This week and next are crazy busy for me, and like many of us it’s likely because I’ve overscheduled with too much enthusiasm for Christmas (can you ever have too much enthusiasm for Christmas, though?) When I’m juggling a bunch of responsibilities and events, I utilize a few sanity saver tactics to get me through.
One tactic is planning ahead and ensuring that I still get the best value for my dollar (one of my life, and blog, mottos!) regardless of being crunched for time. Often, families overspend because they simply fail to plan. I compare flyer prices, only use my coupons for items on sale to start with, and pay attention at the till.
One of the newest money-saving apps I’ve downloaded is Flipp. Flipp enables you to compare flyers from your favorite retailers all in one spot. Then, after comparing the sales, you can pick out which items to buy where, “Clipping” them and adding them to your list. Can’t remember where you found saw butter on sale in the flyer? With Flipp you can access that info with a simple swipe. Love love love the ease of this app for families!
Tasked with picking up snack foods and decor for a gathering with friends this weekend, I used the Flipp App to organize my purchases before heading to Walmart. This is what my Clippings page looked like – all the items I had chosen from the flyer to purchase, all in one spot. It’s like a shopping list of deals, oh my heart!
Having a visual shopping list was actually helpful – I hope that’s not a sign of age but more so of a busy-mom-syndrome – it was really helpful! In addition to my goodies found with the help of Flipp, I picked up fruit, crackers and cheese and some meat to make a quick tray. I’m also kind of obsessed with the holiday themed storage containers and bags and picked up a few of those for a baking exchange next weekend.
You can find the Flipp App on iTunes, and it’s also available for Android devices.
Disclosure – I am a #WalmartmomCA and receive special perks for my participation. All opinions, as always, are my own.
I’m definitely enjoying the Flipp. It has proven to be quite handy.
I always use the flip app. It is so easy to use.
I Flipp Flyer everything – it’s great for when I’m out grocery shopping – no need to make a list or drag along the bulky flyers! Awesome!
This is the first I have heard of the Flipp app. It sounds very useful.

I love Flipp, it has helped to save me money and time but planning my shopping trips before I head out!
I have just started using Flipp and it is great so far
I had never heard of this app but I am going to be downloading it now! I’m always looking for the deals.
As there is only one grocery store in the area I would have to factor the cost of transport to Walmart (90 minute drive away) into the equation
I love the Flipp app its so handy and save time and money too!
I downloaded this app, and love it.
This is such a great idea! I don’t have a smart phone (gasp) but I may have to give in and get one for things like this!
I always feel a little late to the party when it comes to apps and technology. Flipp sounds easy to use. Thanks for your review.
I downloaded the app….now if I could just remember to use it. 😛
I am going to definitely check out this App!
I’ll have to check out this App; it sounds good!
Cheers.
For someone like me that is always on the lookout for that next great app…highly disappointed in myself because until today…I hadn’t heard of it before.
I have downloaded it but have not yet tried it. Looks like a great app, though
I could not live without Flipp, LIFE SAVER!!!!
Sounds like a really helpful app.
I’ve heard of this app before but never used it. Can’t believe on the benefits I’m missing out on. Thanks for this!
I really love the Flipp app – it makes searching out the best deals so simple 🙂
Hmm I’ve never heard of it. I’ll have to try it
Have not tried it yet.
I don’t have a smartphone so Flipp isn’t very realistic for me, but it would be so helpful.
I definitely want to try this app!
I can’t wait to try this out when I get a new phone!
I have this app and love it!
