How are they getting the prices for these? Is this run by Trader Joe’s? I hope someone isn’t manually updating these. Also won’t prices differ by location? So many questions.
Discussion of regional price differences in other comments.
Interesting! I’ve always held on to my grocery receipts for the last 8 years. I took pictures of them but when I moved a box got water damaged so now I only have like the last 3ish years. Is there any open source software that I can use to transfer these receipts into a useful csv? I have an idea for a few interesting data visualizations as I’d often buy the same things every week. Grocery bill went from like $70 to…
https://docs.paperless-ngx.com Nextcloud also has OCR. You can use a scanner with either. Avoid touching the receipts. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5453537/
This implies the prices are the same across all TJs stores - is that the case?
Good catch. These prices are hard coded to my local store in Chicago. Soon I will add support for selecting your local store.

And thanks for the heads up about the toxicity, I use to save them all but after the move I simply take a picture with my phone and throw them out.
paperless doesn't seem to be my exact use case but hopefully after it does the OCR transformation it can allow you to make a csv file.
It would be neat to be able to click on a product and see a price history graph as well (since it seems like you should have this data your db).
