Coles Supermarket Specials (4/11 through 10/11)

940

Hi guys,

I noticed the latest week's Coles specials haven't been posted in that fantastic fashion that they normally are, and I whipped up a script to get some data off the catalogue website in an automated way. It's not as pretty as Fergus', but it does include all data off the catalogues.coles.com.au website. Click through to view:

Warning — this data was gathered using my local catalogue (Sydney)
Range discounts — these were only indicated in the data with a "/" after the price, and not explicitly.

    that's better… :)

    Next time, can you also include the ingredients, thanks…

    • +4

      … and shelf location for each store.

  • +3

    Nice work.

  • +5

    this is much better!!!

    Tim tams are 3 for $5.
    What better way to lose weight by converting all your muscles to fat.

    • +1

      i think he means 3 packets, not 3 biscuits…

      (muscles don't convert to fat by the way… that is biochemically impossible to occur naturally)

      • +14

        no tim tams for you

  • Much appreciated Thanks

  • what sort of tech are you using to scrape it? Are you scraping the pdf?

    • +10

      It's a shell script with cURL to do the heavy lifting and awk to do the parsing and calculation. Sed and sort as bit players. It's the data from the list view of the catalogue.

      • +2

        yay geek power ftw!

      • I was wondering when someone would take a technological solution to these catalogs. ;)

        Could you offer links to a sortable (automatic JS scripts are available) or various sorted lists of the catalogs in future?
        I'm happy to help out too.

        ie. I noticed this weeks catalog basically started at $1 and went to ~$7. It'd be nice to be able to read the list in that order.

        • +1

          I was Googling for something the other day and stumbled upon a Grocery price tracker, similar sort of idea
          For example check out the historical data for Mccain Lasagne
          http://grocery.bestpricedirectory.com.au/mccain-lasagne_id28…

        • @neil, that's cool. Pity it's missing every product I searched for. (Dove face wash, Lynx, Weetbix [larger qtys]).

  • Well done!

  • Great job! Thanks!

  • +1 for the script, mind sharing ?

    • Sure, drop me a msg

  • Brilliant first post!

  • +8

    I am slightly troubled by:
    Top Gear The Stig Soap On A Rope 150g for $5.00

    • +1

      I saw these instore. There is also an almost foot high standing Stig bubble bath. :D

      They had a deal which was like buy two, get one free on all the Top Gear gifty stuff.

    • +2

      i just wanna rub the stig between my butt cheeks when i shower XD

      • +3

        Well, now you can. :)

  • Awesome! Thanks. :)

  • If the script is using your local coles' data, why not set up a webpage where a user can put in their own post code and get back a similar list of the discounts, specific to their local coles?

    • Possible, but the work required is probably beyond what time I can steal while waiting for other things to happen at work, not to mention I don't feel like paying for the infrastructure.

  • Good job!! :)

  • +2

    You probably can track the prices of the items and their discounts over the year :P

  • thanks OP. CHAMPION!

  • How did I manage to get through life without ever hearing of Stink Blasters?!? LOL.
