Shopping Together Using Whrrl

melissaIf your not familiar with Whrrl you are missing out.  Whrrl is a location based application where you can check in at different locations and let your friends know what you are doing. There are many location based application apps out there but Whrrl takes it one step further. You can upload photos and text to create a real time story or shopping experience. I have been using Whrrl for a while now and one of my favorite experiences with it was when I checked into Walmart one day, I was browsing the clearance isle and found some hot Fisher price Toys that were normally $15 marked down to $1. I quickly took my phone out and uploaded to Whrrl which sent photos to all my friends on Facebook and Twitter. About 10 to 15 mins later I cruised by the clearance isle for one more look and there was a lady standing there and I said ma’am did you happen to see these toys on sale? She looked up and said OMG your the ConsumerQueen. I just saw your Whrrl and I had to get to Walmart to check out the clearance before it was gone. I couldn’t believe my influence could happen so fast. I was actually bringing customers to the store.

I was recently given the opportunity along side my friend Rachel to go shopping with a gift card using Whrrl. Rachel and I headed to Walmart, I chose to hit the Clearance and she chose to hit the kitchen area. We were able to to recommend items we found in the store to each other. It made our shopping trip go faster with the limited time schedule we were on and I actually grabbed some neat kitchen items from my home that Rachel suggested. I grabbed a cute oil dispenser that I was going to use for a decorative dish soap dispenser for my new house. It was a cute idea and I never would have thought about using one of those for soap.
