This App is ACTUALLY Going to Help Your Holiday Budget

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

With the holidays around the corner and your budget tight, it is easy to stress about our personal finances. But with Honey, the most wonderful app of the year, you can cut stress and save time shopping. 

Here’s how:

Honey Works with Google’s Chrome to save you Money

Honey is an app that you can download in minutes to your Google Chrome browser. It will pop up in the top right corner of your browser. The logo will turn orange when you’re on a website that it might be able to save you money on. Click on it at any time to see your profile or learn more about how it works. When you’re making a purchase, Honey will pop up and help you save!

It Searches the Web for Coupons

The days of couponing are OVER! Honey will look for coupons for you. Every time you make a purchase, the app will pop up, prompting you to let it help you save money. If you agree (which we don’t know why you wouldn’t!), Honey will search the Internet for all public coupon codes at that store. It tries all codes and if they work, it applies them to your purchase. Check out the screenshot above! Honey saved someone almost $170 on a pair of Coach Boots from Macy’s. That bag you’ve had your eye on just became affordable.

It gets you Cash Back

Gone are the days where only a credit card could get you cash back. When you purchase something online from certain retailers with the help of Honey, the app gives you cash back. You can receive between 0-100% cash back for things – so we hope you’re feeling lucky! This applies to thousands of stores that are affiliated with Honey, and it’s all free. The stores pay Honey, and Honey is kind enough to split the profits with you.

Honey lets you Redeem Points for Cash

Honey will help you get up to $1,000 back. By signing up, using their tutorial, purchasing items, and inviting friends, you get points that you can redeem for cash towards other purchases. So, yes – Honey makes money free! 

Sign up for Honey, and Happy Shopping!
