Digit is my new favorite app! If you’ve ever struggled saving money, this is the app that you need. Digit learns about your banking and automatically moves money into a savings account for you.

I absolutely love this app. If you’re wondering if it’s right for you, here’s a great video on how it works.
Get started and watch your pocket change add up!
Gasbuddy
Find the cheapest gas close to you. It might only be a few cents/gallon, but that really adds up over time. This is super helpful when you’re on a road trip and need gas, but all of the places near the highway charge $.50 more than the place down the road.
Cardstar
If you’re sick of carrying around 1,000 rewards cards, library cards, and even your gym membership cards, then this is for you. Another bonus is that this app will automatically show you any coupons of bonuses available just for your form your cards.
Savings Catcher
This one does all of the ad matching so you don’t have to at Walmart. It matches your receipt to all of your local stores and then gives you back the difference if they find it for less somewhere else. You can transfer your money to a gift card to be used in store or online at Walmart!
Cartwheel
If you shop at Target, you should get the Cartwheel app. It will show you coupons that are exclusively available on the app that will save you money on every purchase. Some of the coupons are for 25% off or more!
SnipSnap
Just take a picture of the barcode for the item that you want to buy and the app will search for coupons for that item. No need to clip the coupons for it.
RetailMeNot
Whether it’s a 25% off coupon or a free appetizer at dinner, they’ve got it on the RetailMeNot app. Especially for clothes stores and restaurants, RetailMeNot has been extremely helpful. They list all of the ways that the internet knows to save money on an item or at a store. Some of the coupons won’t work, but there are still some that work perfectly and will save you serious cash.
Bonus: this is a great site to use when you’re doing online shopping and need to check for coupon codes.
Checkout 51
This is similar to Ibotta. You take a picture of your receipt and the available cashback codes are applied.
MobiSave
This is much like the others. It will work with others as a “stack”, so you can use it and Savingstar, and Ibotta, and Checkout51, etc.! This makes for even MORE FREE items and overage! You can shop at any store you like, upload your receipt, and request your money. There is no minimum with this one, you can request any amount of money you have in your account at anytime and it will be added to your Paypal account within 24 hours! This one is good for iOS and Android users.
Shopmium
Again, this one will work with Ibotta and Checkout 51. When you purchase one of their offers, just upload your receipt and they will deposit the money directly in your Paypal account!
Receipt Hog
This one is actually amazing. Receipts to almost anywhere earn you money. It’s as simple as just take pictures of your grocery receipts, upload to Receipt Hog, and they’ll pay you. It’s that simple. And if you submit receipts regularly, you can earn spins at the “Hog Slots” slot machine, where you can win more money or even have your entire shopping trip paid for! It’s fun, easy, and free.
BerryCart
If you’re sick of coupons that are only for junk food, BerryCart is the app for you. BerryCart is a cash-back app that gives you money back when you buy healthy foods that are organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, and more.
Shooger
Before you go to a restaurant, find entertainment for date night, or buy anything at a retail store, check Shooger. You’ll find coupons almost anywhere you go!
ValPak
Do you remember getting those giant blue packets in the mail for local coupons and offers? Valpak has come into the 21st century and now has an app with all of the same amazing coupons, offers, and more.
Favado
Favado is great for making your grocery list so that you’ll know where to get the best deals and coupons. You can check your local stores’ coupon matchups, make your list on your phone, then email it to yourself to print the coupons!
You can search for the best price on anything at your local grocery stores. When I need something like eggs, I can search for the best deal on eggs from stores in my area and then ad-match that price at Walmart! How easy is that?!
Barcode Scanner
This is handy! First of all, you can use it to scan in all your cards for the app above. You can scan products in the store and get more info on them and even pricing at other stores! A lot of places now have QR codes which are black and white squares with a lot of small boxes in them that a barcode scanner can read and automatically take you to a specific website embedded in the QR code!
It is possible to save money without spending all day clipping coupons. These are all apps that I use to help me save money in my everyday life. So what are you waiting for?! Start saving serious money today!
Great List! I already use a few of these, but I wasn’t familiar with some others! I am pinning this for later and thank you again!
