Nowadays, everything is mobile: email, maps, and even coloring books. It seems like there’s an app for just about everything, even things you didn’t know you needed. However, no matter how much technology changes, one thing will always be true: we still need to eat. And with inactive lifestyles quickly becoming the norm, we need to eat well.

1. You will never forget your coupons
| When you leave your house, what are the 2 things you always bring? Wallet! *check* Phone! *check*. The best thing about these apps is that if you carry a smart phone around, coupons are with you at ALL times. An unexpected stop on your way home from work to get cereal could result in some unexpected savings! | |
2. You can search for coupons while in the
store!
| Are you standing in the aisle wondering what spaghetti sauce to choose? Check the app. Often, there will be coupons for common items such as sauces, snacks, and toiletries. 3. Keep track of your shopping list. | |
| The apps allow you to make a shopping list on the go! Whether at work, school or running errands, you can add items to your list as you think of them. You’ll never forget your list at home again! 4. You will never be at a loss with what to cook for dinner! | |
| There are many great resources for recipes online but sometimes deciding on one is overwhelming. On the Price Chopper app, for example, you can search by ingredient, meal, cooking methods, prep time, and even occasion! What’s even better is that you can add all the recipe ingredients to your shopping list on the app! 5. Add items from weekly circulars straight to your shopping list. | |
| Each stores weekly circular is available on their app. Better yet, it’s even categorized into easy to navigate pages. Combine these weekly savings with coupons to make your shopping trip a total discount. 6. It is a time saver! | |
| Never wait in line for deli products, cakes, or catering. Some apps allow you to order ahead and pick up at your convenience. | |
7. Free tastes best!
| Some apps, like Stop and Shop, offer 1 free item a month. In December 2016, they gave away free Stop and Shop Brand Oatmeal pots. In January it was $5 towards ANY bakery item. These promotions are great, and no strings attached. | |
Bonus!
The coolest feature we found while researching grocery apps is Shop Rite's “Recommended by You” feature. Link your Shop Rite card to your account to track your recent purchases. Shop Rite will then show you a list of frequently purchased items which happen to be on sale that day!
