RetailMeNot

Shop with confidence and instantly save 10 percent, 20 percent or more with the RetailMeNot Coupons app. Whether you’re looking for a meal discount or wanting to know in-store offers while shopping, the app scours the internet for all of the best deals. Once you find a coupon that you want to use, have the clerk scan the coupon bar code. You can also bookmark your favorite stores and get notified when there are new deals, get reminders when coupons are about to expire, receive automatic alerts when deals are nearby and more. Available on iOS and Android. 

Shopkick

Finally, window shopping pays off. Even if you don’t purchase anything, Shopkick rewards you points for walking into retail stores like Target, Macy’s, Best Buy and more. Redeem your points for gift certificates at stores like Tiffany & Co., Redbox, Lowe’s and more. The app uses your location to show you which stores are participating. Available on iOS and Android.

Plan your shopping spree accordingly. Use ShopAdvisor to shop your favorite items at the right time by searching for products from retailers and scanning a barcode. The app will alert you when the price drops. It also gives you instant access to reviews and product pricing history. ShopAdvisor does the price research so you don’t have to. Available on iOS and Android.
