I wouldn’t necessarily say you can get rich using these steps, but it’s certainly a good step. Not bad info.
From someone who has used ShopSavvy, however, I gotta say it doesn’t work that well. I tried scanning multiple items (common things like milk), and it never worked. Maybe they’ve updated since, but this was back in the spring of this year.
