Trying to find the best deal on your next purchase can be stressful. If you are like me you spend a lot of time perusing the internet hoping to hit the jackpot with an awesome deal. Times are tough and every extra dollar helps. We all want to get the biggest bang for our buck. So no stone goes unturned trying to find it. It can be a tiresome process. We search the web, check out the papers and weekly circulars. When we do find that amazing deal we feel accomplished and a little worn out.

Recently I had the chance to review a new mobile application called ShopSavvy.

What is ShopSavvy?
ShopSavvy is a new android application for T-Mobiles G1.

What does ShopSavvy Do?

With ShopSavvy finding the best price couldn’t be easier. You take a snapshot of the bar code with the phones built in camera. Or you can enter the bar code manually, I prefer to scan the bar code. It’s easier and faster. Once you have scanned or entered the bar code ShopSavvy finds the prices at online retailers or from you local retailers with GPS technology.

One of the best things is you can visit the website of the online retailer or make a call to the local retailer right then and there from your phone.

Before you decide to buy you may want to check out Reviews of the product first. You can do this right from you cell via ShopSavvy. I know when I’m making a big ticket purchase I want to make sure that the product does all it claims to do.

Or maybe the prices still aren’t where you want them to be. You’ve been eying that beautiful camera for awhile now but still aren’t prepared to pay the price they are asking. With ShopSavvy you can set up a Price Alert. Once that camera goes on sale it’s yours baby!

You can even set up a Wish List. We all have one of those. Now you can organize it onto your phone.

My Thoughts:

Overall this was a great application. It was so easy to use, I’m convinced that even my Mother in Law could figure it out. When telling her about it I think she fell in love with the concept.

ShopSavvy is currently only available with T-Mobiles G1. My cell phone service is still under contract with another provider so it’s really not option for me. Although I fell in love with the G1 and ShopSavvy. But if you are a current T-Mobile customer or are looking to switch. You should check out the T-Mobile G1.
