Shopping apps that enable you to compare prices are helpful, and apps that save you money instantly, with coupons listed right on your smart phone, are even better. There is no need to send the coupon to your email to print out a hard copy. Just walk into the listed store and show the coupon image from your smart phone to the cashier. You'll save money as they scan and verify the code.
One of the best apps for these instant coupons is called GeoQpons. An easy to use shopping app, GeoQpons lists coupons and deals alphabetically by brand or store. With the touch of a button you can break it down into categories, including fashion, sports, dining, auto, furnishings, and more. For example, on the day I checked my GeoQpons, Macy's advertised $10 off any purchase of $25.00. Abercrombie and Fitch offered a discount of 25% off an entire purchase with no restrictions. When shopping in Lamorinda, use the local option feature listing current coupons for local merchants. Hair by Andrea in Lafayette publicized $10 off a child's haircut and Diablo Smog Test in Lafayette offered $30 off smog tests.
By using GeoQpons, you'll stretch your budget with those additional back-to-school necessities as well as your upcoming holiday shopping list. If you love to shop and save dollars, yet hate to clip coupons, this is a "must have" app.
