## Selectors used (verified against this fixture)

- Card root: `div.coupon-card-wrapper` (fallback: `div.coupon-card-container`)
- Price + short name: `.coupon-card-value-text` (e.g. `"$13.97 Pepsi 24 packs"`)
- Long description: `.coupon-card-short-description`
- Image: `img` inside `.coupon-card-img-container` (CDN URL: `cdn.luckysupermarkets.com/loyalty/offer/<id>.jpg`)
- No per-card link is present in the rendered DOM (offers are non-navigable tiles).

## First parsed item (sample)

```json

  "name": "Pepsi 24 packs",

  "current_price": 13.97,

```

## Notes

- ONE live fetch performed by `scripts/spike_lucky_scrape.py`. Do not rerun without reason.
- HTML and PNG saved alongside this file (`weekly_ad.html`, `weekly_ad.png`).
- Initial parser (regex-based on `h2/h3/a` text) produced only 1 item; selectors were
  stale. A minimal additive fix landed in `backend/app/scraper/lucky_ca_scraper.py`:
  new `_parse_coupon_card` + `parse_featured_coupons_html` methods that target
  Swiftly-style `.coupon-card-wrapper` cards. Old `_parse_coupon_item` retained
  as a fallback path.
- Schema impact: `grocery_item` columns (name, current_price, image_url, is_on_sale,
  scraped_at, scraped_url) are all populated. `product_url` is None for every
  card (no per-offer link in DOM) — keep nullable. New optional `description`
  field is produced; either add a `description TEXT` column or drop it.
