Woolies life-changing ‘scan and go’ feature that customers are loving

What if there was a way to track exactly what you buy and how much damage you’ve done before you get to the checkout of your local grocery store?

Well, there is and Woolies shoppers are loving it.

The supermarket giant has been slowly rolling out Scan & Go and so far it’s available in 49 stores across the country.

Sydney influencer Queenie Tan, who is known for sharing money saving tips on TikTok, recently discovered the feature on her Woolies app and has described it as “life changing”.

“You need to try this Woolies hack!” she said in a clip.

“Just open the Woolworths app and click on settings [then] Scan & Go.”

The 25-year-old shared footage shopping at her local store, telling viewers the feature allowed you to scan your items as you go and add them to your bag.

“You will see how much it will cost and how many items you have,” Queenie said. “I don’t have to be shocked at the counter anymore.

“When you’re done shopping you can head to the Scan & Go counter and the best part is there’s no line and your food is already in your shopping bags.”

Queenie made it clear it’s not available at every store, but as Woolies opens new stores and renews existing stores, Scan & Go will be considered part of the mix.

“Customers download the app on their phone and simply scan the product barcodes as they walk through the store if Scan & Go is offered at their local store.”

Queenie’s TikTok has amassed almost 1 million views with shoppers eager to give it a go.
