Need for instant notifications about discounts at «Vkusvill» and «Perekrestok»

1. Describe the problem:

I regularly buy groceries at «Vkusvill». There are three of them in our district, all nearby. They have one cool feature: every day they put products with a 40% discount on a separate shelf to sell them quickly.

For a family of two, these savings amount to 10,000–12,000 rubles per month (118$ - 141$). We just buy things that are usually expensive (fish, meat, steaks, shrimp, caviar, sweets) but are now discounted.

What's the main pain point? The stores don't have any notifications about these promotions. Every trip I make is a lottery. I often come, and there's nothing interesting or profitable for me on the shelf. I miss the opportunity to save simply because I don't know it exists right now.

I need a solution that would instantly notify me about new discounts in my stores and on the products I'm interested in. This applies to both «Vkusvill» and «Perekrestok».

Perhaps a pilot project with the chain itself will be needed to start. There's a chance they might not be against it because it increases their customers' loyalty, which is important given the clear competition with «Perekrestok».

By the way, it would also be very convenient if there was an option to order delivery of these discounted items.

2. How often does the problem occur?

I visit the store almost every day.

3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?

I don't know how to solve this myself. I haven't seen any ready-made solutions.

4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?

I am willing to pay up to 500 rubles (6$) per month for such a solution. The ideal format would be if it were free, and instead of a subscription, for example, they showed me ads.
