Supermarket Sales

Fetch weekly sale details from Australian supermarkets (Woolworths and Coles). Use when the user wants to check current specials, compare prices, or get sale information from Woolworths or Coles.

Supermarket Sales Fetcher

Fetch weekly specials and sale details from Woolworths and Coles Australia.

Overview

This skill retrieves current supermarket specials from Australia's two major grocery chains:

• Coles - Direct fetch via Puppeteer browser automation
• Woolworths - Via trusted third-party aggregators (official site blocks automated access)

Works well for Melbourne metro area (postcode 3000-3008).

Installation

bash

# Clone and install dependencies
npm install

This will install:

• puppeteer (^22.0.0) - Browser automation

Requires: Node.js 18+, npm

Usage

Common Commands

Task	Command
Fetch all deals	npm start or node scripts/fetch_daily.js
Coles only	npm run coles or node scripts/fetch_with_puppeteer.js
Bash (basic)	bash scripts/fetch_sales.sh

Alternative: Web Fetch

For Woolworths deals without running code:

text

web_fetch: { "url": "https://www.catalogueau.com/sales/?stores=Woolworths" }
web_fetch: { "url": "https://currentspecials.com.au/woolworths-weekly-catalogue/" }

Alternative: Search

text

web_search_plus: { "query": "Woolworths Coles specials this week Melbourne" }

How It Works

Coles

Uses Puppeteer to launch a headless browser, navigate to coles.com.au/on-special, and extract product cards with prices and savings.

Woolworths

Uses trusted aggregators (catalogueau.com, currentspecials.com.au) since woolworths.com.au blocks automated access.
