Shopping Simplified: Key Ring App
Posted by Natalie Kaar / Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
Hey there, shoppers! Tired of your wallet overflowing, not because of too much cash (oh, to have that problem!), but because of too many discount cards? Or is it your key ring that has grown beyond the average janitor’s due to said cards? (That’d be me.)
While the moolah these plastic pieces save us is welcomed, there’s got to be a better way to bag those bennies, right?
Welcome to the Key Ring app, yet another case of a tool that makes Shopping Simplified.

Just scan the barcodes on everything from your drugstore cards to your ones from your fave grocery stores and specialty stores like Babies ‘R’ Us; then save them to the app. Before you know it, big discounts are as close as your trusty phone. The app also offers special discounts at participating merchants.
Of course, as with any scanner app, compliance can’t be 100-percent guaranteed due to cashiers who may not have a clue or incompatible devices. Still, in most cases, no problema.
Happy shopping!
