Eating the dog food at ShopSavvy
Okay, so this morning before church I stopped by Target to do some early grocery shopping. I made a point to ‘eat the dog food’ by scanning everything I was thinking about buying AND lots of stuff I had no intention of buying. I began by adding prices for a bunch of the ‘first scan’ products we see a lot (Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper, Vitamin Water, Gatorade and lots of water). We had most of the ‘first scan’ items (I think I had to fix the pictures in two of them) but we didn’t have prices from Target. I added those. Next I scanned paper towels and toilet paper – lots of other folks have added prices from other stores like Tom Thumb, Walmart, Walgreens and CVS – the Target price was better. I added it and bought the paper products. Notice in the screen shot of the app to the right. For the first time we have more local stores (21) that carry a grocery item than online (4). Even more interesting the local prices are better than the online prices – Wow!
