The excitement and joy of being together with family and friends ramps up quickly in the weeks before Christmas. But unfortunately, holiday expenses add up quickly – like food for family gatherings, present-buying for the kids, and extra costs for holiday parties. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of the top five money-saving apps to help you find the best deals on the biggest shopping day of the year – Black Friday.
Slickdeals
Slickdeals is an online community dedicated to finding the best deals at the stores you love. Members share deals at different stores, the community can vote for the best deals. The app’s community have the ability to offer feedback on those deals. Slickdeals editors will even curate the front page with the deals that match your interest.
Mint
Though Mint is not a deal-finder app, it does come in handy when you’re on a tight budget. This budget app makes managing your money simpler. Its easy-to-use platform that updates in real-time, ensuring you don’t lose a penny in that budget of yours. This app comes highly recommended, and is a must-have when money is tight.
Flipp
Flipp helps you find great deals on everything from food, to clothes, to toys. ‘Clip out’ or select the coupons you want, take them to the store, and easily use them to save on your favorite products. Flipp also tracks the coupons you use. The app recommends new items for you every week based on what you like. Now Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a (turkey) leg.
Shopkick – Money back
What if there was an app that helped you earn money just by using it? Shopkick is a shopping app that rewards its users just by checking in. Just open the app in the store you’re standing in. By checking into your favorite stores, you’ll quickly gather points, which you can then redeem for “kicks”. Kicks = money. It’s just that easy.
