November 29 and December 2 — Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday — are the most long-awaited days of the year for all shopping fans, reminds USA Today. How can smartphone apps help you? Everything is very simple and convenient: with their help you can find profitable offers in the retail network or online, they will be able to warn you about sales or discounts on goods that you are interested in, provide coupons for scanning in the store or offer cashback for purchases.

Here are four great free apps you can download from the App Store (for iPhone, iPad) or Google Play (for Android devices).

Slickdeals

This popular application was named after the largest community on the exchange of information about discounts and sales on the Internet (the site of the same name for more than 20 years). Allows you to share the best deals on products, services, travel and much more.

The community votes for every online or retail transaction discussed on the Slickdeals forums, and the hottest go to the Popular Offers section (for example, 50% discount on Amazon Echo Dot smart column). The best of the popular offers are then checked by editors who determine whether the purchase will be profitable enough to bring it to the main page of the application. There is also a special section called Black Friday.

If you want to watch the price of an item—say, a TV model—when it drops to at least $700, you can sign up for “deal alerts” and get notified.

Site Slickdeals.net also offers coupons, promo codes, weekly ads, free ads, and a new extension for the Chrome browser that displays offers on your desktop.

Flipp

A popular app for retail customers. Flipp not only combines all those paper brochures from stores that usually bring under your door, but also highlights the best deals. A special Black Friday section is also available.

To get started, enter your zip code and the app will show you the nearest retailers and the products they offer, regardless of whether you are looking for consumer electronics, household items or home accessories, fashion products or food. In addition, the application (and the site) will find related coupons that you can use for even greater savings.

Click and hold on the product icon to find out more, or do a quick tap to virtually pin it to your shopping list. This is a “smart” shopping list that also allows you to enter a word such as “video doorbell” to see the best deals nearby.

The application also stores your loyalty cards, so you do not need to carry all this plastic with you.

Rakuten

It’s one thing to save money when shopping, but how about making money? application Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) pays cash every time you shop online through participating retailers—and there are many.

Here's how it works: Sign up for a free account and launch the app or website when you go shopping. You can now click (or select) a supported store's logo to search for products.

eBay

While many people prefer to shop in-store (or on their website or app), don't forget about online apps—you can also find great Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday deals online.

There is a myth that all products on eBay were actually in use. The company denies this and claims that most products are new. And, if you do not want to bid at the auction, most of them can be bought immediately.

You can find some great deals in the eBay app (and on the website ebay.com/deals), including many exclusive, hard-to-reach and outside the country goods that can be delivered to your door or brought to the person for whom you ordered it.

The application is easy to use and allows you to communicate with the seller directly. Be sure to take into account the delivery time if you want to receive a gift under the Christmas tree this holiday season.

Review the seller's details before purchasing - you can check their ratings and comments about them. Don't be afraid to ask questions before you pay.

A good source for finding local deals is local classifieds apps like Craigslist, letgo, and Facebook Marketplace. Don't forget to be safe: meet the seller in a public place (or better yet, take someone with you) and inspect the item before handing over money for it.
