Shop & Scan

atlantis187

been doing shop and scan go years now and today I have just been invited to join Food on the go.


The have got me to install an app on my iPhone and i'm not too sure how to use it, Ive read a bit about this panel and it seems most people talk about just texting their purchases.


Is it beneficial to be on the panel?
How much items do u have to scan/text a week?
Can u keep scanning the same items each week to them? (as I don't do much buying during the week)?
How much can be made in a week in points?
Do you have to scan each day or just the total amount at end of the week?

I am on both and think food on the go is much easier I have to text any food that I have purchased while I am out and about throughout the day sandwich, drinks etc to a special free no with the bar code and quantity, they only want to know about certain things you purchase so it's only really worthwhile if you do it every day. You can earn up to about five pounds of points extra depending on the amount of barcodes you send a week so its better than shop and scan

Looks like I am going to have to give up shop and scan as just bought a new laptop and now I have just realised that Shop and Scan is not Mac compatible

Have you given it a try with the desk top app? https://www.shopandscan.com/html/desktopapp.htm

I've just received an invite to Food on the Go too, and the email invite says you record your purchases using a mobile phone app.

I see you do it via text message which would suit me better, so will I be offered that choice during the registration process?

Are there any other choices to make during registration I might want to think about in advance?

There are several Windows emulators for Macs.

I can't recommend any particular one, but here's a few options:

I do whatever I buy from a supermarket, like socks, small electrical appliances, same with "stuff" from Lidl, and just let them sort it out

but would draw the line at huge TV or 'fridge for instance
