Top Shopping Apps for your Smart Phone

As a member of VZWBuzz I am asked to share information and education in regards to using technology day to day!

Top Shopping Apps for your Smart Phone

I have been asked what my favorite apps are and which are the best top shopping apps. Obviously, for me they are going to be the apps that save me money and are easy to use while I am on the go. I don’t have tons of time to pre-plan some of my shopping trips. If I am out and about, I want to be able to open up my apps and find any mobile coupons that are available for me to use, find the sales, and see if I have any FREE money to use at the stores from the gift cards I have earned and received as gifts!

As a Verizon Ambassador, I feel it is important to keep families saving money and using their technology in the best possible way! So check out MY favorite shopping apps that I use!

When it comes to using my phone to help me save money there are tons of apps out there and it can really be overwhelming! I have done several posts and one of my favorites is how my Smart Phone pays for my Christmas shopping. That previous app list is more on how your smart phone can earn you money and not save you money. So I decided since I have been using several other apps while shopping to help actually SAVE me money that it is ONLY fair that I share them all with you!

TOP Shopping Apps That I LOVE!

flipp-large

The first one is FLIPP. The flipp app is my favorite shopping apps because I can search through circulars and find the best deals WHILE I am at the store shopping or even before I leave. It doesn’t matter if I am coupon shopping or just shopping at my local J.C. Penny! So you open up the app, click on the circular and then select any of the deal you like. Instead of a list you can actually SEE the add and it will clip those sales for you!

The next shopping app is from RetailMeNot.com! I like this app because I have been able to find mobile coupons! For instance, if I am at Children’s Place shopping for clothes they often have a 15-30% off coupon register code floating around. If you are able to pull up the sale on your phone you will get the sale! Same thing for eating out, you can often find sales that way too and even free appetizers or desserts!

Go-Wallet-Screenshots

The next shopping app in which I LOVE using is Go Wallet! Go Wallet is an interesting app and I know that there are some similar apps out there in which do similar things but this is one I have been using for several years. If you get gift cards as gifts, rewards, or just to buy for yourself, you can keep all of your gift card numbers and balances in the app. It will give you a gift card balance for each store. That way you will never forget about any gift cards. All those small balances add up for great savings! Plus when holiday shopping comes around, you can try to make your list to shop at the stores in which you have balances. What I do is I keep a small coin purse with all of my apps and then I have an inventory on my Go Wallet app!

    I am going to check out FLIPP. I Had never heard of it before, but it sounds like it’s a great app to have!

  5. Treats by Tanya says

    Retail Me Not has come in handy so many times when I’m looking for a coupon! I should have kept a chart of all the times I’ve been able to apply it for some serious savings. Having it as an app on my phone, is very convenient! 😀

  6. Sandy KS says

    How do you use those apps for the coupons? Do they scan right off your phone? I am wanting to use them but not sure how to do it.

  7. Bonnie @ wemake7 says

    I am definitely going to check out the apps for kiddos. Thanks so much for sharing this.

  10. Laura Hinckley says

    These are such great ideas. Saving money with my phone is so easy and wonderful. In a day when we can’t spend the time instant on our phones is exactly what a great app does. Thank you for sharing and helping me stay frugal.

  12. Alli says

    I don’t clip coupons so I rely on my smart phone. I need to check out the apps you mentioned. I love being able to pull up a coupon on my phone.

  13. Joanne T Ferguson says

    I must be a dinosaur as I don’t even have my phone connected to the internet, true! I do know about apps and seems you have highlighted some interesting ones!

  15. michele d says

    I’ve never shopped using my smart phone before. I’ve temped to do it but I just don’t feel secure about it. Sounds like a great app for those who do.

  16. Heather @mommyonlyhas2hands says

    What a great app!! I’ve never tried it, that is looks very helpful to save time. I’m gonna try it now thank you for sharing.

    I love how there is so many apps these days. I think my wife would love the Flipp app. Will have to tell her about it.

  20. Lynndee says

    I haven’t heard of Flipp until now.. I’m always on the lookout for great deals. I’ll definitely check the app out. I’m going to check the money making apps too! 🙂

    I love using Apps to save money shopping. I use the Flipp app and i love it. I love that i can search for an item and all the places that have it on sale pop up.

  25. Kelly Hutchinson says

    I use several shopping apps, but mainly for the coupons like Retail Me Not or Coupons.com. I have not heard about Flipp and I am going to give it a try.

  26. Rosey says

    That does sound like an interesting app. I’ve seen the name, but I didn’t know much about it until now.

  29. Alysia from My Domestic Dish says

    Ooooh, I had heard of Flipp and RetailMeNot before but this GoWallet is a new one! Thanks for bringing it to light…I’m going to have to check that out and see if it’s got any features I would find useful. I know so many ladies who are hooked on Flipp.

  31. susan says

    I love shopping, it is something I am very good at … lol… But I have no shopping apps, and this seems like it is something I sure could use.

  33. Danielle K says

    Thanks for sharing these. I’ve heard really good things about the Flipp app and I always love saving money.

  34. Tammi says

    I just started using RetailMeNot and I absolutely love it! I’ve saved a ton using that one but I need to get into the habit of checking it more often than I do.

  35. Layne says

    I hear all my friends talk about the flipp app, I guess it’s time I look into it. Great suggestions!
