Get paid to shop with Quidco

On June 29, 2011, in Blog, by

So generally as a rule I don’t tend to ‘buy in’ to these types of sites, offering cash back deals for doing normal shopping.. However when I moved into my new apartment I wanted to switch energy providers, and I new that Quidco had an offer of £80 cash back to switch to one of the major providers. So I thought I really have nothing to loose. I went ahead with the switch, honestly thinking nothing would come of it – and I have recently received my £80 cash back. That’s right.. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it honestly did work. Granted it took ages for the claim to process… But it’s £80 for doing nothing I wasn’t doing anyway!

Last night I did some online shopping, and then checked Quidco for a voucher code, sure enough there was one – I used that and got a percentage of my spend back. Again I was buying the items anyway – so it made sense to use it.

Unlike the recent internet boom of Groupon, Quidco offers savings on day to day items. Check it out, you’ve nothing to loose!

Don’t just shop.. ShopSavvy!

On January 3, 2010, in Blog, by

With the introduction of camera based phone with internet access, applications started popping up all over the place claiming the ability of being able to read product barcodes and compare prices online. In the past I have found that the camera’s have never been really capable or in fact reliable enough to successfully scan the barcode and then find the product..

However, ShopSavvy seems to have managed to remedy these issues. Using ShopSavvy on your iPhone you can scan the barcode of pretty much anything, and within minutes you have a nicely formatted list of sellers for you to compare prices with.
This app comes into it’s own when you out shopping for expensive items such as TV’sPC’s etc. Obviously it’s not always practical to scan the barcode of a TV! But if you are watching the pennies, it’s worth checking smaller items as well.
Feature List
              • Search – lookup any product sporting a barcode
              • Reviews – quickly access reviews of products from real product owners around the world
              • Price Alerts – If you are dying to make that product purchase, but not overly happy with the price you can set an alert and be notified once it’s within the range you set!
              • Wish Lists – Easily create your wish list of items you want santa to bring you by simply scanning the item on your phone
              • History – Each time you scan an item, ShopSavvy keeps a history of it giving you easy access previously scanned goods
            • Best of all…. It’s FREE
