Participation price services allow you to purchase items at lower prices by using them when purchasing daily necessities. You can make reasonable purchases by using sale information or comparing shopping carts. However, this may not be helpful because there are few companies that provide prices and the products at the provided prices are limited. It will be helpful for those who usually use E-Mart, Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, Hyundai Department Store, Shinsegae Department Store, and convenience stores. And I think it would be a little more convenient if you know the product. Please use it when purchasing daily necessities.
