How To Save Money With Your Smart Phone
Full disclosure: I don’t have a smartphone. Not yet anyway. Hey, I’ve been called many things, but an early adopter was never one of them.
I do however have an iPod, and it can do almost any job an iPhone can do, especially now that some stores have free storewide WiFi.
And it’s amazing how much money you can save with just a few apps!
How To save Money With Your Smart Phone
Price Match
How it works: Scan UPC product barcodes, QR Codes, Data Matrix or search for products to quickly find the lowest prices.
How it works: Amazon use to have a specific app just for price checking, but now it’s included in their full app.
This app is an all in one Amazon tool, but what’s important is that you can scan a barcode with your phone while you’re out shopping, to quickly decide whether you’d be money ahead to buy in store, or order through Amazon.
