There are
literally thousands of apps available for download (and a lot of them are
free!) on smartphones or tablets. A lot
of them help us do a lot of useful things, like pass the time beating every
level of Angry Birds or dominating your friends in Words With Friends. As fun as apps like that are, there are quite a few other apps that can do something even more powerful…they can help you save money! Here are three types of apps* that you need to
check out -
1. Retailer’s
Apps – Instead of keeping all those junk emails with coupons, or actually using
scissors to physically cut coupons out keep them all at the swipe of your
finger! So many retailers have their own
app that will let you select your main location and will even push coupons to
your phone and notify you when they are available and when they are about to
expire so you don’t miss out on any savings!
2. Gift Card
Apps – I can’t count the times that I have been searching through my wallet or
purse looking for that gift card I just KNOW I have in there somewhere to
finally give up and end up paying with cash or credit because there’s a line
behind me. Save the room in your wallet
and stop missing out on gift card balances by keeping them in your phone! The app holds the balance, so even if you
break or lose your phone (gasp!) you won’t miss out on the money you had left
on the gift card because it’s stored in the app!
3. Honor MobileApp (last but certainly not least!) – Gone are the days when you could only
access your account inside your local credit union branch. Honor’s gone mobile, and a lot of other
financial institutions have to! Having
your account at your fingertips via your smart phone or tablet will allow you
to keep better tabs on your account balance and your spending. Plus, through Honor’s app, you have access to
features that the website doesn’t offer – like mobile deposit that lets you
deposit checks without having to come into the branch! New features are on the way, too like P2P and
Apple Pay!
Honor's Kaylee stopped in to chat with 97.5 Y-Country's Wild Bill about her favorite apps to help you save money in this week's Mason Jar Monday!
