Red Laser Shopping Ap



I downloaded this AP from Google play for free.  It allows you to scan bar codes when you are shopping at a brick and mortar store and compare the price to on-line resellers.   It doesn’t provide an all encompassing list of folks selling the same product.  For example I scanned four test bar codes and it did not list Amazon once as selling the products even though I bought all four products from Amazon.   Curious.

Regardless of possible bias, the AP gives you a good ball park figure allowing you to compare prices.   Home Depot, as an example, will match the price of an item if you show them the same item at a better price.   I did this just recently and showed them a better price by $3.00 on an item on sale at Lowes.   They matched the price.   So as much as retailers may dislike this AP it certainly deserves to be mentioned here at Money Saving Tech Tips. 

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
