Babyfood Finder

The year is 2022 and Baby Food has become the hard to find item. While the pandemic has hit many different products supply lines(2020 Toilet Paper shortage remembers), this one hits in a different way.

I was very fortunate to be not sweat the early shortages, but baby food hits in a slightly different way when you have a 9 month old daugther. This is my effort to make it slightly easier to find baby food while a pandemic is raging.

The goal of this project is to make it easier to find out when baby food is available to buy. It should optimize for making it easy to find stores with baby food. It should not attempt to automate the purchase of the product.
