This is very fun, I like it. The price history only goes back a few days, is that because this just started or do you only keep a few days of history?
Thanks! That's because it just started. I intend to keep the full history.

Looks like they're just straight up links, and not referral links. Pretty sure nobody is earning a commission when someone clicks them.
I can assure you I am not earning a commission :)

Some day in the near future, the marketing department will wonder why so many people were curious about all of their products after browsing Organic Ground Beef[0]

How are they getting the prices for these? Is this run by Trader Joe’s? I hope someone isn’t manually updating these.
Also won’t prices differ by location? So many questions.

Is this for one store or all stores? It's commendable that you posted your code, but a minimal README would be appreciated.
Looking through your code, I see that the default store is Chicago South Loop (701). This would be helpful information to include on the website displaying the results.
Yes, you make a good point. Although I suspect there may be regional differences in price, I haven't yet run the diff on that. Should be simple enough for me to allow the user to select their regional store location.
