If you have ever researched electronics, you would know that iPhones would not be considered cheap. Costing between $200 and $500 an iPhone is obviously a luxury rather than a necessity; but if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford one, or make it a goal to save up for one, it can do so many incredible things, including things that can help you save money! Iphones and iPads have lots of great apps available, many of which you can download for free, that can give you rewards, coupons, shopping tips and many other helpful resources all at your fingertips! The following is a list of categories of some of my favorite apps for saving money.
Rewards Apps:
Rewards apps are quite possibly my favorite type of app! You basically can earn rewards points to put towards amazing prizes like gift cards to stores!
My favorite rewards app: Shopkick! You use it by earning "kickbucks" by doing things like checking into different store locations and scanning barcodes of products in those locations. As you accumulate kickbucks, you can then redeem them for prizes like giftcards to Best Buy, Target, American Eagle, Coach, and so much more! For more info about how the app works, visit http://www.shopkick.com/app.html
Another great rewards app: Killer Apps! This app is an app to promote other apps. When you download other recommended apps, you earn points towards an itunes gift card, and can eventually earn a $100 dollar gift card!
Gotta Love Stickybits! Another great app where you scan barcodes of products to earn points for fabulous prizes! Get more info at: http://www.stickybits.com/
Coupon Apps:
There are dozens of fab apps that organize links for coupons, but these are a couple of my faves!
Coupons.com is one of the best coupon websites, and its app organizes them all conveniently on your iPhone! What's not to love? http://www.coupons.com/
I also love http://www.couponsherpa.com/!
Free App Finders:
Want to discover more awesome free apps, but aren't sure where to begin? Hey, there's an app for that! :)
My favorite free app finder: AppFree! It updates daily with apps that have gone on sale or become free!
Another great one: App Miner.
Fashion & Shopping Apps:
There are some brilliant apps out there that are great tools for fashion and shopping. Some help you show off pics of your own personal style, and others show you where to find the best deals on great items, but one thing's for sure; you will find them deliciously addicting!
My favorite new app for showing off my outfits is Pose. You can take pics of your fab scores or great outfits and submit them for feedback by other viewers and even link them to Facebook and Twitter! Great for broadcasting your personal style!
A great outfit styling tool, i-style will have you ravaging your closet and snapping pics of every item, so you can compile your morning outfits before you ever crawl out of bed!
If you would love to create your own virtual outfits, models and runway shows, Runway is the app for you!
For all the fans of Lucky magazine and Lucky.com; yes they do have an app and it can help you score amazing deals!
Apps On The Go:
Out and about and suddenly find yourself looking for the cheapest gas price or the best hotel rates? Have we got apps for you!
GasBuddy is my favorite app for finding the best gas prices. It uses gps to instantly find the best deals in your area!
For finding great deals on all things travel related, you can't go wrong with The Kayak app! For its great online deals visit http://www.kayak.com/.
Barcode Scanners:
One type of app that can instantly help you save mone while shopping is an app that can scan barcodes of products and give you a list of prices, both online and in stores near you, so you can go with the most inexpensive one!
I LOVE Redlaser! Check it out on http://redlaser.com/
A teriffic app that takes things one step further: Goodguide! Not only can you compare prices, but you can find out the impact that product makes on the environment! Best shopping app EVER! For more info, visit http://www.goodguide.com/about/mobile.
