The app that shows you exactly where to find bargain nappies, wipes, milk and more…

BabyDoc is a free app that does the bargain-hunting for you

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Did you know that a newborn baby can go through nine nappies a day at a cost of around 21c each? And that’s before you even begin to think about starting a college fund.

Luckily there’s a savvy bunch of tech nerds on the case and they’ve come up with the BabyDoc, a free app that brings supermarket special offers on baby products directly into the hands of shoppers via their smartphone.

Special offers are separated into seven different product categories: nappies, wipes, food, milk, drinks, toiletries and accessories and the app is updated 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure the special offers included are always up to date. All the major supermarkets are represented with more coming on stream in the coming weeks so you can search for deals closest to your location and compare them with stores in other areas.

The BabyDoc is developed and released by Dublin-based company MyDealDoc. To download it for free, search for BabyDoc on Android at Google Play and in the App Store for iPhone. Follow @BabyDocapp on Twitter for updates.

Here’s how it works:
