How to get the best deal on your purchases with Savvy

Buying a product only to find out it was either on sale somewhere else or it went on sale after you purchased it can be a frustrating experience. Savvy aims to help ease your frustrations while saving you some money.

There are plenty of ways to watch for the best deal online and in stores, but let's face it, there are just too many places to monitor and often times we end up missing out on the best deals.

Enter Savvy. Savvy is a unique service that will monitor your recent purchases, as well as items you plan on purchasing to ensure you have received the best deal possible.

After you make a purchase, take a picture of the itemized receipt from a supported retailer (the list is long and will continue to grow), and Savvy will add the items on the receipt to your account. Savvy will then monitor the purchased items, and should any of them go on sale within the return period, you will receive an alert, allowing you to go back to the retailer and get a refund for the price difference.

You can also name your own price for an item. After you name your price, Savvy will then monitor the item and let you know once it has reached your named price. If you prefer to simply be alerted once the price of an item has dropped, you can set up an alert for it as well.

You can use the Web site, iOS app [iTunes link] or Android app [Market link], to carry out manage your purchases and alerts, as well as view any recent deals discovered by Savvy.
