A ChatGPT Prompt That Saved My Christmas

Lately I was involved with some other things than writing, and I have some topics to share.

One is the result of me experimenting with ChatGPT. People usually write how great it is for business and work. But it’s also useful in a day to day life.

So today I’ll share with you a prompt I use on a daily basis that I found to be useful:

Take this grocery store, sort it by categories and next to each item display it’s price range in my city in this month and year

I don’t know if you noticed it, or maybe we all just got accustomed to it, but prices don’t really exist anymore. Let me explain.

Grocery stores and malls change prices so often, you really can’t compare them. If you note down today one store has a product at the proper level, tomorrow it may not be anymore.

This is what I mean by saying prices don’t exist anymore. Shops change prices on a daily basis, create discounts, promotions, products are scaled down. Eventually it means that shopping became quite a challenge.

I’m not too much of a shopper but especially now for Christmas I had to buy a lot of groceries.
