Top 5 iOS shopaholic apps

Believe it or not, there was once a time when people walked to the shops, bought their monthly supplies and walked home. Who needs legs these days though? Download these apps and show the delivery man that he’s your bitch.

Amazon Mobile — Free

One of the biggest online shops, Amazon has is now available to iOS users. Shop to your heart’s content without having to leave your couch. Search for reviews of products to make your decision that much easier. And best yet, it will deliver to your door step all over the world.

Groupon — Free

Sticklers for discounts will know about Groupon, and if not, then it’s about time to get on the bandwagon. Anything from hot air balloon rides to online web design courses, they’re all on offer for 50-90% discount. Quite ridiculous, I say. Sign up and browse your phone while on the can for great deals.

RedLaser — Free

When you have the time to shop around and find the right price, it’s usually pretty worth it. The number of times I could have saved money just by going to the shop next door is depressing.

RedLaser bar code scanner allows you to scan the bar code of an item and find out where it is cheapest. It will even show you reviews on the products you scan, just in case you’re not sure if you need that new plasma screen. Great to use if you need an excuse to spend money.

Around Me — Free

Perfect if you’re in a new area and have an itch to shop. You know what I’m talking about, you fiends. Around Me identifies your position and shows you what is, well, around you. Simple as choosing a category and following a map.

Key Ring Reward Cards — Free

I like to keep my wallet empty of all but the necessities. I don’t mind if it’s thick with cash, but I have a problem when I have too many cards that I barely use. Key Ring Reward Cards makes a copy of your loyalty cards so you can keep them on you at all times, without the hassle of carrying them all around. Convenient.
