Money Saving Monday

I have been on vacation for the past week. I do not like to let people know I am on vacation. I was going to try to post, but we had such a great time in Arizona. We stayed in Flagstaff and did day trips to the Grand Cayon, Sunset volcano crater, Meteor Crater, SnowBowl, Painted Dessert and many Indian ruins in the area. We had a great time and are readjusting to the time change and catching up on some rest.

Do you have a smart phone? Do you love to coupon? Did you know there is an app for that? Here are several aps I use on my iPhone for coupons.


Kroger has an app where you can load coupons on to your Kroger card for ecoupons you can redeem when you use your card at the store. You can load them or remove them before you go shopping. I usually check this before my trip.

Cellfire is another great app where you can load coupons to your grocery savings card through your cellfire account. Sometimes Cellfire will have a coupon off your next shopping order. Be sure to check back often.

There is also an app called shopsavvy where you can scan the barcode of an item using your phone. It will find the item and list all the places and prices where you can purchase the item. This is not as effective for small items, this is great for large purchases like TVs and other appliances. You will still need to do some research on things such as shipping and handling costs, and how quickly the item will ship.

Now Saving Star has added an app for your phone. I have recently downloaded this and have started using it.  This will let you store coupons on your savings cards and then as  you use them you are able to redeem gift cards from them. I have not used enough for a gift card yet. If you have please leave a comment on how easy or difficult it was to redeem.

Those are the ones I use the most. I love the fact you can review them while you are shopping and add or remove as needed. Do you have any other apps you like to use?

  1. I love it - someone else has been to Meteor Crater! My friend and I went there after we ran a marathon which was fine until we saw all the stairs we had to walk up. We were in so much pain! Found you through the Monday Madness Blog Hop!

  2. Thanks East 9th Street. I thought it was a bit expensive to get in, but it was a nice museum. The only other way I am going to see a crater like that is if I go to the moon. I just don't think that is going to happen any time soon.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my page, coming by to follow you. Hopefully someday I can get a smartphone, eager to try out apps. The stores in my area don't do cellfire or ecoupons, yet.

  13. That's too bad you don't have those cards. I need to use the Shop Savvy one more. We drove to the Grand Canyon when I was younger. It was great.
