Who da thunk....

My cell phone payed for it's self today... I never really thought I needed a smart phone but it was heaven sent today..I had a bunch of errands and shopping to do. I will give this example of how it saved me big time...Looking for T shirts for Mr B and a 14 cup coffee maker...nothing at Sears.  So I walk to Penney's..Wow mall's changed and find his T shirts and then a on line coupon that they excepted...Then saw they had a sm. appliance sale..ya right! They had 2 14 cup and the sale was buy full price get lesser appliance for 50% off. Well I though 130.00 was a tad high for a Cuisinart coffee maker..then I needed a new food processor as well and I thought 75.00 for that Hamilton Beach was a tad high. typed them into phone. Best buy which is a bit over hundred yards from the mall has both, 79 and 47...So at Best Buy I could buy the same 2 appliances not on sale for 2.00 and change less than Penney's big sale.  Same thing on a couple of other things.  You'd think these stores would know better with all the cell phones everyone has..I wouldn't have bought the T's at Penny's after that but, they are the only ones that carry them and the price was fair.

There's a free app (forget the name) that you can scan the UPC bar code and it'll show all the local prices for that exact item.
