 I threw this together one afternoon as I was frustrated that even though Tesco displays the '​price-per-ml'​ for things like cans and bottles of Coca Cola, it doesn'​t let you sort by '​price-per-ml'​. ​ So I wrote a quick script that will download an entire sub category of products, extract the data from them, then output them all to a CSV that I can filter/sort myself. I threw this together one afternoon as I was frustrated that even though Tesco displays the '​price-per-ml'​ for things like cans and bottles of Coca Cola, it doesn'​t let you sort by '​price-per-ml'​. ​ So I wrote a quick script that will download an entire sub category of products, extract the data from them, then output them all to a CSV that I can filter/sort myself.
