    Wow that's impressive!

    Hope you guys find this useful…. I built a tool to do this automatically.

    If enough people are interested I will try building one for Coles, Aldi, IGA, etc. too :)

    Any feedback is welcome too!

    • I built a tool to do this automatically.

      What did you use to do the scraping ?

      • +22

        It's called Scrapy… It's a framework in a programming language called Python.

        One issue I've noticed is that a few of the deals are already unavailable… I think v2 will need to automatically remove those.

        • thanks…

    • Excellent work maybe add columns for "# times discount and average discount %". This way users can consider it a true one-off bargain or a regularly discounted item :-)

      Are you planning on making the scrapings publically accessible or just the excel sheet? I'd love to grab them for my own use (i have a coles, aldi and woolies all nearby and do my entire shop based on whats on discount based on unit price)

      I did the same thing, using the same Python package! I meant to save some money on groceries, but ended up spending more on half-price specials…

      My link for Woolworths.

      • Nice website, might have a bug though :) http://os.worldwall.info/officeworks/product/20741 (drone for $1)

        • Officeworks has a tougher anti-scraping policy. Seems the script has been not working since last November. They might block my IP again.

        • @Harrison: What broke the script though, did they change where the price was or did they block your IP?

        • @fredblogs: Don't know yet. I will check my log tomorrow. I guess they probably changed their API. If I remember correctly, no matter how slowly I send requests, ow's server always randomly returns unsuccessful responses, which makes my script miss some products.

    • Can you make a spreadsheet just for vitamins please ? Stores like woolies, coles, priceLine and discount chemist - the prices of vitamins and the change percent ?

      oh man half price DRUMSTICKS? I never heard such a thing.

      Why don't you give it a +1 then?

    Awesome

    Champion!
    The ability to choose which column to sort by, is very useful.

  • I like all their stock in one list.

  • Isnt this a dupe from the other woolies weeklies?

    • +2

      In the same way that you posted The Uncharted Collection after it was already posted?

  • That's fantastic tool. Like the way you have presented it. Keep it up.

    love a good excel spreadsheet :) good work

  • Does this list include deals that have been 1/2 price for 2 weeks in a row? I could not find the Philips LED globes in the list that were reduced to 1/2 price last week and are still 1/2 price this week.

      Hey, sorry for the late reply… It doesn't, no. I will work on that for v2.

  • What is the best way to get the most discount out of Woolworths online shopping?
