    Shop Savvy got me half-price at Best-Buy on a phone charger. I scanned it at the store, and Best-Buy's webside listed it for half of what it rang up for at the till. They honored their website price. This is an app I'm going to keep.

    also on atleast 1 item i have scanned it reports it as "Hotel collection 10pc down alternative bed in a bag blue/chocolate cal king size" when you scan a pack of Marlboro blend No. 54 100's
