Save smarter. Shop with confidence. SaveCart is your all-in-one shopping list and discount calculator — built for real stores where tags, percentages, and “special offers” are everywhere, but the real price isn’t always clear. Whether you’re stocking up at the supermarket, browsing sales at your favorite shop, or planning a big shopping trip, SaveCart helps you stay organized, see what you’ll actually pay, and track how much you’re saving — before and during your visit. Instant discount math Add any item with its regular price and discount percentage. SaveCart calculates the final price and your savings automatically — no mental math, no guesswork. See your totals at a glance Watch your cart total update in real time. See how much you’re spending, how much you’re saving, and what the full price would have been — all in one clear summary. Multiple shopping lists Create separate lists for different stores, trips, or occasions. Switch between them instantly and keep every shopping plan organized. Start from scratch or pick a ready-made template — weekly shopping, fruits & vegetables, cleaning supplies, baby, birthday, BBQ, party, camping, and more. Budget per list Set a budget for each list and track how much you have left — or how far over budget you’ve gone. Shop with a plan, not surprises. Smart product entry As you type, SaveCart suggests products from your history and built-in grocery lists in your language. Categories are assigned automatically based on the product name — or choose your own. View your list flat or grouped by category. Share & import lists Share one or more lists as a QR code or file. The other person scans the QR inside SaveCart or opens a shared file — and the list imports automatically. Powered by StickCode: your list is compressed to fit more items in a single QR code and encrypted for privacy before sharing. Built for real shopping • Add quantities for each item • Mark products as purchased as you shop • Organize items with custom categories — or let SaveCart assign them for you • Search your list quickly in the store • Swipe to delete with undo — mistakes happen Designed for everyone A clean, intuitive interface that’s easy to use even if you’re not tech-savvy.
