Show HN: UK Butchers Meat Price Tracker

https://offer-spider.onrender.com
13•wolfer•5d ago
Hey all!

Long time lurker, thought I would contribute back something to the community (at least the meat eaters in the UK). One thing that's been a pain for me to get a good understanding of is what the best price is for online butchers based around the UK. I like high quality meat (including some of the bigger cuts for kamado/bbq), and I'm willing to pay a premium however there isn't a single resource that would let me get an overview of what's available and price movements over time.

For my Xmas meat I didn't want to start building out a spreadsheet so I built a price tracker with quite a few convenience features to make it easy to search for certain cuts of meat across commonly mentioned butchers on Reddit and other communities.

If you find it useful let me know if there are any features that could help to make it even easier to find the cuts of meat that you're looking for!

Here's the tracker: https://offer-spider.onrender.com

Hosted on Render, built with Nextjs and SQLite. Spidering various custom e-com sites (WooCommerce, Shopify) on a daily basis.

My current TODOs: - Search is currently free-text OR. Add AND to allow focussing down a search, and select from facets/categories/taxonomy - Common search terms to pre-fill - Exposing price over time metrics - Further consolidation of SKUs to an internal taxonomy - More butchers - Expanding to other use cases outside of meat!

Nice work. I’ve also tinkered on unit pricing! I worked on Popgot.com, which is similar but for the US and tracks non-perishable staples
