Groupon

Groupon

Price: Free

Groupon is another coupons app and arguably the most well-known on this list. It claims to be able to deals for up to 50%-70% off of quality items although in most cases it’s less than that. Using the mobile app, you can buy and participate in deals, track your purchased vouchers, and redeem coupons using the app. There are some more advanced features for those who are really into coupons. You can also share deals with friends and family, track deals by location and expiration date, and more. It’s a solid coupons app. It also works for online stores and the usual brick-and-mortar stores.

Jet

Jet is a unique shopping app that lets you shop for various things and get savings when you buy certain “smart items” together. It has a ton of stuff for sale so it shouldn’t be hard to find what you’re looking for. You’ll also get free shipping once your order amount gets high enough and you’ll also get Android Pay support, one-click re-ordering, and some odd, but unique tactics like giving you the opportunity to waive return rights in order to save a bit more money. It looks like fun and it’s worth a shot.

Newegg

Newegg

Price: Free / $49.99 per year
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY
It took a while but Newegg finally got their mobile app in a spot where it’s actually really good. With the mobile app you can browse various deals, manage your wishlists, search for items, and purchase items. There are even deals tailored specifically for the mobile app that you won’t find on the desktop site. When it comes to consumer electronics, this is probably better than Best Buy and the user reviews are generally a little more educated than more mainstream sites like Amazon (just a little bit). If you’re looking for electronics, try this. You can pick up a Premier account for $49.99 per year which comes with extra shopping perks.

Wish

Wish

Price: Free

Wish is one of those shopping apps that lets you search for sales. It boasts the ability to get people up to 80% off of some items. Of course, that doesn’t guarantee that the items you want will be cheap, but a sale is a sale. It’s probably not great for day-to-day browsing, but finding something you’ve been wanting on sale has its perks. The app itself is well done and easy to use. There are also a few categories to help keep things in line. It’s good, but not great. However, getting stuff for cheap at this scale is worth noting.

Brick-and-mortar stores and making a larger push toward mobile shopping apps. This is to compete with the big dogs like Amazon and others. There are tons of options out there, including Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and other retail stores. You can even find smaller specialty store apps like Gamestop, individual brand shops like Abercrombie and Fitch, and many others. They won’t have a selection like the mega-stores such as Amazon, but it’s a good place to go if you’re looking for something very specific. Plus, most have the ability to ship to a store (or pick up from a store) so you can pick it up there if you don’t want something delivered to your home.
