Have you ever been shopping and found yourself in a bind?  Prices are too high, nothing is in your style, and the shoes you came back to buy on sale are nowhere to be found?  This is the story of my shopping life.  Although I’d love to fix this problem with a personal shopper, I think I’ve found the next best thing.  

Here are my four favorite shopping apps that will take the stress, and hopefully a few extra dollars, off of your next shopping trip:

1) ShopSavvy

ShopSavvy is a mobile app that scans a product to find the lowest price online or at your local store.  The app also displays user reviews and shares your product list with friends.  ShopSavvy has had over 20 million downloads and 10 million users since its launch with over 50 million product scans a month.  Talk about a deal catcher! 

2) Shopular

Shopular is a mobile app that gives you the best coupons and sales you can redeem right from your phone.  The best part?  Shopular will send you notifications for sales as soon as you reach a shopping mall.  Shopular covers sales for 1000+ malls across the U.S., including many large outlet malls, and mobile coupons and ads are updated daily.  The app also includes weekly ads and sales for stores such as Macy's, Kohls, Lowe's, Walgreens, Cartwheel and JC Penney.  Watch out as this app may double the time you spend shopping because it makes saving so easy.

3) Shop Style

Have you ever walked into a store and found the perfect dress, but it’s not in your size?  ShopStyle will help you find and compare millions of products from your favorite brands, designers, retailers, and stores.  When you only want to browse, you can save your favorite items and add them to your wishlist.  ShopStyle will alert you when the price drops on your favorite items.  Never be disappointed again that your perfect dress is too expensive.

4) Honey

If you’re a diehard online shopper, Honey is your new best friend.  With one click, the Chrome app searches for coupon codes and automatically applies the discount to your checkout cart.  Honey works with over 100 stores searching and applying coupon codes.  It’s like having black Friday sales in an online app.  Once you use it, you’ll never be able to shop the same way again!

There are so many ways to save when you shop - you'll never have to pay full price again with these apps.  They’re a cooler and faster version of shoping with coupons.  Check them out the next time you go shopping at a store or onilne and let me know which app is your favorite!
