Why this scraper

• Both supermarkets in one Actor — other scrapers do only one.
• Same columns for both stores → compare prices directly in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Specials only option to track weekly catalogue deals.
• Specials are real specials: Coles "Everyday" low prices and collectables are not counted as deals.
