   Pretty sure I am not paying anything or using any API key :) Open Street Map basemap was too colorful and contrast with my color scheme was not very good in many parts of the map

   Data :) Not easy to get it at scale without APIs

   It is not easy to get this kind of data as most of these companies do not provide any public APIs. I will continue exploring adding more products.

   Plotted using Leaflet. A python script creates separate HTML file for every product that has a price differential across stores (many products do not have any price difference across the country). Hosted as a static site.

    It is also interesting how some products are just marked up for NYC only https://www.aldipricemap.com/earthly_grains_instant_jasmine_...

    I would assume so as well. Generally produce apear cheaper in West/South although organic avocados are bucking this trend
