We’ll be the first to admit it: we’re addicted to shopping. However, just because we love to shop doesn’t mean that our bank accounts are ever in the red. We are always looking for ways to save money, whether it’s with coupons at BluePromoCode or keeping our eyes out for sales. Sometimes it can start to feel a lot like work, though. What if you could take all the work out of shopping, and make saving money as easy as just loading up a mobile app? With these five shopping apps, you can shop whenever, wherever you want, and keep your bank account in the black!

StyleSpotter Keeps You Affordably Fashionable

StyleSpotter is one of the hottest new shopping apps around, and with good reason. Fashion hounds can search for their favorite designer items from stores like Bloomingdale’s and Anthropologie, and be alerted when a saved item has a price drop. Along with price drop alerts, you can find the latest promo codes at your favorite stores. Save your favorite items into collections of your choosing, and check out other StyleSpotter collections. StyleSpotter is currently available as an iPad app.


ShopSavvy Gives The Best Prices On Everything

The next time you’re in a JCPenney or Target, and you’re deciding whether to purchase that cute top or not, load up ShopSavvy and scan the bar code on the tag. It will give you the best price, whether it’s off of Amazon or in the store you’re standing in, along with the details and any reviews of the item. Save your favorite items, and check out featured lists of hot new items. ShopSavvy is available on iOS and Android.


Give & Get Free Gifts & Special Offers With Wrapp

Do you love giving and receiving gifts? So do we. Wrapp is a “social gifting app” - which makes it easy to give and receive gifts and promotions that are only available on Wrapp. The best part is that often, you can give free gifts to your friends. For example, I just “wrapped” $6 H&M for five of my Facebook friends, and it cost me $0. Ask your friends to return the favor, and you’ll also get $6 to spend at H&M with no strings attached. You can also claim promotions and offers from stores featured on Wrapp, from DSW, American Eagle Outfitters, and more. Wrapp is available on iOS and Android.


Check Into Awesome Deals With Foursquare

Are you a loyalist to your favorite stores and restaurants? Take advantage of that by participating in the original check-in app, Foursquare. The more you check in to your favorite places, the more chances you have of unlocking loyalty badges that may include specials and discounts. Some places will give you a free item for a first-time visit; other places will give you a discount for being a regular. Either way, you can’t lose.


Take Advantage Of Local Deals With Amazon Local

Love your daily deals? Don’t forget to download Amazon Local, one of the best daily deal apps around. You’ll get discounts up to 75% on deals in your saved locations. Along with daily deals on everything from tea to car services, Amazon Local, will also provide occasional coupons for freebies, such as $10 to spend at Audible or at Oka-b.com.
