge you for a sample? or "waste your money"
