Most people are cheap. We want to spend as little as possible, but get the best available. That’s not always easy, though. It often involves a lot of waiting, and worst of all, disappointment when you finally find the perfect deal, only to realize it has since sold out or expired. With smartphones, deal hunting has become much easier, though. Apps are now available that alert you when a product you want is on sale, or when a deal you’ve been watching is about to expire. There are many great deal apps on the Play Store, but read on to find out AndroidHeadlines’ top 10 deal hunting apps.
TravelZoo is an app that focuses on deals around a certain area, which would really come in handy on vacation, especially because it can show you deals on a map. It shows you the top travel deals, local deals, and entertainment. The Top 20 list shows the top deals for that week, making it easy to filter through the deals that may not be all that hot. TravelZoo is free.
TapSave is a deal app that focuses mainly on deals in retail stores. Let’s say you’re in Target and don’t have enough cash to buy everything you need. With TapSave, you can open up the app and search for a sale or coupon for Target that may not be advertised. You can also, of course use TapSave to buy things online. Most stores allow you to purchase the product right in the app, making for a very simple process. TapSave is free.
Daily deals are often some of the best deals you’ll ever see, but usually sell out incredibly quickly, making it hard to capitalize on the deal. Deal Drop is an app that takes daily deals from all over the web, and puts them into one place. Currently, it aggregates 96 national deal sites and 138 local deal sites, so there are definitely a lot of deals available. The app’s Holo-inspired design makes it easy on the eyes, as well. Deal Drop is free.
Mobile Coupons and Deals is another app that focuses mainly on in-store deals. The app aggregates coupons from stores all over world, such as Old Navy, Gap, Forever 21, Starbucks, and more. It also brings in many retail weekly ads for stores like Target and Best Buy. It covers 1000 malls across the United States and allows you to narrow down the deals by location, too. It’s free on the Play Store.
Let’s face it. As expensive as eating out can be, we all love to do it, especially those of us, like me, who can’t cook at all. Dining Deals is an app, you guessed it, that focuses strictly on restaurant deals and coupons. It indexes deals for fast food restaurants like Arby’s, as well as high-end, eat-in places. The app allows you to narrow deals down by restaurant, and also as a “hot deals” section that shows the most popular coupons. Dining Deals is free.
