## Changelog

All notable changes to Tesco Product Scraper will be documented in this file.

### \[2026-08-31]

#### 💰 Cheaper to start a run

- Runs no longer start a browser, so the Actor now reserves a quarter of the memory it did before. The Actor-start charge scales with memory, which makes every run cheaper to begin.
- Nothing changed in your data. Fields, GBP prices, Clubcard values and stock flags were all checked row-for-row against the previous version before this shipped.
