Minimize duplicate posts during ingest #15

3Taps often feeds us identical items back to back. They do have different postingIds but they're the effectively the same item. Therefore, the feed and search results have many identical images and headings on the screen.

Examples:

Idea to resolve this:

1) During ingestion but before upserting check to see if we have item with identical heading and price and whose posting date create was the same day.

2) If the first suggestion is not accurate enough or perhaps overly stringent we could look into avoiding ingestion if we already have referencing the same image.
