Price watch

Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Built {project_name}, a two-week price study of {item} across three retailers — live at {url}

Brief

Pick the one thing you are saving for and check its price daily at three stores for two weeks. Log every check, chart the series, and end with a verdict: when and where to buy. Fourteen days of consistent hand-collected data beats a price-tracker screenshot because you can vouch for every point.

Personalize

• The item. Something you intend to buy with your own money. The study only stays honest if you care about the answer.
• The three stores. Ones you could genuinely buy from: two online, one local is a good mix. Same product, same model number, checked at each.
• The checking time. Pick a fixed time of day and keep it. Note any day you missed instead of filling it in later.

Milestones

1. Set up the log: date, store, price, in stock or not, any coupon or sale flag. Record day one.
2. Collect daily for fourteen days. Missed days get logged as missed.
3. Structure the log into one data file; note currency and whether prices include tax and shipping.
4. Chart the three price lines on one honest axis (zero baseline or a clearly labeled break).
5. Publish the page: chart, full data table, and your verdict with the reasoning spelled out.

Done means

• Live URL with the chart, the full table, and the verdict
• Fourteen dated data points per store, gaps marked as gaps
• Prices comparable: tax and shipping handled the same way everywhere
• The verdict claims a pattern only if the data shows one; "no clear pattern" is an acceptable finding
• At least 5 commits across at least 4 distinct days, authored by you
• SESSIONS.md has an entry per session, written by you
