The best apps to help you save money, give you exclusive deals

You probably have more apps on your phone than you can even use.

According to our consumer advisor, Clark Howard, there are some apps that reign supreme. He says if you aren’t using apps to save money, you are missing out.

He gave Channel 11 the scoop on which ones he uses the most on things from groceries to fast food, to major clearance deals.

“My favorite app of all is the Sam’s Club app. If you have the Sam’s app, there are items in the store that they give you a cheaper price if you have the Sam’s app, than members will otherwise get on the items,” Clark said.

He’s a big fan of the scan and go feature, where you scan your items, pay on your phone and walk out the door.

If you like fast food, Clark says the McDonald’s app is top-notch.

“McDonald’s app is so well done,” Clark said.

Clark says McDonald’s has special deals only available to those using the app.

“I get lower prices all the time because of the McDonald’s app, and then I get points that then allow me free food,” said Clark.

And for those who love shopping on Amazon, Clark says you need to know about Woot.

Woot is Amazon’s clearance app, which offers daily app specials and deals.

“If they’ve got slow-moving items or they are offering a deal on something past season – the Woot app is a great way to save money on stuff that you might have paid much more money on Amazon to buy, said Clark.

If you are a big fan of saving time and jumping the line, Clark says nobody does it better than Chick-fil-A, where you can order on the app, and then use the mobile drive-thru like an express lane or walk in and grab your food and go.
