"I was lucky enough to drop by the new live Anderson Cooper show, Anderson Live, today and chat with Anderson and his guest cohost, Parks and Recreation star Retta about some great money-saving shopping apps. Let me start by saying that Anderson Cooper is quite dreamy. It&amp;#039;s hard not to be bewitched by his dazzling eyes, calm demeanor, and tremendous intellect. And Retta was a hoot, sharing her experiences with her pretend boyfriend Joe Manganiello from True Blood (whom I also love, and am willing to go to battle for!). But back to the reason I was on the show - to present on a segment called Frugal Friday, in which guests give tips on ways to save money. As Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s resident tech expert, I shared some apps that can help save not only money - but time and hassle as well.  I know that the app universe can be overwhelming - with literally hundreds of thousands of apps to sort through. That&amp;#039;s why for our July issue we went to our readers to find out what they love. We proceeded to test out their favorites as well as similar apps. In particular, our readers loved apps that helped them find ways to save when they shopped. Of the hundreds of shopping apps out there, we reviewed 50 or so to find the ones that were easiest to navigate and gave the most helpful information.  I personally love the convenience of apps. If like almost everyone these days, you don&amp;#039;t leave home without your phone, you never need to worry about having a coupon or card with you at the checkout counter. And since apps can hone in on your location using integrated GPS, you can get localized deals.  Watch the video below for a snapshot from the show.  video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player You can get the full details of the apps on Anderson Cooper&amp;#039;s site or goodhousekeeping.com&amp;#039;s Product Review Channel - but here are brief summaries of the apps I love:   Key Ring Rewards - Conveniently consolidates your loyalty cards so you can toss your frequent buyer cards and coupon clippings.  GeoQPons - This robust coupon app is intuitive and neatly organized - helping you find great deals close to wherever you are.  Amazon Price Check - Provides price comparisons in an easy to search format. Enter in products by text, audio, picture, or barcode scan.  Stampt - This is great for stores you frequent a lot - providing you with a digital copy of those &amp;quot;buy 10, get 1 free&amp;quot; cards.  Google Shopper - With Google&amp;#039;s vast database, it&amp;#039;s good to research your product or clothing choices here first.  Shop Style - You can set alerts on specific items on this app, and you&amp;#039;ll be notified when they go on sale!  Card Star - Similar to Key Ring, this consolidates your reward cards into a single app.  For more great money-saving tips and product reviews, check out our Product Review channel on Goodhousekeeping.com (link) and follow my Twitter feed @GHGadgetGirl for the latest tech tips!
