In Paris, at the premises of another discount app, this one offers discounts ranging from 30 % to 100%. A promise of savings that is attracting more and more French people in the midst of soaring prices. In Lyon (Rhone)a female student can afford a full basket of unsold products for only six euros. “I had coffee, capsules as well. It still saves us a lot of money, especially at the end of the month”she says.
