Using technology to save money on everyday expenses

Technology tends to cost us money, but did you know that it can also help save money? We’ve talked before on how you can use your computer or smartphone to help you budget your finances, but there are lots more ways to use your favorite tech devices. Let’s explore a few different ideas on how you can use technology to save money on everyday expenses:

• Use TrackMySPEND to keep track of your everyday purchases. The app will also show you ways on how you can save
• MotorMouth helps save money by showing you petrol prices in your neighborhood or specific location
• Lasoo – this app shows you prices for different stores which helps you comparison shop in order to get the best prices and deals
• Trollysaver takes your grocery shopping list and shows you the best prices for the items on your list

This is a very short list compared to all the apps out there that will help you save money while shopping. There are also apps which will give you cash back or rewards for shopping at your favourite stores, or at specific stores. Every app is different so it’s important to check out the terms to make sure it’s something that meets your needs. What’s great about applications for your phone is that you can often see what other users say about it, such as how well it works and how much money other consumers were able to save.

Using technology is a great way to start saving money, but if you find that you’re saddled with debt and you’re looking for different options on how to get out of it, check out our debt management services for more information!
