The economy is already in the gutter and many of us are being very careful spending our money. We do the best we can to maximize the value of each and every dollar that we earn. Finding the best deals when shopping is not the easiest thing but technology is here to help us.

The new generation of smart phones such as the iPhone can help us save money when shopping. There are a number of applications that given information about a product along with one’s location can tell which store has the best deal. Google’s Android smart phone sold by T-mobile has a barcode scanner that can do this for you easily. Many devices have barcode scanners but only Android’s ShopSavvy application can help you save money instantly.

The application works by allowing users to scan the barcode on a product’s box and then given knowledge of the phone’s location via GPS and a large product database accessible online gives suggestions about the store’s that are nearby and have the best deal on the product. Now, that is progress!
