iPhoned lists shopping apps that help you spend less money when shopping in the supermarket, or when picking up / delivering food.
Grocery shopping apps to save money
You can save money in several ways when doing your shopping and picking up your food. Of course, real bargain hunters keep a close eye on the weekly offers and check whether a takeaway restaurant has an interesting monthly deal. There are also various apps that make it easy to spend as little money as possible on groceries. We list them.
1. Sjoprz
Sjoprz is a handy app for the supermarket, because this app shows exactly in which store your favorite products are cheapest. You add products via a list or by scanning a barcode. This way you build up a shopping list and the app tells you where you can get those groceries the cheapest. The app even takes into account whether that store can be found near you and whether there are offers. The app also shows whether you can save the most money if you do not get the products from one supermarket, but distribute them among different supermarkets.
2. Scoupy
You often come across promotions in the supermarket where you can get your purchase amount back. Nice, but usually too much hassle. The Scoupy app makes this process very easy. You choose an action from the app, buy the product in the supermarket of your choice, scan the receipt with your smartphone and within a few days part of the amount or the full amount will be on your account. It’s a great way to get some extra offers and try out new products.
3. Too Good To Go
The amount of food thrown away in the Netherlands is not good. The Too Good To Go app wants to do something about this. In the app you can see various restaurants in your area, where you can reserve a surprise package. Food left over that day is put in this box and otherwise thrown away. For a small amount you can pick it up in the evening. At popular locations you have to be there early. Not only do you help with the use of this app to prevent food waste, but because the contents of the boxes remain a surprise, you may also eat something new.
4. Pepper.com
If you like to hunt for bargains, then you probably know Pepper.com. All kinds of promotions from physical stores and web stores are collected on the website. The app is also useful for keeping an eye on these bargains, both for offers and discount codes. These codes, for example with a discount on takeaway pizzas, can be found in the app by scrolling down slightly. Go to ‘Find groups’ in the menu and search for ‘food’ to find everything food related.
Albert Heijn product scanner
Apps are also used in other ways by supermarkets. One of the newest examples of this is the AH Product Scanner, which gives you extra information via augmented reality. Read more about the AH Product Scanner.
