Smartphone Apps for the Savvy Shopper

The savvy shopper always needs a few tricks up their sleeves when shopping for the perfect gifts this holiday season.  There are a ton of amazing apps ready to download right on your smartphone that will keep you organized this holiday season and will find you the best deals on everything from a new luxe watch to a soft sweater.

1. Bar Code Scanner: This app lets you scan the barcode of any product so you can compare prices and find if there is a better deal anywhere else.

2. Shopkick: This makes shopping fun by turning your shopping into real-world rewards. The app shows you a list of nearby stores, each of which you get a certain number of “kicks,” or points for visiting that translate into coupons or gift cards. You can also link your Visa debit or credit card to your ShopKick account so you’ll automatically get points for certain purchases, which could possibly be dangerous, but hey it is the season for giving

3. Google Shopper: One of the most comprehensive and versatile shopping app on the market, providing multitude of options for launching and browsing price comparisons. You can speak product names into the phone, scan barcodes or if the item is a form of media, scan the cover art. Once searched, Google Shopper delivers online prices, reviews and product specs.
