If you have a Smartphone you know it’s capable of a lot of fun things, but if you’re like me, you rarely have time to experiment with new apps.
One of my goals right now is to use the phone to save money and help it pay for itself.
I recently realized there are so many helpful money saving apps that I was missing out on. Check out this list of frugal Apps for iPhone or Android and help offset the cost of your phone by saving extra money!
