Kwa dunia ya sasa kila kitu mkononi application zifuatazo zitafanya maisha yako yawe poa sana.
1:SCAN FOR BARGAINS
With an app called Red Laser you can find out if something you’re about to buy in a shop is being sold cheaper elsewhere.
Click
the button, hold your phone over the item’s barcode (if it won’t scan
you can manually type in the code), then compare the price online and
High Street stores.
Find the cheapest deal and you can buy the item via the app, and either
have it delivered to your home or arrange to pick it up from a local
store.
2:BECOME A WINE BUFF
Know
your 2005 Bordeaux from a bottle of Blue Nun? Wotwine can give you the
know-how of a top sommelier while you are trying to choose your latest
tipple.
An
expert tasting team gives each wine a price it believes to be fair
value. Just scan the barcode on the bottle and see how Wotwine’s price
compares with what you’d pay. You can also look up reviews.
You’ll never pay over the odds for a bottle of plonk again.
FREE TEXTS...
Download
Whatsapp before you or a friend or relative goes on holiday. It will
let you text someone anywhere in the world for free. The cost of texting
someone in the U.S. can be as high as 20p normally.
You need to be connected to the internet and the person you are texting
also needs to have the app, so ensure you are using wi-fi.
The app is free, but you’ll have to pay a one-off fee of 69p after the
first year.
... AND FREE CALLS
Most calls to 0800 numbers from a mobile cost a standard rate, and are not free.
But the 0800 Wizard app helps you dodge hefty charges.
Open
it and type in your 0800 number and press call. A message then pops up
saying ‘magic happening now’ and it finds an alternative landline number
to call.
It won’t cost you anything extra and will count as part of your contract minutes.
You can also ask the app to intercept calls you make normally in case you forget to use it.
CASH FOR ANSWERS
The
Swagbucks website pays you for your opinions. Complete a survey, watch a
video or use the search tool and you will earn points called Swagbucks.
When you have earned enough, you can exchange them for gift cards to
spend at major stores.
Right now, you can exchange 849 swagbucks points for a £5 Amazon voucher or 3,699 for a £25 iTunes voucher.
Sign up using your email and set a password. Depending on how much time you dedicate, you could earn £20-30 a month.
TRAIN TICKET CHEAT
TicketySplit
is a great app and website for anyone who regularly books train
tickets.
It will tell you the cheapest fare to your destination. Because of the
crazy way train firms price tickets, it can often be better to get two
tickets to one destination, instead of a straight single.
For example, it’s cheaper to pay for a ticket from Swindon to
Stoke-on-Trent and then another from Stoke-on-Trent to Manchester rather
than one ticket from Swindon to Manchester Piccadilly
You won’t even need to get off the train.
You
have to be at the station when you use this app — it doesn’t work for
advance tickets, which are often the cheapest way to travel.
You can either use the website splitticket.money saving expert.com or
download the free TicketySplit Lite app.
