Saving money is hard, and on occasions seems impossible. Living in the 21st century is too expensive, and temptations lie around every corner. For this reason, it’s important we know how to find the best bargains and budget effectively. Thankfully, there are apps that can help us to do this.

Of course, sites like Amazon are always there to consult when we want to check out the price of something (it’s almost always cheaper there than in the physical stores). But in this case, we wanted to focus on all those apps that give us a helping hand with the day to day stuff: the weekly grocery shop, gas, bills, and so on.

Another area in which money seems to disappear into thin air is the gas station.

GasBuddy is a simple app which compares all the prices of gas at stations in your area.

The map and list displays are clear and load fairly quickly, and the prices are updated regularly so that you don’t get any nasty surprises when you turn up.
