Online Vendor Product Codes about phprecipebook

The situation where you say it works sounds like the way I am currently using it. This is what I do:

• Create meal plan.
• Add to shopping list
• Go Shopping button
• Remove items I have
• Shop online button
• Find product codes on 'Vendor' website and put them in the text boxes. I have to use browser dev tools to find the IDs (pain).
• Test them by then clicking the 'add' link.

It has been about 2 weeks of doing this and at this point I have 3-4 items I have to add per run. So now I first press the 'Add All' button which puts all the items I know the product codes for in my cart. Without an API or master list from the vendor that is the best I could come up with.

Now is the part where I need some suggestions for improvements. What would make this easier but still be simple? I have couple ideas for improvements including:

• Share product IDs across users, allow them to take the default or add their own as a override.
• Allow ingredients to have more than 1 product ID, add some more data for each like price/size/name. This way if you want turkey deli meat one week and chicken the next you could select at checkout.
• Some script to crawl the vendor website and build a list from that. That would have to most likely be a one-of process run during setup or something.

What you think? Any of those worthwhile or is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

Todd
