If you’re a shopping abuser and own an Android phone, consider yourself lucky, since there are so many Android apps that can give you with the opportunity to shop directly from your phone and save much money. Here are top five apps need to add to your Android phone so that you can save time and money on your next shopping.
eBay
eBay is the grand-daddy of selling material online. You’ll find people and full-blown stores offering obscure and mainstream items, a securely integrated payment platform (PayPal), and a proven karma system to provide both buyers and sellers with confidence. The mobile app can be fully-featured, including filters in search results for price, buying format, model, and brand. Selling from your phone is pretty easy too, with barcode scanning to identify your product, and integration while using native gallery to publish pictures.
Groupon
Groupon continues to offer really excellent local deals. Coupons offered from the service are either limited in quantity or time-frame, but the Android app helps you make the most of them as soon as they’re ready as a result of notifications. Groupon deals can be gifted to friends with ease, plus you can examine out the Groupons you’ve already cashed in on, and browse what’s new in each category.
Grocery IQ
This grocery shopping app (created by Coupons.com) takes grocery shopping to the next level. Make grocery lists, scan barcodes of items you frequently buy, sync and share your grocery lists with others (so you don’t double down on the same items as those you live with), and send coupons right to your loyalty card. Having a consistent grocery list for each store you shop at is a fail-safe way to keep your grocery expenses down.
Best Buy
Best Buy has the power to polarize people. Some people really love Best Buy and other people just don’t like it. Overall their app is above average and it has a relatively good selection. You can also do things like find locations and shop for stuff that would otherwise be out of stock in Best Buy stores near you. Around the holidays you can find some pretty decent sales and they do an okay job at bridging the gap between brick-and-mortar shopping and online shopping.
Zappos
Zappos is an online clothing and shoes store that boasts having the latest styles for men, women, and kids. They offer up some impressive features like free one-day shipping where available and a superior and simple shopping experience. You’ll find stuff from top clothing brands and it’s a lot easier to search for those kinds of things in an app like this than on a much larger site like Amazon.
