## What is Give It A Scan?

Give It A Scan is a subscription app — an auto-renewing subscription (with a free trial) is required to use it.

Stop guessing what your grocery shop will cost. Give It A Scan keeps a live running total as you shop — across Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and IGA — using the real shelf price you scan in-store, not an online price that might be wrong.

Set a budget, give yourself an impulse allowance, and the app warns you the moment you go over — before you reach the register, not after.

What your subscription unlocks:
• Live running total as you scan — works across any store
• Real in-store shelf price capture (not online prices that don't match)
• Set a budget + impulse allowance, with an instant over-budget alert
• Multibuy specials applied automatically ("2 for $5" done for you)
• Overcharge detection — catch when an item scans higher than its shelf ticket
• Fast on-device scanning that works even when in-store signal is terrible

Shop anywhere. Spend less. Never get surprised at the checkout.
