There are apps for everything under the sun today, even saving money. So, of course, there are apps to help you shop! There are a few I use consistently, whether I'm just fantasy shopping or actually going out to buy things. And whether I'm shopping for things I need or just shopping for fun!
1. RetailMeNot
This is my number one app I use when I go shopping. This app will give you all of the updated coupon codes and sale details for every store you can think of. Not only does this give you coupon codes and tell you all of the sales going on in stores, but it has deals for food, too! You can even save money when you stop for lunch!
2. The Hunt
This app is good for either fantasy shopping, online shopping, or shopping preparation. With this app, you can post pictures of outfits you've seen online, and other app users will send you the link to where to buy them online! It also has a poll option, in which you can post pictures of outfits you're choosing between, and the users will vote on their favorite to help you decide. Finally, there's a "style me" option. With this, users ask fellow users to help choose outfits for them for specific events such as concerts or trips!
3. We Heart It
This app isn't necessarily for shopping, but if you use it right it can be! Essentially, this app just has a plethora of pictures that fall into hundreds of different categories. If you find fashion accounts and fashion boards to follow, you can find some many outfit ideas and fashion inspiration. Then, you can post the outfits you do like onto The Hunt to find out where to buy them!
4. Store Apps
This seems basic and unnecesary, but trust me these can save you a good bit of money. Often times, stores will have special deals that are only available if you order through the app. As far as I know, these deals also don't show up on RetailMeNot, so it's best to already have the apps and check them every so often for good app-exclusive deals!
5. Rent the Runway
This app is perfect if you if you have many of formal events to attend. This app can let you rent expensive designer dresses for your events! This way, you never have to wear the same dress twice, and you don't have to spend all your money trying to buy new ones every time!
