Shopping is either pure bliss or torture, depending on who you ask. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you are on, Android apps will help you save money and allow you to become a more efficient shopper (which I’m sure appeals to most of you). So what does that entail? It’ll give the shopaholics more bang for their buck, which is never a bad thing. Perhaps even more importantly, these Android apps will provide homophobes with what they crave- less time in the stores!

Android Apps

The pure power and functionality of these Android apps can make shopping virtually an all-new experience. Whether these apps function as a shopping list, database, storefront, or supplemental knowledge source, they’re all squarely aimed at one thing: if you use them, they will save you money!

Money-making Android apps

You’re feeling that Android shopping apps, in general, might help you, right? Well, here are 10 Android apps that will save you money while they help you fulfill all your shopping needs and desires. Oh, and did I mention that all these ten are completely FREE to download?

SnapTell

Want to know more about an item you saw on the rack? Just use SnapTell to scan the barcode of any CD, DVD, book, or video game, and you can get all the information you need. What type of information? Well, if you want some more cursory information, that’ll work. Most notably, if you see how the price stacks up to other distributors, it can do that for you in seconds. This app could be a big-time money-saver for you if you take the time to use it before you make that next media purchase!

Key Ring Reward Cards

This is a convenient app to consolidate all your clutter in your purse/wallet while ensuring that you don’t lose valuable reward/loyalty cards. How does it work? All you do is take a snapshot of the barcode of your reward card (just about any decent-sized company with a rewards program is in the database- over 650 programs) and enter some basic information about the store. That’s it; you’re now ready to use your phone as your reward card at that store in the future by pulling up your reward information on this Android app. It’s probably not for non-techies or those who crave extreme simplicity. It is, however, a great idea and technology that will no doubt get crisper in the future.

If you don’t mind carrying all your reward cards and potentially losing one or two along the way (and waiting to replace the card), this free Android app sounds like a waste of time. But, if the extra inch of not-so-soft plastic padding for your rump (or the misuse of perfect purse space- not to mention the potential inability to use your chic tiny purse out shopping) isn’t idyllic, this app is worth the few minutes to download and get everything set up properly.

OurGroceries

This is the perfect app for the happy, busy family of Android phone users. It allows the kids to add all their necessary foods endlessly. When the items are purchased, they can be removed from the list (on all the Android phones it’s registered to), and then, 4 hours later, they can easily be added back onto the list! Joking aside, this is a great app for the new-age, hyper-busy, hyper-tech families that want to become more efficient.

Hey, it costs a lot of money to keep purchasing that extra loaf of bread that your husband/wife (or even you- thanks to that undecided hmmm, don’t we need bread moment even though you just bought two loaves yesterday- yes, you’re not alone!) just picked up and will end up turning green before anyone has a chance to make a sandwich with it.

OI Shopping list

To me, this app, fully named the OpenIntents Shopping list, is like OurGroceries for the single folks out there. A family wouldn’t benefit from this app; it just has more features, and it’s not a perfect fit like the other app is for families that need a simple solution to keep up with their latest shopping needs. That being said, this app is a powerful workhorse and can save you countless hours and some decent cash at year’s end.

US Yellow Pages Search

This is one of the more useful free Android apps available, and I’ll be honest, it doesn’t 100% fit with the theme of helping you save money while shopping. I could argue that it does, but for simplicity, I’ll use an old cliche: Time is Money! SDevotingsome time is just as good as saving cash on those busy days out and about.

Having this app on your Android phone is like having 300 super-thick Yellowbooks from all over the US crammed into your back pocket. It’s not a bad thing if you travel a decent amount or enjoy living outside your house. It’s just a great resource to have on hand for those times when you need to find a business’s number fast.
