Shopping Phone Apps

One of the beautiful things about smart phones is that they can make life easier, and help you save money if you have the right applications and put the app to use. The following are some great shopping phone apps to help you find the best products, best deals, and manage your money better:

Coupon Sherpa:
Coupons can certainly help you save money when shopping, but the time it takes to find a coupon can be a real pain. This shopping phone app eliminates your need to spend time looking, and does it for you. Basically it is an iPhone app full of coupons. This application searches the internet for coupons and brings them to you. The beauty of this app is that you can customize it to your preferences. For example, put in the names of your favorite stores, products, etc. You can scan in coupons you have so that you never forget about one, and you can even email coupons you find to friends through this application. This is a free application that will help you save.

Yowza:
This is another free coupon application. Like Coupon Sherpa above, this application helps you gather coupons for your favorite stores and products so that you can save money when shopping.

ShopSavvy:
This is an app that will help you be a savvier shopper by allowing you to scan the barcode of any item you are considering buying, and then it will look it up and see if you can buy it for less somewhere else. Because many stores will price match, this is an excellent tool. In addition to price comparisons, this application allows you to create a wish list, and a price point list. Thus, when the items on your list are on sale for the price you are willing to pay, the app will alert you so that you can buy items you are wanting when they cost less.

Shopper:
This is a great shopping phone app for grocery tore shopping. This app allows you to create a list of items you want to buy, and helps you stick to it, that way you do not overspend on items you don’t need. In addition, it can help you create price and quantity lists. It will calculate sales tax, track coupons, and more. You can input prices on what you paid for certain items, so that you do not overpay, and over buy in the future. You can create a list of what you bought the time before (quantity wise), so you know if you should buy more or less. It is a great application to help you save money and only costs a couple bucks.

Checkbook:
This is a great application that basically helps you balance your checkbook on the go. Anytime you shop, you just input the place and the amount, and it lets you know how much money you have left to spend. You have to input all deposits and debits for it to work properly, but it is a nice, quick look at your bank balance when shopping.
