Price and stock watch
Checks the price and stock of a product at a few stores and sends a short brief with the cheapest in-stock option.
When to use it
Use it for something you plan to buy or reorder, or put it on a routine (for example every weekday morning).
What it needs
The product and the stores or suppliers to check. Web browsing.
Steps
- Open each store's page for the product.
- Record the price, shipping if shown, and whether it's in stock.
- Compare with the last check, if there was one.
- Pick the cheapest in-stock option.
How it checks itself
Link each price. If a site blocks you or the page changed, say so instead of using an old number.
What you get back
A 5-line brief: cheapest in-stock option, any price change since last time, and any store you couldn't check.
Needs your OK
Don't buy anything or create accounts. Running this on a schedule uses my plan's usage.
