I wouldn't describe myself as "lazy" -- but I think "efficient" is probably a better word. I don't want to venture from my beloved nearby strip mall unless a deal is absolutely too good to be true (and I've recently found inexpensive gasoline to get me there, as well). So I tried out the GeoQpons app, which boasts that it can bring up all of the deals within a few miles of your house (hence the "Geo" part of the title, I presume).
Fortunately, the app was entirely true to its claims -- in just seconds, it allowed me to find five deals in one day just at my little strip mall. Granted, two of them were pizza bargains and I wasn't going to eat lunch twice -- but at least I had some options. In a nutshell, you tell the app where you are, and it tells you the deals nearby (and how to get there using turn-by-turn directions).
I happen to love the GPS features on phone apps. Although I've lived in my town for over seven years, I still get lost, and app GPS capabilities are a huge positive for me. I read recently that some retailers are even offering in-store GPS options, so if you can't find your way from housewares to lingerie, you just pop up the app on your phone and you're on your way. Macy's, for example, recently launched an app that allows you to find your way around its stores. Unfortunately, however, that app doesn't yet walk you to the clearance rack.
And that's why GeoQpons is so great to have. Not only does it lead me to the bargains, it does so right in my town, saving me money and time.
