Feature request: Add dynamic pricing #174

Since some weeks several shops started with “dynamic pricing”. This feature in the TooGoodToGo app is added in the app some time ago in my country (the Netherlands).

According to TGTG dynamic pricing is a benefit for shops, users and probably TGTG itself too. The fixed pricing for example was a box from €14,99 to €4,99. The same shop now offers a box from €14,99 to €7,49 as the first discount step. Further down in steps to €6,99, €5,99, €4,99 and €3,99. This is observed by myself and not published by TGTG. The algorithm when/how the price drop is triggered is unknown to me.

The problem now is not to know if there is a box available but also for what price. If the price is still too high, one may wait a while until the prices drops one of more steps. The price is already included in the box data.

Is it possible to create a kind of notification if the price is dropping? For example from €7,49 to €6,99 and so on?
