Free App Friday: ShopAdvisor

This has happened to me too many times before: I buy a pair of shoes at full price one week, only to discover that they're 20% off a few days later. It's definitely what you'd call a "first world problem," but it's infuriating. I would have loved to save the $20 and put it toward a bag of groceries or, more frivolously, a belt to match those shoes. ShopAdvisor for your iPad can help you avoid these kind of situations by bookmarking the product you're looking for and alerting you when it falls below a certain price.

ShopAdvisor watches clothing, toys, electronics, and even food! We're crazy about KIND bars at the office and ShopAdvisor lets me know when a box of a dozen goes on sale for under $11. When you're ready to purchase an item you've been watching, you can select it and ShopAdvisor will give you a list of outlets that offers the product for the price you're looking for. Sometimes the items don't include shipping and handling however, so that's something you might want to factor in to the total price you're willing to pay for a product. Regardless, if you use your iPad for online shopping, you might want to consider placing ShopAdvisor on your Home page.
