Here is an web app that tracks the grocery prices of my shopping at Aldi. It is meant to track grocery price inflation over time. It is obviously limited and incomplete since it is just based on my haphazard Aldi shopping. It includes a "basket of goods" total for each quarter, graphs, product pages, etc. It is coded by an LLM (except for maybe the initial commit). I don't write or edit the code, but I do sometimes "look" at the code, and ask for changes based on what code I see, so purists might question it as being 100% vibe coded.

Funny, i created an extension that does does something similar. I wanted to watch specific products at a grocery store that go on sale and look for the pattern. It opens page that has been flagged to watch and extracts data and then charts results for various things i want to track. It was more of a POC which has lead to some other data scraping apps i wanted. I am not a developer but know enough having worked around tech for awhile i can usually figure something out. claude has been amazing for me, especially since i can ask questions about its code/logic and learn as we go.

this reminds me of the MIT billion prices project
