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

# Clone and install dependencies
npm install

This will install:

• puppeteer (^22.0.0) - Browser automation

Requires: Node.js 18+, npm

Usage

Common Commands

Alternative: Web Fetch

For Woolworths deals without running code:

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

Alternative: Search

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.
