"Scan, Bag and Go" Comes To Oro Valley

If you don't like waiting in line at the grocery store to checkout, if you don't like to "slide and scan" your groceries at self-checkout, if you prefer to do your own bagging, then the Fry's grocery store in Rooney Ranch has something for you.

It's called: "Scan, Bag and Go." and, believe us, it's the fastest way to get in and out of the grocery store. And by the way, did we also tell you that it's fun? Did we you tell you that you can save money doing it?

The "Scan, Bag and Go" concept is so
simple that we wonder why it wasn't done long ago.

Here's how it works.

You scan each item you put in your grocery cart and you put that item in your tote. Then, when you've completed your trip, you go to the self checkout area. There, you point the little device you've been using to scan your items at a bar code just above the self-checkout screen. You press the "scan" button and your scans are downloaded to the self checkout machine. The payment process is the same as always. That's it! Essentially, you are  using your idle time while shopping to check yourself out.

You can use the self checkout unit regardless of the number of items you purchased since you've already scanned everything in and bagged everything before you got there.

The first three times you use "Scan, Bag and Go" you get five dollars off each order of $35 more.

Yes. They pay you to play with a scan device.

Now that's hard to beat.
