Should You Buy Now or Wait? These 4 Free Apps Help You Choose 1. Smoopa Smoopa allows you to make on-the-spot decisions about whether or not you should make a purchase. When you're in a store, you can pick up an item you'd like to buy, scan the barcode, and tell the app how much the store is asking for that item. The app will then tell you if the price is a good deal, or whether there's a better price option locally or online. If you aren't in a hurry to buy the product, you can click "Track" at the bottom of your screen, and the app will alert you when the item hits the price that you set. In cases when you scan an item at a local store, the app will ask you to enter the price and the name of the store, and you may be surprised to find that your store's name doesn't show up in the list of options that you can click. When I scanned the Spider-Man Blu-ray, I entered the price of the store and the app told me that it would be four cents cheaper online (see photo to the left). Smoopa is available for both Apple and Android.
