Here is a list of shopping tools that can save you money and time.
These are sites I've used myself and was happy about using. Please let me know if you have additions or suggestions.
The suggestions fall into several main categories: Deals, Price Comparison, and Phone Apps.

Honorable Mentions: Other Resources Worth Checking
This is a great list and I’d like to add a category: cash back sites. I like http://www.lilideals.com because they offer coupons (like retailmenot) along with cash back percentages as high as 25% (varying according to retailer). You can combine offers which can ultimately make for a much better deal. LiliDeals also gives you a head start on your cash back reward by giving you $5 just for signing up (you get $5 for each of your friends too).
