This weeks Happy Hour special is called Shopsavvy – it’s a free mobile application that runs on Android phones, iPhones & Nokia phones. The idea is to turn your phone into a barcode scanner. Simply point the phones camera at the UPC bar code of the product you are interested and in, wait about 3 seconds and the scan will complete and then serve up the name and product information BUT most importantly it will show you where you could purchase the product for less. It could be alot less online  or just a few bucks to a store around the corner or you might already be where the best price is. Most barcodes I scanned ended up working correctly, sometimes though the product can’t be recognized because it hadn’t yet been added to the database (at that point you could enter it in).

My bottom line: ShopSavvy is a great Happy Hour Friday FREE app that has already saved me a few bucks and also gave me time back because I wouldn’t have to drive around to multiple stores.
