1. The Coupons App
itunes.apple.com
play.google.com
This is one of my favorite apps to help you save money because it offers coupons for almost any store. It compiles all the coupons currently in effect and lists them. You can find coupons for Dunkin Donuts, Target and even Lowe's. Just scroll down the list every once in awhile or before you go shopping and see if you can use any of the coupons! If so, you can email them to yourself and print them out or share them on any social network. Most of the time, if you click on a coupon, it’ll launch your internet browser.
2. Shop Savvy
itunes.apple.com
play.google.com

I really like this app as well. You scan any barcode. For example, take your favorite face scrub and scan the barcode. This app will search for the best deal out there. How cool is that? Plus, you can use this app anywhere. I like to use it before I leave the house, but if I find an item that I’m debating on buying in the store, this app comes in handy with comparing prices.
