Building on my price checker (see part 1) I’ve now added in an option asking how much spends (a.k.a pocket money) is available and allowing for the end user to enter multiple ASINs before the program checks the prices.
Next step; storing the ASINs in/reading the ASINs from a file (e.g. a CSV file).

#turns the spanIDs into strings and then removes HTML that I don’t need to print
