My Favorite Smart Phone App, or one of them….
I love my Droid X, it’s a great tool and has come in more handy then I ever thought it would. And yes it’s not perfect either and it’s expensive to own. Effectively I spend an extra $30 per month for all the services, apps, movies and web I use. Not bad but still a lot of money. You would think being in the business I would have had one of these a long time ago. Not so. I am a slow adaptor. It has to pay for itself or add significant value I can’t get from anywhere else.
ShopSavvy is my solution to this problem. And here is why I rate it my number one. Its not the one I use the most or the one I like the most, but it solves the ever present problem of all smart phones, that $30 per month data cost.
The app is simple, It’s a price comparison tool. When you’re at the store, launch the app on your Android or IPhone and scan the manufactures barcode and it will return the prices both online and locally. If your store matches you win, if not just drive to the closest store and save. Simple really.
Where do I use it? Best Buy, Home Depot, Publix, Kroger, Wal-Mart, Academy Sports, Office Depot and of course the mall (which I don’t go to very often) The great thing is that most stores will honor local price matches, because they want your business.
I have had great luck at Home Depot lately. I needed a battery for my dogs electric fence collar, Home Depot was $9.97, and Ace Hardware was $5.47. Score for me. I saved the difference and Home Depot also gave me 10% of that difference as a bonus. And the closest Ace is 20 miles away.
If you’re thinking of adding a smart phone to your house but are on the fence about the cost make sure you install this app and use it. Don’t buy more, just what you normal buy and that $30 will go away every month Problem Solved. Then all the other things we use the phone for are just gravy.
Tell me your favorite app and why…
