I do a lot of my Christmas shopping online and my friend told me about NerdWallet’s recommendations for the best free apps for Christmas shopping. Check them out below ...
Download ShopSavvy to get up-to-date news about the best deals going on. It also works as a barcode scanner to pull up prices on a product from multiple retailers. Add items you’re considering to a wish list, and the app will watch for low prices for you, too.
Price Cruncher, an app that helps customers do the math to see which offers are truly the better buys. This is especially helpful for shoppers who buy in bulk, as the application can calculate price per product (whether it’s more affordable per unit to buy a larger or smaller quantity).
The Coupons App promises to give users deals, coupons and online promo codes from over 100,000 retailers. The app also reminds you when saved coupons are about to expire, so you won’t miss the window of opportunity for a sale. And if you want to fill up your car before heading to the mall, it provides gas prices, too.
Santa’s Bag is the app that helps you when you have a lot of people on your list. It allows you to set and manage present budgets for everyone on your Christmas list. Track the days remaining until Christmas and see how much you’ve spent over or under the target budget.
