I Took a Shot at Couponing and Saved Money Using Apps

I was walking down the freezer aisle at SuperTarjay for our regular weekly grocery shopping and passed this cart parked on the side. Nothing unusual about a parked cart I thought, but what got my attention was this huge, transparent plastic file folder sitting on the cart's "baby carrier" compartment filled with tons of coupons! I immediately looked around to see who this dedicated couponer was, simply to satiate my curiosity. I saw an older couple by the dairy section, flipping through a pile of coupons trying to find the right one for the item they were going to purchase. I was speechless. That's pure smart shopping right there! Ironically, I can't see myself doing coupons that way. I can't keep up with even the few coupons I have. That day, I even forgot all the coupons I meant to bring. Talk about total fail! But there was hope - or savings - to be had in my horizon!

This feature is called {NFC} Near Field Communication using {RFID} Radio Frequency Identification. My old Nokia phones had IR port that does the same feature and I obviously miss that. But wish no more. There is an app that does just that. Bump!

Yes bump. Not as famous as Princess Kate's bump but awesomely useful bump no less!

Tech Talk : Best Mobile Photo Watermark Apps for your Smartphones



With the recent controversy surrounding Instagram's controversial TOS and with the upcoming implementation of Facebook Graph and the rampant image theft online, as a parent, I'm mortified of the thought of regularly posting pictures of my child online without proper precautionary measures.
