Well today is the first day of Spring and while it may not feel like it here in the East, it is time that we begin a lot of celebrations. Being as busy are we are and always looking for ways to save time, money, and energy, I would love to present you with some new apps that will do just that for you. These will be great for all your celebration needs and just your weekly shopping needs.

Flipp

Flipp is the essential free circular shopping app that helps consumers save big on the items they shop for every week, all year long. A savings of 20-70% per item each week, for 52 weeks, adds up to some major savings.

Getting back on a good financial track can be difficult as can staying savings-minded throughout the year, but Flipp makes it super easy to do so, without even thinking about it. It’s a shopper’s and saver’s best friend.

It is a free, location based shopping app that brings hundreds of retail circulars right to the user’s mobile device, Flipp delivers the latest sales and savings from all your neighborhood stores right to your pocket. From the grocery store to the pet store, users can snag the best deals wherever and whenever they shop, without you sourcing, clipping or lugging the circulars around.

Flipp is different from other circulars in that it has more flyers than any other shopping app and users can search by their favorite retailer or search for a specific item or even search for specific savings amount with the handy discount slider. Users can create in-app shopping lists to plan ahead saving time and avoid making impulse buys.

Flipp can be downloaded for free at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flipp/id725097967?mt=8 and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wishabi.flipp&hl=en, let the savings begin.

Key Ring

If you are like me you have tons of loyalty cards. This handy app allows shoppers to keep all their favorite store loyalty cards in one place. Key Ring puts all your cards on your phone, so they’re there when you need them. Scan and store grocery cards, gym cards, library cards, gift cards… you name it. Loyalty cards scan straight from your phone at the checkout counter, saving you money instantly.

Saving is simple when deals and coupons are instantly redeemable from your mobile device. Thousands of exclusive deals from over 13,000 brands and retailers are constantly refreshed and at your fingertips. Deals and coupons from nearby retailers are organized by category and always conveniently available, making it easy for you to save money on the go.

It all started with an idea. Tired of carrying around a wallet full of plastic cards for all the loyalty programs he’d joined while traveling for business, Chris Fagan began looking for a solution. He wanted something that would allow him to enjoy the perks of enrolling in as many rewards programs as possible, without requiring him to add anything extra to his wallet.

Based on the immediate response and consumer demand for the app, Chris knew he was onto to something big.  In its first year on the market, Key Ring had 400,000 installs. That number quickly grew to 1 million, and now stands at more than 10 million just four years later. During that time, Key Ring has evolved from a basic mobile wallet for loyalty cards into a total shopping solution, providing consumers with access to exclusive deals from their favorite retailers and CPG brands.
