Have you ever been scrolling through someone's fashion-fabulous Instagram feed and spotted a pair of shoes or a clutch or scarf (or ahem, Liz's stack of bracelets ) that you really like? I'm talking really like, to the point of wishing y…

As a Brooklyn resident who falls squarely within the lucky Brooklyn-Manhattan delivery area for the new Amazon Prime Now app ( iOS and Android ) I downloaded it stat. It is a genius premise, functioning essentially like a Fresh Direct ki…

Let me guess: If you add one more item to your to-do list, it's going to burst into flames and take you with it, right? I know. I'm right there with you. That's why I'm loving the MyTime app and website. MyTime takes a help me help you a…

While gift cards won't necessarily elicit tears of joy, they actually can make a lot of sense. Gift cards are a great choice for people you want to recognize, but don't know well enough to choose a personal gift, or for when you have a l…

In my book, shopping isn't really shopping unless you're getting a deal. Doubly so when it come to the crazy holiday shopping season that officially kicks off this week. There are plenty of apps for holiday shopping, and websites with pr…

This is a sponsored message from BluePromoCode. The truth is, shopping just feels better when you find a great bargain. And that winner feeling is definitely doubled when you're able to whip out a glorious coupon to save money on a purch…

With Apple Pay now available, we are avidly watching to see how it will take off as people get more used to ditching their wallets and using their phones to pay for purchases. But for those of you not about to lay down the cash for a shi…

Considering all the major security breaches of the last year at all kinds of major retailers, online and off, I've been pretty surprised to read the news over the past couple of days that tons of major retailers are trying to circumvent …

With National Coffee Day just behind us, there's been a whole lot of buzz about buzz lately. And if there's one thing I learned about people who drink coffee, it's this: don't mess with their java. They like it how they like it, and they…

We've learned over our years of online shopping that the number one rule is never hit "buy" without first searching for a discount code. Even if the item is already on sale, let's say today, for Labor Day. And while there are a number of…

I have mentioned my penchant for frugality and the rush I get when I snag a good deal. (Yes, I said rush). Which is why a neat money-saving shopping app called Flipp will most definitely be on my phone come back-to-school shopping season…

With the addition of baby #3 in the past year, you can bet I won't be heading to a mall anytime soon for back-to-school clothes shopping. Online shopping has been my savior the past few years, but getting the right size is always a big q…

As a mom to three kids, I've often thought that a warehouse club membership would be a good idea. I mean, my kids can put away some snacks. Not to mention the diapers and formula, when we were in that phase of life. But going to the groc…

I'm all for gift cards as Mother's Day gifts (or any other gift) when it's really appreciated and thoughtful. For me: $500 to the shoe department at Saks will do. (There's a reason it's in our Mother's Day gift guide this year, ha.) For …

I love the convenience of being able to buy everything from coffee to couch pillows on sites like Amazon , but it's not always easy to be sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck when I'm shopping online. Well, that's where the Zinc Sa…

The new Amazon Dash is the closest thing to a real magic wand that I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it yet, prepare to be amazed at its brilliance. It's the size of a Wii remote (hey, something else we love!) and connects to your Amaz…

Online consignment for children's clothing isn't exactly new. We've shown you sites like ThredUp and Swap Mamas . But now there's the new Kidizen app that makes quick (and financially savvy) work of buying and selling kids' clothes, toys…

The new site Cricket's Circle is out to clear things up for new parents. And we get it; accurate baby registry help is hard to come by and it's hard to figure out exactly what to include in yours. In fact, it can be one of the most confu…

If you live anywhere in the midwest or on the east coast, you know you are freezing and sick of hearing about polar vortexes. So let's think about wonderful summer produce instead? We recently found this the great Farmstand app for iOS, …

Ever since my kids started elementary school, I have always tried to volunteer and chaperone whenever possible, especially in these years that the kids still actually want me to be there. But with many different opportunities to help out…

When I discovered the Gyft app for Android and iOS earlier this year, it fast became one of those apps I was always showing my friends as one they need to download. I adore that I can save all my gift cards right there, protecting my poo…

Featured Partner Just because Christmas is on Wednesday doesn't mean I'm done shopping online. With rush shipping and ship to store options, I can continue to avoid the crazy last-minute holiday crowds. And hey, if I can save money while…

My kids have been poring through the holiday catalogs that are flooding my mailbox, circling everything they want for Christmas. Plenty of which might be junk. Since Consumr is currently the number one app for consumer reviews in the App…

As a parent, I think it's my responsibility to save money where I can (kids are expensive!), but only on things I really want. That's why we love finding great coupon apps and money-saving tech tools that make things easier. Besides, I n…
