Using a Smart Phone as a Shopping Tool!

Do you have a smart phone or know someone who does?  If you do, you have a handy shopping tool at your disposal!  All you need to do is search for an app that read a UPC from a product and then tells you which store has that product for the best price. 

After I bought my iPhone, I started to look for various apps.  One day, I heard about the apps that saved people money by reading a product's UPC and then told where to shop for the best price.  Well, I decided to give that type of app a try!  Being the money saver that I am, I opted for one of the free UPC reading apps.  The first UPC that I scanned with the iPhone's camera was the one for Smucker's Chunky Natural Peanut Butter.  The price (before coupons) that I normally paid was somewhere in the neighborhood of  $2.99 for a one pound jar.  The UPC reading app told me that I could get that same peanut butter at Wal-Mart for $2.28!  The actual price was a few cents more at $2.34.  That is a savings of $.65 without any coupons!  My kind of savings!

What do you need to do?  Get a hold of a smart phone and start scanning to see where you can find the best prices for the products you buy!  May the deal sweeter by using coupons!
