I have to tell you about this app! It’s called RedLaser and check out our experience! So we were shopping for my brother for Christmas who wanted a specific vacuum that would help pick up dog hair. Of course, he’s my brother so he doesn’t tell me until last minute. Anyway, we were in a store and found the one we thought he might like for $149. While looking around the rest of the store, we decided to look at some other stores and see what price they listed for the vacuum. I wasn’t too keen on this idea because as I mentioned it was last minute and as you can imagine traffic was busy in the stores. Well, on our way out of the door my husband remembered hearing about the RedLaser app. So, I’m not sure if we were just curious about this app, but we downloaded it for $1.99 We usually don’t spend money on apps because there are so many great apps for free. We joked saying this better be worth it.
So, we download the app which takes less than a minute, quickly read what it’s about and we are off…back to locate the vacuum we think is the Christmas winner. The app was SO easy. You simply locate the bar code on the item, and put your smartphone up to it as if you are scanning the code. A second or two later, it vibrates indicating it picked it up and spits back results of where you can buy the item cheaper. Well sure enough, it says it’s cheaper and it’s right down the street! So what started as a $149 gift, RedLaser now was telling us we could get the same exact item for $99 down the streetat another store. As you can imagine, we were in shock and not entirely sure it was accurate, but being the other store was so close, we said let’s go check it out. Sure enough,there it was, the vacuum that picks up pet hair for $99! We were pleasantly surprised. The halo to all of this, when we got to the register, it was actually $79! So thank you RedLaser!!! It’s worth the $1.99 we spent!
