5 Useful Discount Finding Apps

If you have a smart phone, chances are you have downloaded an app meant to help save you money. With so many discount finding apps on the market it may be difficult to figure out which ones actually work. Most of the apps are free while some charge a minimal fee to download. Before you spend time and money on apps that don’t work, check out this list of useful discount finding apps.

Shopkick

This app has many different features to help customers save money and shop smart. This app has a rewards system that gives the customer points just for going to certain stores as well as points for purchasing certain items. In addition to the rewards system, the app also will show you where to get the items you want at the lowest possible price. Users of this app say they enjoy receiving rewards in addition to the discounts because it makes shopping more enjoyable.

Groupon Now

Like the website, this mobile app shows short-term discounts that are available in your area. Using this app you can find discounts on everything from restaurants to salons. Unlike other mobile apps, you purchase the product or service at the discounted rate and then redeem it when it is convenient for you. Groupon is available for Android and iPhone free of charge to customers.

Retail Me Not

This app takes couponing to a new level. It not only allows you to search available coupons by product or store but it will also alert you to deals in your area. Instead of printing hundreds of coupons, you can simply take your phone and show it to the cashier to redeem the discounts. One of the best features of this app is that it will alert you of deals as you shop. If you are walking around the mall, the app will alert you of special deals available at each individual store. You can save the coupons to use later or use them immediately.

RedLaser

This app will help customers compare prices as they shop. Before you purchase an item, you can check to see if it is available elsewhere for a lower price. You can simply scan the barcode or take a picture of the item and use the app to search the database of retailers to insure you are getting the best deal. This app will help you to avoid purchasing an item and finding it at a lower price elsewhere. There are many apps that allow you to check prices but, with RedLaser, you can also purchase the items directly from your mobile device and simply pick them up at the store of your choice. There is one feature that this app has that other price checking apps do not have which is an allergen checker. If you have a child or loved one with a food allergy, this app can help you avoid items that may cause a reaction.

CardStar

For customers who are looking to get great deals on everyday items, the reward card is a tempting idea. Consumers who shop at multiple stores can end up with hundreds of reward cards. The problem can occur when you leave home without the one card you need. To avoid this problem you can digitally store your cards into your mobile device. This will prevent you from being caught in a store without your reward card. In addition to storing your reward card information, this app will also search available discounts at the stores you frequently shop. This app is great for those who frequently forget their cards and mailed advertisements by putting them all at the tip of your finger for easy access.
