What else does the Snappy Shopper app do?

Snappy Shopper claims to offer the lowest prices for delivery on the market for both retailers and consumers. It says that it is the go-to-choice for independent stores and shoppers alike with an average basket with Snappy Shopper saving customers approximately £6 per shop against its competitors.

Snappy Shopper says that it has grown a strong reputation for keeping its finger on the pulse when it comes to understanding the needs and concerns of the communities it serves.

The app highlights the success of its ‘1p bundles’ over the last year, offered at key times, aimed specifically at supporting families across Scotland, England and Wales.

One Snappy customer described a recent bundle as “So helpful for people struggling with the cost of living”. Another posted on Facebook: “Just had a delivery of the 1p bundle and other items. Came within 15 mins of ordering!! Top service and a bargain too!!!”

Snappy Shopper added that it and participating retailers will pick up the cost of the promotion, while Snappy Shopper is also investing in marketing to raise awareness and support local retailers.

What Snappy Shopper and shop owners say about the 1p Bundles in their own words

Mike Callachan, Snappy Shopper CEO said: “Local retailers and their communities have always been at the heart of everything we do at Snappy Shopper. As the cost-of-living crisis has escalated over the past few months, we’ve been committed to doing our utmost to lend that helping hand, alongside our retailers, to our customers who might be struggling to cope with rising costs.

“The responses to our recent 1p bundles have been unprecedented, which has prompted us to ensure our retailer’s local communities are provided for this holiday with our Half Term 1p Bundle”.

Danny Narang, Arlington Convenience Store: ‘My wife Raj and I have met some incredible people in our local community over the years and it’s hard to see so many people struggling at the moment, especially families. By offering the penny bundle this half term, we want to allow people to treat themselves and their loved ones for less, despite the challenging times we live in!’
