Who couldn’t use saving a few dollars? These apps are all free for download and each of those listed here will save you something, somewhere. Their usefulness really all depends on where you live. For instance, the first one: CouponClipper wasn’t all that useful in my area, yet a friend in another state found it very useful.

CouponClipper: 

The only thing I found this app useful for were some local restaurants, and even then it wasn’t all that impressive. There is no feature for emailing yourself the offer and some retailers won’t honor your ‘iPhone”. However for the price of free it’s saved me a few dollars at the local Mexican restaurant. So until my son grows out of wanting to eat there weekly, I’ll hold onto this app.  It’s put out by the people at Clipper Magazine and I am assuming their results are limited to local retailers that pay for inclusion into their magazine.         

For the price of: free, it’s worth having just to save a few bucks on pizzas.

Coupon Sherpa:

One of the better coupon iPhone Apps in iTunes. Large selection of national retailers and they had me at Banana Republic. Click a retailer and  it shows you the offers available as well as the expiration date. It shows you the nearest location and then lets you view the actual coupon to present at checkout. 

You can also elect to email yourself the coupon. Thoughtful. I’ve tried using the coupon directly from my iPhone at Ann Taylor and was told they needed the actual paper coupon. So while the app is pretty good, some of the retailers…suck.

At free, it’s a shopaholic must have!

Coupon Cabin:

One of the most inclusive coupon apps on iTunes. From the main screen you can choose from viewing: all coupons, online only coupons, printable coupons, local coupons and grocery coupons. While the online and printable coupon section is pretty valuable, the local and grocery section is pretty worthless. Again , for the price of free, how much can you complain?

There are also sections on the app for submitting coupons, sharing coupons with friends and subscribing to their newsletter.

A variety of options come with this free application. You can elect to view deals by distance, alphabetically or by category. Find a coupon you’d like to use and tap it to enlarge. There you’ll find not only the bar code but the coupon code for easy entering. You can also choose to tweet, Facebook or email the coupon to others. 

Here too is a grocery section. Slightly more useful (but not by much) than Coupon Cabin’s. One market came up: Whole Foods.

You can also keep track of how much you’ve saved with their running calculator.  Not something I’d personally bother with.

There are a multitude of coupon applications on iTunes.  There were several I downloaded that I really found very worthless. Shooger, Valpak and Cellfire were among them. Again, usefulness is probably a relative thing here. The area you live in might make some applications more worthwhile than others.
