Get The Best Holiday Deals By Downloading These Shopping Apps

If you’re strapped for holiday cash due to COVID-19, these apps can help you save whatever money you have.

You have a couple of options this holiday season. First, you could sit it out like many people are choosing to do since COVID-19 ruined their year, and tell your friends and family that your finances don’t allow for any gifts, parties, etc. Or, you could participate and make some purchases, but do so by saving as much money as possible in mind.

Thanks to the Internet, shopping for the best price is now easier than ever. You don’t have to go from store to store to pinpoint the best deal, as easy-to-use apps will do all of the work for you. Here are some of the best shopping apps that will compare prices, so you don’t pay a penny more than you should.

Amazon – Android, iOS

The coronavirus pandemic may have shifted your shopping habits online so you can safely social distance at home. What’s one of the most popular online shopping sites? Amazon.com, and it has an app to help you check prices with ease.

When you have the Amazon app on your smartphone and see an item in a store that interests you, use its barcode scanner to check the price. It’ll show you the item on Amazon, so you can see where the best deal is and decide to buy it in-store or on the website.

The app is also helpful in showing reviews, so you can see if the item is worth your hard-earned money and buy it with confidence.

Shopbrain – Android, iOS

Like the Amazon app, Shopbrain has a built-in barcode scanner to use when shopping to compare prices. Scanning a barcode will instantly show you where that item is being sold, and at what price.

Shopbrain also has a feature that showcases daily deals that might catch your attention.

ShopSavvy – Android, iOS

Do you want to know when major stores are having sales? Are you interested in seeing how much an item is online and at competitors? Use ShopSavvy, and you’ll get all of that information with ease.

Mycartsavings – Android, iOS

Here’s an app that offers a bit of a different benefit from those above. With Mycartsavings, you can track the price of a product and receive email alerts. This is perfect if you want something, but are only willing to pay a certain amount for it.

When the product’s price dips below your expected price, you’ll be notified via email so you can snag it at that desired discount.

Yroo – Android, iOS

Like most of the apps on this list, Yroo has a barcode scanner for instant price comparisons while you’re shopping. It also has daily deals from places like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and eBay.

BuyVia – Android, iOS

This trusty app has several features that make it worth downloading, especially if you’re looking to buy electronics. First, you can use its barcode scanner to find the lowest price for a product when you’re out and about. Second, you can see product reviews before deciding to buy. Third, you can set up alerts to see when something goes on sale. Lastly, you can see daily deals from top retailers.
