Shoppers are going wild for iPhone and Android app that slashes supermarket bills
EVERY penny saved counts at the minute.
The cost of living crunch in the UK has meant that everyday items in the supermarket are growing in price.

Rising inflation has made it harder for many families to afford even essential items.

But an app called Shopmium has sought to ease shoppers concerns.
The money-saving app vows to make sure users can avoid paying full price at the biggest supermarkets in the UK, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons.
Even café chains like Costa and Starbucks are offering discounted goods through the app.
One savvy shopper on TikTok, @chloesdealclub, urged her followers to check out the app which offers discounts or free items from supermarkets, and other retailers like Holland & Barrett.
The app displays offers from ready meals and bottles of wine to tea bags and shaving razors.
It also lets shoppers know exactly what store will stock the soon-to-be discounted item with its geolocation feature.
Users can also shop via selected brands, such as rice brand Tilda, snackpot brand Plantastic or Italian brand Cirio.
To get discounts, shoppers must first buy one of the apps suggested products in-store for the full price – and be sure to keep the receipt.
Then users must take pictures of the front and back of the receipt, scan the products’ barcode through the app and then wait.
Smart shoppers will then get cashback via PayPal or bank transfer.
Users can also collect loyalty points to earn rewards, or refer friends for cashback rewards.
The app keeps track of users’ total money spent and the amount of credit shoppers are owed.
Shopmium can be found in the App Store for both Apple iPhone and Android users.
