Computers may have revolutionized the way we shop, but smartphones are taking the changes even further. When it comes to buying goods there really is no end to their talents. These five apps are all designed to help you save money, whether you’re shopping online or out on the high-street.
1. Google Shopper (Android and iPhone)
Goggle Shopper is a great place to start. It allows you to check the price of an item in a variety of different ways. You can scan the barcode or use the camera on your phone to take a picture of the product. You can even search by saying the name of the product if you’re using a device with voice command enabled.
Once the app knows what you’re looking for it will return with the best prices from the web. The app can even be used to locate your nearest local stores, which could help you save money on petrol.

4. XE Currency App (Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone)
This one’s a bit different, but the XE Currency App is an essential bit of kit for any frequent traveler who wants to save money. It lists the live exchange rates for every currency in the world and updates every single minute. You can even find out the going rate for different precious metals which is pretty cool.
The currency converter is particularly useful for shopping abroad as it will tell you how much the item you’re looking at would cost at home. You can even use one of the 30,000 currency charts to work out whether the current exchange rate is good or bad.
