Robot: Do my online shopping!

COVID reminded us that most of our shopping can be done online.  However, after a long day at work, who wants to spend another hour on the computer planning groceries and browsing ingredients?  I, for one, have automated our shopping at home:

Step 1: Drag & Drop a weekly menu

Step 2: Enter your credit card details

The app above is spoonacular.com:  Based on the recipes it creates a shopping list.  If Monday needs 2 tomatoes, and Thursday needs 1 tomato, it knows to add 3 tomatoes to your list:

You then add by hand any additions (for example soap) and hit run!

Our robot will read the shopping list and translate items into the brands we like at the supermarket:  So 2 yoghurts turns into 2 tubs x 32oz La yoghurt probiotic.  Next, it will open order.lindos.bm, fill in your details, the shopping list and it's done.

The browser then hands control over to you to double-check and pay.

All in all, my shopping takes 15 minutes.

If you need help automating your business, send us an email.
