However, frugality apps have proven to be tremendously helpful for many families, and the following is a list of the most essential apps for anyone looking to cut back their spending using the iPad’s simple technology.
Family Friendly Frugality (Free)
Coming in at #1 is the only free app on the list. This user-friendly app is chock full of useful information (such as its “Frugal News” category) and has coupon deals right at your fingertips. The layout is easy on the eyes and overall, it is very easy to navigate. It is created for iPhones and compatible with iPads. So, whether you’re looking for hot deals (includes some daily deals sites), coupons, or even awesome freebies, you cannot be without Family Friendly Frugality.
My Coupons (Free and $0.99)
This is one of the top-rated paid iPad apps in the lifestyle category. At just $0.99 (there is a free version offered too), My Coupons is wondrously helpful for anyone looking to get organized, stop forgetting expiration dates on coupons, and save lots of money! It’s extremely easy to add, rearrange, and remove coupons from your queue and you can even star some as your favorites. The lite version contains ads, but regardless of what version you get, My Coupons is a must-have in order to stay on top of all your saving opportunities.
Track My Coupons (Free and $1.99)
This is another great couponing app, with both free and $1.99 versions available.

Whether you have nine or nine hundred coupons, this app will be a lifesaver.
PriceBook ($1.99)
At $1.99, you can’t go wrong with the iPhone-formatted, iPad-compatible PriceBook. It allows you to track past purchase prices at your favorite stores and compare prices on products between them. Everything can be sorted in multiple ways, from lowest purchase price to best value (greatest quantity for the price) and store preference. Whether you want to create shopping lists, use the calculator to make your own decisions, or just compare between stores, PriceBook is one of the best apps for the job.
