Just nine months ago, Alexander Muse and Rylan Barnes launched "Shop Savvy" -- an application for smart phones.
"If you want to be more informed about the discussions you make when you're shopping, Shop Savvy could be a great application for you," Alexander Muse said.
Here's how it works. You use the camera on your phone to scan the barcode of whatever you're thinking about buying.
"When someone actually scans a barcode, we go search for the prices at that time," Rylan Barnes said.
Shop Savvy find the best prices on that item and then sends that information back to your phone so you know if you're getting a good deal.
"It finds the best prices on the internet and at nearby stores," Barnes said.
The newest version of Shop Savvy is faster and more accurate than the original. It can even tell you which store has the item.
The money saving app is free, which also helps increase its popularity.
Shop Savvy's app is available for android-powered mobile phones, but iPhone should have a version in mid-August.
