Looking for small tips and advice to save some extra money at the end of each month? These days, technology can be our closest friend in helping us save not only money, but time. From energy monitoring apps on your smartphone to help lower your utility bills to comparison sites to help you get the cheapest airfare, technology is vastly improving the way we stay informed and under budget!
Here are several helpful sites and apps to add to your list of bookmarks. Some may be familiar and some are lesser known, which demonstrates just how rapidly technology is progressing. New online resources are popping up all the time, so keep updated.
VoucherCloud
Are you a bargain hunter, always looking for the latest deals and coupons to save you some cash on those must have items? Well then this is definitely the app for you. This app will send you the latest vouchers for your favorite shops. All you need to do is search for the shop you love and the app will use GPS technology to find out if there are any deals or savings to be made at the moment. This is great for clothes shopping, but it is even more handy when looking for bargains at the supermarket. It’s those everyday items that add up.
Envirofone.com
If, like many of us, you have many old phones lying around and don’t know what to do with them, then this site is sure to help you get rid of the old and make some extra cash. Envirofone is a recycling service that pays you for your old phones, even if they are damaged, and then recycles them to be sold in third world countries. You will make some extra cash and be helping someone at the same time!
If you have a variety of old phones, all the way back to the good old Nokia 3610, then simply visit the website and use the search tools to find out how much you could get for your old phones. They send you a pre paid envelope and you post them back! It costs you nothing!
The Skype app is a “must” for anyone who loves to chat for hours or lives abroad from loved ones. Many of you have likely already downloaded this app, but for those of you who haven’t, here is why you need it. Skype is a free computer to computer service which is the first perk, but it also allows you to ring Skype users for free and you can talk for as long as you like. Not only does this save your data allowance, but you can also use the video chat to see your loved ones whilst you talk, which great for friends and family overseas.
Easily compare and find credit cards at creditcard.com.au. Comparison sites – from airline tickets to credit card offerings – have become more and more advanced over the past few years as they have become more popular tools for finding the best deals. This site is another great aggregator of information that makes it easy to scan and see the differences between credit cards. In neatly organized tables with images of the card to easily identify the cards, Creditcard.com.au helps people make more educated decisions when it comes to their credit cards.
TravelSupermarket.com
Summer is finally here, but in these tough economic times we all need to find the cheapest ways to travel. This is where a visit to travelsupermarket.com can come in handy. The website collates all the deals happening around the globe and put them all in one simple, easy to use place. You can then filter through to find the best deals for hotels, flights, resorts and even attractions whilst you are away. Much like financial comparison sites, you will need to do some hunting to find the information you need and it is also wise to read the user reviews if you find somewhere that you want to visit.
