Watch: New Woolworths ‘scan at home’ technology

A new video has explained how the feature can save you time and money.

Woolworths supermarket has unveiled a new feature on its app that just may change the way you shop for groceries.

Sharing on TikTok, the retail giant has explained how you can easily compile a shopping list using “scan at home” technology.

Instead of writing out a list by hand or typing out on your device, you can simply use your phone to scan the barcodes of your favourite foods and compile them into a single list.

The app will also tell you which aisle you can collect the saved item from when you head into a Woolworths store.

  3. Scan the barcode of the grocery item you’d like to add to your shopping list
  4. Then click on ‘Add to list’

The feature has been given the tick of approval by Woolworths fans.

“Love how it shows [you] which aisle to go to as well,” said one TikTok user.

Added another: “I didn’t know, that makes me want to go to Woolies just to use that feature.”

Wrote one more: “Pro tip: Find a random item in store that’s in the wrong place? You want it but don’t know the price? Barcode scanner to the rescue!”

Once you’ve scanned the item’s barcode, just click ‘add to list’ to save it to your shopping list.
