#92Open food fact recently launched Open Prices (https://prices.openfoodfacts.org/). It's currently crowd-sourced instead of an automated crawling, but prices are localized in space and time which could lead to intersting results.
This will lead to an open database of food product prices.

#93Interesting! 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…

I'd also change it to `Referer`, as that is what Chrome seems to be using. And referrer is set twice!
Indeed, he spelled it the right way, which is the wrong way. He should spell it wrong, which is the right way. :) I think it is funny that this misspelling hasn't been fixed after all of these years. It was typo'ed in the original http spec in 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer
Most things that care about that field accept both because so many programmers make that mistake.
But you're technically right, the best kind of right.

#95If you don't mind sharing, how do you find their API? I don't understand graphql that well and I've been trying to play with https://www.traderjoes.com/api/graphql to no avail. Cool project, github star achieved.

It's a neat idea, but I think you need some automation to make it useful over a long period of time. There's a website to do track gas prices, and they just change too much to keep updated.

People are not economically rational. Most people don't buy pasta when rice is expensive. Econ 101 explains rational actors in a vaccum, not gluten free, asian culture, anti Italians sentiment, or hatred of Monsanto.
> Most people don't buy pasta when rice is expensive. They would if rice prices went through the roof, which they won't because people who sell rice are not stupid. Econ 101 certainly explains why you can actually buy gluten free products now (supply for demand) and why gluten free products are usually more expensive (niche market). My ECON 101 prof talked about the limitations of models and theories based on assumpt…
No, they're geniuses because they're subsidized and will always be profitable. They lowered prices by taking it from your taxes.
Throw in subsidies like how Clinton ruined Jamaican rice with protectionism and your supply demand and price are no longer rational. https://www.texasgateway.org/resource/201-protectionism-indi...
Econ 101 ignores subsidies which account for 100% of the big 3 crops and more like rice, and ignores any form of economics.

#98At the current price of $0.01 for 9ft, you could buy enough Trader Joe's Felted Wool Garland to wrap around the earth for just $146,000. Not bad!
How festive

#99I've decided to stop patronizing Trader Joe's after they argued that the NLRB is unconstitutional.

#100YES! thank you for doing this, I have been curious about some of the stuff I buy often and I felt like over the last year or two, things have climbed in prices a lot compared to the normal inflation price hikes.
