Shopkick is a shopping rewards app that lets you start earning points, or “kicks,” as soon as you walk in a store. You can earn additional kicks by scanning the barcodes of certain products, and making purchases.

There are over 270,000 participating retail locations, ranging from Best Buy to Yankee Candle, so shopping lovers of all interests can reap some benefits!

There’s nothing more frustrating than buying a product only to find it for a lower price elsewhere. Thankfully, ShopSavvy can make sure this never happens to you again. Simply scan the barcode of the item you want to purchase, and ShopSavvy will show you the price of the item at various stores, and online retailers. With ShopSavvy, your shopping skills will impress even the most extreme coupon cutters.
