Recently, at the advice of my doctor, I went shopping for Vitamin D at a local store. I expected the price to be less than $10 for a 300-count bottle because that’s approximately what I remember paying the last time I picked some up (not too long ago, I might add). So imagine my surprise when I saw the price for the same brand had been hiked almost double! It was listed at $17.99, no joke.

Instead of making the purchase, I decided to whip out my handy dandy iPhone app called Red Laser. Within a few seconds, I scanned the bar code of the item and found out that the VERY SAME brand in a 300-count bottle was being sold at Target for, get this, $8.99! And if I wanted to get 3 bottles in one order, a special was offering the third one for only $1. We’re talking $18.98 for all 3 bottles! Needless to say, I got back in my car and drove over to Target where I saved myself about $35.

I hope after reading this tip that others will be prompted to take advantage of the FREE app Red Laser and save a few bucks on their next purchase.
