Automated Hobby Lobby Price Drop Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Hobby Lobby's online catalog, checks the price of every item on your standing supply watchlist, logs any price drop to Google Sheets with the old and new price, and updates your Notion sourcing board so buying decisions are made from current numbers.
How do I track Hobby Lobby price drops on the supplies I buy regularly?
WebRun checks the price of every item on your Hobby Lobby supply watchlist every Monday, logs any drop to Google Sheets with the old and new price, and updates your Notion sourcing board with this week's numbers. Recurring buyers, from classrooms to small craft businesses, see a price change the same week it happens instead of missing a sale.
- Price drops get caught the week they happen
- Sourcing decisions come from a live board, not memory
- A running log makes budget planning easier at reorder time

Does it buy anything for me?
No. WebRun only checks prices and logs what changed. Every purchase is made by you, in store or on the Hobby Lobby site.
How do I set which items it watches?
Give it your standing supply list once and it rechecks the same items every Monday. Add or remove items any time.
What counts as a meaningful price drop?
Any recorded decrease gets logged, and items are moved into the Notion Buy Now section once the drop crosses the threshold you set.
