This past Saturday, October 12, was National Savings Day. Even though this holiday is just one day out of 365, saving is a great habit to develop year-round. Check out these tech apps that help you save and phones that won’t break the bank.
Mint
This free tech app makes money management simple and brings it right to your fingertips. It shows your bank account, credit cards, bills, and investments so you can see exactly what you’re spending. Mint also shows you where you could be saving money and notifies you when you’re spending a bit too much. Plus, it lets you see your free credit score and has fraud and identity alerts.
Honey
Honey is a Google Chrome plugin that makes sure you’ll never have to search for online promo codes and coupons again! Whenever you shop online and are about to checkout, click on the plugin and Honey will automatically search and apply coupon codes to save you money. There’s extra features on Amazon that show you the price history to help you find out the best time to buy.
Reward Program Apps
So many restaurants and big retail stores are developing tech apps with their own rewards program. Pretty much every fast-casual restaurant I regular has one: Noodles & Company, Chipotle, Jimmy Johns, Smoothie King, etc. These tech apps give you exclusive deals on the things you’re already buying and help you save up points as you shop to gain even bigger rewards.

Part of the newest generation of iPhone and at a price your wallet will love. The iPhone 11 starts at just $699 without any extra promotions or trade-ins. New additions to this phone are the ultra-wide angle lens, Night Mode, enhanced video editing features, and brand new colors.
Google Pixel 3a
