Everybody wants to save money when they shop, but few know where to start. Many people pull out their default operating budget and immediately start looking for ways to cut costs. You can probably use an app to lifehack your way to saving money during times of high inflation. Try out a few of these apps to find out.
1. Rocket Dollar
Rocket Dollar is not an app in the traditional sense, but it is a very useful financial service for increasing the value and flexibility of your retirement savings strategy. Many (if not most) retirement products only include traditional stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, which are hardly liquid assets.
On the other hand, Rocket Dollar innovates account management and permits retirement funds for non-traditional investments like startup funding, cryptocurrency, real estate purchases, and more. The Rocket Dollar team can assist clients who want to include alternative assets in their retirement portfolio.
2. Flashfood
Save money while preventing supermarkets from sending millions of pounds of food to the local landfill. The Giant Company in Pennsylvania piloted the Flashfood app, which alerts customers to bargains that are being pulled from shelves just before their expiration date and relocated to a Flashfood section.
3. Personal Capital
When inflation rises, and the world is in turmoil, you’ll want to work with a company that will keep your finances on track. Personal Capital is the organization for you. It is more important than ever to start planning retirement as soon as possible. Personal Capital prepares you by storing all of your assets and liabilities in one secure location. Examine your chances of retirement success and what you can do to achieve your objectives.
Personal Capital allows you to discover all hidden fees in your mutual funds, investments, and retirement accounts, allowing you to compare plans to find the best one.
4. Fetch Rewards
What if you could keep buying the things you already love and get paid for them? Fetch Rewards has made that a possibility.
This mobile shopping platform analyzes your purchases and automatically credits your Fetch Rewards account for each qualifying brand you purchase. Additionally, Fetch Rewards will notify you of any special offers that may interest you and the period during which purchases of particular brands qualify.
5. Mint
Mint is an extremely popular (and powerful) tool for managing personal finances, connecting all your financial information in one place. Changing bad spending habits is often as simple as seeing the big picture, and Mint certainly fits the bill in that regard.
After the initial download of your data, Mint offers a simple system for budgeting, generating income and expense categories on the fly, and configuring personalized alerts and notifications. That only scratches the surface of Mint’s capabilities.
6. Ibotta
Ibotta is a cashback app that rewards users for making purchases through the app. Suppose you shop at popular stores like Walmart or Best Buy (among many others). If so, use the Ibotta app to make the same purchases you would have made anyway.
7. InboxDollars
Shoppers enjoy connecting with brands they like, and brands want to connect with these specific customers. InboxDollars fills the gap with a win-win solution that gives consumers their money back while giving advertisers useful information.
8. Due.com
Due.com is a powerful tool for managing money, but it isn’t an app. It promises “simple retirement for the modern human.” You have complete control over your retirement savings and spending with a Due.com annuity. Users always know where they stand and can withdraw their entire balance at any time if they are not completely satisfied.
9. Swagbucks
The best financial reward comes from doing something you already enjoy. Swagbucks’ creators have made it as simple as possible to earn real, tangible financial rewards for conducting an internet search, shopping online, playing video games, and more.
Users can earn cash back by shopping for groceries, dining out, or purchasing gift cards as gifts. You can even get prescription discounts.
Begin Saving Right Now
When trying something new, no matter how simple it is to use, there is almost always a period of adjustment. Use the above list to test out one or two services simultaneously. Give each app a fair chance, but don’t be afraid to abandon it and start over if the system doesn’t fit the way you live your life.
