ShopSaver

Worried about whether you are being overcharged at the checkout?


Tired of getting home and reading your receipt only to find they charged you full price instead of the sale price for an item?

ShopSaver can ensure you don't get overcharged at the checkout, as you know in advance how much the total should be. You are then made aware of any price discrepancies before you leave the store.

Have you ever been shopping with a limited budget, used a calculator to add up your items and when you are almost done you realise that the last item will make you exceed your budget? If you put something else back other than the last item, how will you know what the new total is without having to go searching through the store for the price again?
Using ShopSaver you can easily remove any item from your Shopping List and the Item Total will be updated for you.

If you are doing a small shop and there is an express lane with 15 Items or less, rather than waste time counting your items only to discover you have 16 and in the meantime the normal checkouts just got busier, with a glance at the Total Quantity in ShopSaver you can see if you qualify.

Want an easy way to see which of your favourite shops has the lowest price for your regularly bought items? Add them as Shops in ShopSaver and after you have visited your first shop and you have added your items, they will be available in the Item Library for all future Shops and Shopping Lists. If you add that item from the Item Library and enter a cheaper price, it will record the new cheapest price, as well as where and when you found it. 

Are you one of those people that loves going through their junk-mail looking for things to buy or add to your ‘most-wanted’ list, find heaps of great items that you want to get only later to forget what they were or what shop they were at?
As you go through your junk-mail, add your Shops, Items and prices to ShopSaver and you will have your lists with you everywhere you go.
