Big Assets: Apps that save you cash

Articles on money apps always mention Mint.com. It is a great app for those that are diligent about their finances.

The problem is that most of you are not! You need instant rewards when you do a good money deed. So I have chosen three great apps that save cash while shopping (something all of you do too well).

My favorite money-saving app is Barcode Scanner. All you do is open the app and point the camera at a product barcode. A list of nearby stores and their price pops up for that product. You instantly see if you’re getting a fair price or can buy it cheaper at another store.
