free apps

If you recall, I shared a new time and money-saving app a few weeks ago called Chuze. Hopefully some of you have had a chance to give Chuze a try for yourself already, but if not, here’s a fantastic reason to check it out right now…

For a limited time, Chuze has a great Halloween coupon bundle available that will help you save big on any Halloween party and costume purchases you still need to make! When you download the FREE Chuze app for Android or iPhone and type Halloween Bundle into your grocery list, you’ll get the following four exclusive coupons:

• 20% off your purchase of $70 or more at Party City
• $0.75/1 Duncan Hines Decadent Cake Mix (any flavor)
• $0.50/1 Duncan Hines Frosting (any flavor)
• $0.50/1 Duncan Hines Signature Cake, Brownie or Cookie Mix*

But you’ll need to take advantage of these savings soon — the Party City coupon is only good through 10/31, and the Duncan Hines coupons expire not long after!

If you have a minute, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Chuze either in the comments or via email. I’m happy to pass any feedback you have along to the developers so that we can really maximize all of the potential this tool has for helping us save time and money at the grocery store!

*P.S. I use the Duncan Hines Signature Cake Mixes in my homemade Easy Bake Oven refill mixes. This should make for a great deal!

I’ve got a dirty little secret, and I think it’s about time I come clean… I hate grocery shopping.

There, I said it! There are at least a hundred things I’d rather do instead, including unclogging the kids’ toilet for the 8th time this week and scouring the lime buildup in our master bathroom shower.

I’ve tried sending my husband to the store for me (because he’d actually rather shop than clean), but then I end up getting at least 7 phone calls asking where this item is or what size/brand/color/flavor I want of that item. Can you relate?

If so, I’m sure you’ll be as excited as I was to learn about Chuze, a new smartphone app available for IOS and Android. It’s revolutionized the way I create a grocery list and streamlined how I shop from it.

“Chuze puts time back into your day, money back into your wallet, and a sense of discovery back into the grocery shopping experience.”

How Chuze Saves Time & Money At The Grocery Store

Though Chuze is still in beta and working out a few kinks, it’s fast becoming one of my favorite money-saving apps. Take a look at these features that are currently available, and I think you’ll agree:

• Adding items to my shopping list is so easy my 7-year-old can do it! Simply scan the barcode on any item with your smartphone, and Chuze adds that exact brand, flavor, size, etc. to your shopping list.
• Save money with coordinating coupons. While there are only a few coupons available currently, this has the potential to be HUGE for lazy couponers (including myself at this life stage). Chuze will automatically match your list with available coupons and/or suggest alternate brands that have a coupon instead.
• Chuze lets you share your list with family members. See what I’m getting at here? Exactly what I want gets purchased — no matter who is doing the shopping. I added my husband and all 5 kids to my master list, and anyone can add items or shop from it.
• AND when it’s time to shop, chuze organizes your list by aisle. I can’t even tell you how convenient this feature is. Even without the coupons, this app is totally worth it just to be able to find everything quickly and easily!

If you’re a visual sort of person, this video gives a great overview of the Chuze app:

Now if only they could make my grocery store that empty when I shop! Right?
