We all like to find a bargain especially now as money is tighter than before and modern mobile technology has helped us do this with a huge number of smartphone applications available to users. The Shop Scan Save app for Android and iOS will help you save money while you are out shopping.

The free application provides users with a number of saving offers on a wide range of everyday products that are available from over 24,000 convenience stores in the UK. Users are provided with offers that can be taken advantage of at stores that have a PayPoint terminal that includes 11,000 independent stores along with others such as the Coop, One Stop, Spar, Pace, Nisa, Costcutter, Bestway, Landmark, and McColls.

It works by users signing up for the service and are provided with a unique ID number that comes in the form of a barcode, and this is then scanned at the shop via the PayPoint terminal to get your discount on your chosen product.

Users are provided with regular offers that can be seen via the My Offers section that once redeemed will then appear in the My Savings section. There is also a useful section that will locate stores that offers can be redeemed that are closest to your location, but only if you have allowed the app to detect your location.

The application has got mixed reviews on both platforms but some have stated they have saved lots of money, and as it is free it may be worth giving it a try. To download the app hit the App Store or Google Play.
