Mercadona already has more than 1,600 stores in Europe, according to its own data, and is one of the best-known supermarkets in the country. Like Carrefour, Día and Lidl, it has its own application for Android and has very relevant information if you usually do your shopping in this chain.
And normally this type of applications are ideal for being able to check information about the supermarket before going there, such as the price of a product that interests you. In this case, it is even possible to order from home, provided that it is available in the establishment.
These types of supermarket apps can be very useful. In this case, Mercadona does not have a loyalty card like some of its biggest competitors in Europe, but still it’s good to check the prices and current offers.
This is the app
The first thing you have to do as soon as you download the application is to enter the postal code, because this way the application will detect which establishment is closest. Also You will get information on whether home delivery orders are available, since they are not available in all of the company’s stores. If this is the case, you will be able to access a complete list with the available products and their respective prices. This is very useful, not only if you want to place an order, but simply to check the prices before going to the supermarket, because then you can decide whether to go to this one or another.
In the file of each product you can see the appearance of its box, as well as a photo of its label, in which comes with information about its nutritional information, preparation method and ingredients. The photos are of good resolution, more than enough to read everything clearly. This is a great addition, especially for allergy sufferers, who usually need to check this section before purchasing certain products. If a product has multiple labels, such as some bags of fruits and vegetables, all of them will be displayed.
The application is basically as follows. Products can be found in the categories section or on their main page, where recent price drops also appear at the supermarket or a selection with the most popular products of the moment. The only thing you can do in each person’s file is to see the price, add it to the order or remove it from it. It is also possible to share each of the elements in other applications.
One of the sections found in the bottom navigation bar takes you to a list of “Regulars.” These are products that have been ordered with a certain frequency on previous occasions and that the company will show here to save the user time with each order.
