We’ve done a few posts recently aiming to educate our readers on ways to help transform their mobile phones into powerful money-saving tools, because of the incredible, often untapped potential these devices have to help you save. In fact, tech geek that I am, I can say that the single best tool I have for saving money in the last year has been my smartphone. You don’t have to be tech-savvy to save aggressively with these mobile devices though, because mobile apps are usually extremely easy to use and because Save Money Tips is going to make it very easy for you to find them.
I’ve found that apps that fit into my life and let me use them to augment what I’m doing (rather than interrupt me) are the easiest to use and therefore are the ones I use the most. The free Gasbuddy mobile app is a perfect example of this, as I can easily check fuel prices at gas stations near me on the app’s map view as I wait at a stop light, and use the time to save usually several cents per gallon on my gas purchase. Especially in major cities this is a extremely effective way to save money on gasoline, as you could be just a block away from a cheap gas without knowing it.
The Gasbuddy app works with iPhone, Android or Windows Phone. It relies on users to constantly update gas prices in their cities. They are incentivized to do this by way of prizes that Gasbuddy offers, it adds up to rapid, accurate updates of the latest changes in the price of fuel at gas stations near you. As is often the case with mobile apps, there is no downside to trying them because they are free, and you are sure to save money on gas with GasBuddy if you use it.
