UK Meat Offer Spider - Multi-item basket, price history charts, and a new butcher
Another update on the UK meat price comparison site I've been building. Posted a month ago about Browse by Cut and 90-day price ratings, this round is about making the site useful for an actual weekly shop, not just single-cut lookups. https://meat.offer-spider.com
What's new
Basket comparison, a big one. Comparing cuts one at a time only takes you so far when nobody stocks everything. Now you can build a basket: ribeye, chicken thighs, back bacon, whatever, and the site ranks every supplier by total basket cost plus an effective £/kg across the lot.
Two modes: rank all suppliers with gaps shown (default), or strict mode that only shows suppliers carrying your full basket. https://meat.offer-spider.com/basket
Price history charts - Last time I teased "graphs showing price over time", they're live now. Every cut page has a 90-day chart, plus per-row sparklines in the comparison table so you can spot a trend without clicking through.
Turner & George added - Another supplier in the mix, good range across beef, pork and lamb. Their dry-aged stuff in particular fills a gap and they are very good on price for brisket.
What's coming
- Delivery costs factored into basket totals (the hard one, suppliers don't publish delivery in a parseable way, so this'll take some scraping work)
- Quantities per basket item (1× vs 2× a cut)
- Saving named baskets ("My weekly shop"), needs accounts
- More butchers, still keen, let me know which ones you'd want
Still free, no ads, no affiliate links.
Let me know what you think, or if a cut/product isn't matching the right canonical, I review the matching queue regularly but it's not perfect yet.
PS - Still keen to get a trial group together for regular feedback. Feel free to DM me so we can have a quicker turnaround on product feedback to make this even better.
