Using Smartphone and Tablets To Save Money

Recently I've been researching ways to save money shopping online, in stores, and how to find the best rebate offers available. This is so important, because we all need a way to save money. One of the best ways that I love to earn a little extra cash is with my smartphone and tablet. There are so many money saving apps available to download and use on your devices. Here are some great tips for you to save money, find rebates, and get cash back when you shop for food.

• ISecretShop - Mobile Secret Shopping: This is an app you can use on your iOS or Android device. You just download this from the App Store or on Google Play. Install the app and fill out your information. You can become a Mystery Shopper and earn cash rewards. Just look inside the app and find a restaurant, business or even retail shop in your area that has an assignment. Take the assignment and complete the assignment according to the details. If you need to order food the app will pay you for the food, your time, and any other out of pocket expenses you have invested to do this task.

  I personally love this app and have earned quite a bit of money using it. Furthermore, you can eat for free in some fantastic restaurants. If you need to make a purchase at a store, they will pay you back for what you've spent, plus pay you for your time. You will receive the item for free and also earn money for completing this assignment. So if you need a few extra dollars and love to shop this is a great way to do it.

• NCP App - National Consumer Panel: The Company has been in business for years. Before. you could join the company and they would send you one of their handheld scanners. You would scan bar codes and receipts for the company. Today, they now have an app for your iOS or Android device.

  The app uses your camera on your smartphone to scan the bar codes and your receipts. You can make a lot of money from this company if you can get in the habit of scanning your bar codes. The only problem I have had with this company is the waiting time to become a panel member. This can be a long wait until your name comes up and you can now join the panel. Once you join, you'll be surprised at how much you can earn, just for scanning your bar codes. Furthermore, this is an excellent way to earn cash back from shopping. Every little bit helps and it can add up quickly.

• Checkout51: This is yet another great app for saving money on your grocery shopping and other items you purchase. This app gives you new store rebates each week. When you go shopping and have purchased an item on the rebate list, all you do is scan your register receipt and your account is automatically credited with the rebate. You just need to have $20 in your account and they will automatically send you a check.

  What I love about this app is the fact I don't need to have coupons anymore when I shop. All the coupons are on the site and when I enter a store, they are displayed on my smartphone. It is so easy to earn money from this app. Plus, I love receiving the checks from this company.

  I have decided to use all my saving to open a new account and save for something I really need for my home. I couldn't afford to buy a new stove until I started to use this app. I earned the money for my stove in just a few weeks. You'd be surprised how fast you can earn or save $20 using this app.

Right now I use several apps on my smartphone for rebates, shopping, and being a Mystery Shopper. Each month I can earn around $200 dollars from these apps. I know you need a few of them to use, but the more you use, the more money you'll have each month.

I have found out with the help of these apps, I am able to save for items I never dreamed possible to buy for my home. I was surprised the first month at how much money I had saved shopping and buying items that were listed on my smartphone. Normally, I'd never purchase such items because I found them overpriced. If you want a frugal way to live and extra money in your pocket each month I'd suggest that you try a few of these wonderful apps on your smartphone.
