Apps, Apps, Apps

For better or worse it seems like just about everybody has a smart phone of some type now days. The problem I have is that there are so many possible uses for my smart phone I don't know where to start! There are a gazillion apps... which ones are even worth having?

Well, I've done a little research and come up with a few FREE apps that will help you either save or make some money. Hope you find them useful!

• MINT: This is an easy-to-use app that will put all of your financial data in one place. Just a couple of uses are to track a budget and send you bill reminders. You can use it on your computer, iPhone, or Droid.
• WALLABY: This app will help you get the most from your credit cards. For example, type in the store name you are shopping in and it will tell you which credit card to use to get the most reward points. If you are using your card at a gas station, it will tell you which card gives you a bonus when you use it on gas... and so on.
• REDLASER: You can use this app to scan the bar code of an item you are looking at in a store and it will do a comprehensive search of stores in your area and tell you where you can get the item cheaper, and at what price.
• BILLSHRINK: If you would like to have some help picking the best cell phone plan... savings account... internet service... credit card... or any other type of service or product, this could be a great app for you. It will ask you some basic questions about how you will use the product or service and then calculate the best plan or product for you!
