Google Shopper is an app that lets you scan barcodes of items in stores, to see if there is a better price available online.

With so many businesses offering reward programs, sometimes it can be hard to keep track of programs you participate in. Award Wallet is an app that tracks and monitors your loyalty reward points in programs like frequent flier miles and credit card points. It can also send you an alert anytime you have points that are close to expiring.
