Visit These Money-Saving Sites Before Making Your Next Purchase

These sites will help you do that, so be sure to visit them before spending a single dollar online or in person.

No matter how much money you have, this much is probably true: You want to save as much of it as possible. Thanks to the Internet, this goal is incredibly easy to achieve, and these sites make it simple:

SnipSnap

How many times have you gone to a store, excited about a deal you just saw, only to realize that you forgot your coupons at home? It’s quite a common occurrence, but you can overcome it with the SnipSnap app.

The app lets you take pictures of your paper coupons, so you always have them nearby, provided you bring your phone along for the ride. This ensures you never forget a coupon at home, but you can also use the app to find even more coupons for your shopping trips.

As the app says on its website, SnipSnap puts “thousands of offers in your pocket,” making it super simple to start saving.

Flipp

Have you spent several Sundays in your past clipping coupons from the local newspaper? You probably have, and while that’s a popular way to save, there’s no need to be so “old fashioned” about it anymore.

With Flipp, you can see those weekly circulars on your computer, phone, or tablet. You can clip coupons digitally, save them, and even make a shopping list, so you don’t forget anything.

While the coupon-clipping feature is certainly helpful, being able to make a shopping list within the app can help you save too. How? By preventing costly impulse purchases, as long as you pledge to stick to your list.

Coupon Sherpa

Finding paper coupons before heading out to a brick and mortar store can be quite time-consuming. With Coupon Sherpa, you don’t need a newspaper to get those savings, as the app lets you search for in-store coupons and deals right from your electronic device of choice.

This search feature can save you a ton of time, and when it’s time to purchase in a store, you can simply scan your phone to get those savings with no paper coupons necessary. If, for some reason, you do love those paper coupons, though, Coupon Sherpa has a printable feature too.

Wikibuy

This popular app now goes by the name of Capital One Shopping, but it still has the same features that made it such a hit.

Whenever you shop on Amazon, the app will comparison shop to ensure you’re getting the best deal. This is essential for saving since many people automatically assume that Amazon is the cheapest, when that’s not always the case.

Fetch Rewards

Hitting stores during sales and using coupons aren’t the only ways to save money when shopping, as rewards can work wonders too.

Fetch Rewards is an app that lets you scan your grocery receipts to earn points. Get enough points, and you can use them to buy gift cards.
