Another of the quick tips for saving has to do with making a shopping list. This allows us to adjust to the budget and avoid falling into the temptation of offering a special promotion that we had not planned to buy and that may become unnecessary. Online purchases are also a good option to avoid this problem and on many occasions, supermarkets offer online discounts that are not available in their stores.
Bearing this in mind, what discounts and apps can be used to save up to 60%?
In the country, there are three applications that can offer discounts on special products in supermarkets. Its particularity is the ease of use and access.
Gelt
In his presentation he offers to “give you your money back”. It is a new way of saving so that certain products are cheaper. First you buy them and then we pay you back a good part of what they cost you. When you accumulate money in the Virtual Wallet, the company sends a code so that you can go to an ATM and withdraw that money. No credit cards or fees of any kind.
Gelt is a mobile application created in Spain back in 2015 that has just arrived in Argentina and returns you cash (cashback) for purchases made in authorized stores. Gelt App also works in Spain, Mexico and Brazil.
Once registered you will access a list of products that is renewed every Friday for purchases in authorized supermarket stores and pharmacies throughout the country. After purchasing, the user scans the ticket from the mobile app. It should be clarified that the ticket must be official and the user must indicate if they made the purchase in person or through a delivery app. After 48 hours of completing this process, the cashback (money returned) will be credited in the app. When the accumulated reaches $1,000 you can withdraw at any Banelco or Link ATM.
Shop App
The operation is just as simple. The app is downloaded, the user registers for an account and discount points are earned by interacting in the favorite places. Finally, the points are exchanged for Gift cards of the brands used and can also be exchanged for money. Shop is a shopping destination app that is available to customers with iOS and Android devices. Customers can use the Shop app to track packages, browse and purchase products, and interact with your brand.
Kigüi
The user enters the application and sees the discounts for each category. For example, yogurts that expire in ten days have a 30% discount. Seeing that offer, one can look for that yogurt in the gondola, buy it and then have to take a photo of the ticket and another of the product with the expiration date. With that, a return of that money will be granted in the bank account within 72 hours.
The reimbursement percentage will depend on the consumption margin of the product that is about to expire. The shorter the useful life, the greater the discount, which will range from 60% to 20%.
Step by step, how Kigüi works
1- Enter the app where the discounts are by category and expiration date.
2- Buy the product at any store.
3- Photograph the product with its expiration date and the purchase receipt.
4- Enter the app and upload the photos.
5- In the next 72 business hours, Kigüi approves the refund and deposits it in the user’s account.
Of the around 16 million tons of food that are thrown away per year in Argentina, 25% is due to having expired in supermarkets. Kigüi has as a goal to reduce those 4 million, although the percentage has not yet been estimated and will depend on the reception that the project has in society.
