Inspiration

As incoming university students, we were inspired by the struggle of grocery shopping and feeding ourselves for the first time. This inspired us to make a streamlined, efficient method of generating a grocery list to eliminate waste of time and waste of money

What it does

This website takes a recipe from allrecipes.com as the input. The process was web scraping the website to extract the ingredients. The output is a mailed list of the ingredients you need with no duplicates and in alphabetical order

How we built it

We built this using python, the beautiful soups library(web scraping) and the smtp library(mailing). To connect the html,css and python, we used flask.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges when trying to connect the CSS to the html when it was connected to the python in pycharm

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of learning how to use new libraries in python and creating a web application that we would actually use in real life

What we learned

We learned how to use flask , how to web scrape, and how to use python to send mail

What's next for Stop Shop and Roll

Next we will try to expand the amount of websites we can use. In addition we will use twilio instead of smtp lib to send mail. Also we will include measurements and ingredients. Also we will web scrape grocery store sites for deals
