Not definately.... but I often wonder when there is a mix of cans on the shelf. Will look next time I go to Asda.

You sure Keith?
I always thought the smarts for special offers etc was in the POS systems, not the barcodes..
certainly, I know for long enough, the code on a multipack can of diet coke was no different from the normal one..
(now, ironically enough, the multipack cans don't even *have* a code)

The problem with that is they will change frequently depending on offers etc eg Cans marked 50% extra or 3 for 2 will have differnt codes on them.
 
That is why I proposed learning the code against the type of product. If you are more demanding you could have
 
Heinz_Beans = Beans for Parents
Asda, Smartprice, Value, Economy = Crap beans for Kids
 
If you want it to perform automatic ordering you would need datafeeds from the suppliers with all current barcodes etc.
 
I am just trying to simplify the creation of the shopping list and avoid the situation where I have enough Shampoo and Shower gel for the whole of Norfolk but dont have a single Bog Roll in the house.

Does anyone have access to a list of supermarket barcodes, as these
probably won't be listed anywhere, for example own brand products.

As is mentioned below, there may be a possibility of developing an
database of products that don't already exist in current barcode lists.
