A LIST OF WAYS TO SAVE MONEY SHOPPING

My friend Jamila always to seems to find the best bargains and deals when it comes to shopping, she is a savings Queen! Typically she uses savvy apps to nab deals on clothing, food items, furniture and more. Here are just a few of my favorite ways to save money shopping. I hope that you find these tips helpful.

1. Retail Me Not 

Retail Me Not is one of my favorite shopping apps. You can search your favorite stores for fantastic savings. Spend less, shop more is the motto of this company. You'll be asked to enable deals near your location. You will get the option to view coupons online or in store, and you can save and even share these deals with friends and family! This app even sends you alerts when a great deal comes up in your area, and gives you information on the rules and restrictions that go along with them. I often use it when I am shopping at H&M. I got a great deal on a blazer, 50% off because I knew about the coupon and showed it to the cashier. 

 2. Wrapp 

Wrapp is the gift that keeps on giving! Not only do you save big but your friends do as well. One day to my surprise Jamila sent me an email through the application. Wrapp provided me with a $6 dollar coupon to use at my favorite store, H&M! Wrapp uses your location to find deals in your area. Top brands include H&M, Sephora, Timberland, SpaFinder and more! Select the brands to find deals you can use and also gift deals to your friends as well. The site also sends Birthday reminders and you can send your friends special deals. 

 3. Cartwheel

Cartwheel puts a spin on shopping! This app designed by Target offers amazing savings in various areas of the store. Select "browse" and scan through categories such as entertainment, furniture, grocery, home and more to find discounts that range from 5% to 50% off! Select all of your deals and when you are done, click "my cartwheel" to reveal your coupon code. Show the cashier the barcode to scan and all of the coupons you selected will apply to the goods you purchased. How cool is that? You can even earn more savings by gaining badges.
