6 Apps to Help You Save When Shopping

If you’ve got a smartphone, it can definitely be the gateway to scoring deals and staying on top of shopping trends. Here are some free apps that you might want to download if you can!

Slice

This is an app, available for Android and iPhone, that you can sync with your Gmail or Yahoo account.

It scours your inbox for online orders and helps you keep track of shipping. Best of all, if Slice detects a price drop and the merchant offers adjustments — Kohls.com and Walmart.com do, for example — the app will send you an alert.

Decide.com

This app, for iPhone, Android and iPad, uses historical data to give you advice on whether you should jump on low prices now or wait for an imminet price drop or model upgrade.

Key Ring

This one is available on iPhone, Android, iPad and BlackBerry and is helpful for organizing your loyalty cards:

To score a discount these days, you often need to present a plastic loyalty card to prove you’re in the club. Forget carrying them around (or forgetting them), says Tim Chen of NerdWallet.com. Key Ring lets you store the info on your phone. Take a picture or enter the ID number, then flash your phone to save.
