Have you ever been in a situation at a store where you see something that you like and want to buy but the price tag makes you hesitant? Despite the price tag on the item, you still chose to buy it, only to find out later that you could have gotten a better deal on it down the street or online.
If you can relate to that scenario then ShopSavvy for Google Android based cell phones is the perfect tool for you to add to the arsenal.
With the Android ShopSavvy application currently available for any Android phone you are able to use the built in camera to scan the barcode of a product at which time a list will then be populated with the prices of the item at online retailers and also at various local stores by using your phone’s built in GPS to determine your location.
This instant access allows you to shop smart and not jump at the first price that you see, and it gets rid of the “frustrated later because you didn’t shop around” scenario.
