Shopper Discounts and Rewards: the best apps for shopping on a budget
With shopping increasingly taking place online, consumers are always looking for new ways to shop on a budget and get more for their money. With the number of great apps available, smartphone owners can ‘shop until they drop’ without breaking the bank. Here are the five best bargain-hunting apps for our tech-savvy readers as reviewed on Mintlife.com.
Top Five Apps for Saving Cash
- Groupon – offering its members luxury at an affordable price with daily deals at local shops, restaurants, gyms and spas. The website has a wide, varied and ever-changing selection of customised offers which are sent directly to your phone.
- Price Check by Amazon – recognising that time is money for the online shopper. Rather than forcing you to visit endless shops and websites, this app returns all results from online and high-street shops to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal. The perfect app for those looking for low prices and peace of mind.
- Gilt on the Go – a stylish app featuring daily sales on designer clothing, home furnishings and artisan foods. The sale alerts are sent directly to your phone, and highlight future sales too so you can plan your purchases.
- Red Laser – while similar to Price Check, this app will also find the nearest store to you that sells the item you search for. You scan a bar code with the app on your Android phone or iPhone, then it brings up stores that sell the item and the prices. This app also allows you to scan your loyalty cards for each store and keep them on your phone.
- eBay – allows you to log in from your phone to bid on the wide range of items available. From books to furniture, eBay provides a low-cost alternative to shopping in stores.
Whether you’re looking for books, clothes or a spa day, do keep an eye out for the most efficient apps to help identify those deals.
