# Compare Woolworths and Aldi prices for milk, eggs and bread

**Use case:** 

Searches Woolworths for full cream milk, free range eggs, white bread and Greek yoghurt, reads the matching products from Aldi's dairy and bakery categories, and returns each product's price, was price, size, unit price per kg or litre and any special, so you can compare a basket across both stores. Use your own shopping list, or schedule it to track price changes.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/subtleasianmerch/australian-grocery-prices.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
