We use
the internet for everything these days. And now with smartphones keeping the
internet with us at all times, there are plenty of ways we can use the internet
to save on our grocery shopping. Here are the top five apps for saving money on
groceries.
1. ZipList
We need a
list to go grocery shopping, correct? Well, we should have one. That right
there is a huge money saver. Getting only what you do need and nothing you
don't, but keeping up with the list or remembering to bring the list with you
is always my downfall. I do always have my phone, though. And with ZipList, all
of my list making troubles are over.
Not only
is this great at keeping your recipes all in one place, but it can help you
create a shopping list with the items you need. It can even organize your list
based on the layout of your store. What better way to keep those impulse buys
at bay?
2. Weekly
Ads & Sales
This app
is great for more than just your grocery shopping. Really, it's no wonder that
newspapers are struggling so mightily in this information age. This takes away
the need for your weekly Sunday paper. You can get all of your local stores
weekly sales and deals right there on your phone. This way you can decide where
the best place to shop for what you need is right at the touch of your finger.

Grocery iQ
This is
another grocery list which allows you to check off things as you go. You can
completely customize and sort your list. You can even use your phone to scan
the barcode to add things to your list. But on top of that you can also find
coupons for the items on your list. No more forgetting your coupons when you go
shopping.

This is
more ways to get coupons. SavingStar will take all of your stores loyalty cards

Beyond that, you get savings when you shop online at places like Groupon,
Travelocity, LandsEnd.com, and ProFlowers.
5.
Cellfire
This
might be the perfect app for everyone. There's really nothing for you to do. It
will alert you to special savings as soon as you walk into a store and
automatically loads coupon savings onto your loyalty card so you no longer have
to worry about those coupons. It's just that easy to save money on the things
you buy. This will even work at restaurants, department stores, and
entertainment as well.

and apps, don't forget that a Google search will often reveal helpful coupons
and where the best sales are. So make the internet a part of your weekly
grocery shopping. It will not only save you time, but it will also save you
