My Husband likes to say that I live on my phone. It’s true I do. I use my phone for so much more than talking. My phone is sort of like my personal assistant/business partner. Since I’m always on the go I rely on my phone to help me get things done, quick, fast and in a hurry. This is why it’s so important that we have a great data plan so that no matter where I am I can be in tuned into the know. If you’re looking for a smartphone that fits nicely into the family budget head over to Walmart. I’ve found that since I use so much data the Walmart Family Mobile plan is one of the best plans around. You can get unlimited Talk, Text, and data for as low as $29.99. This includes 500MB of 4G LTE data a month! This equates to huge savings every month and falls right into place with my Broke on Purpose goals for the Month of April. One way I stay organized is by using Apps on my Alcatel Fierce 2! Apps will seriously save your life and so I’ve put together a list of the top apps for Fiances, Blogging, Photography, and Fitness!

Top Apps for Shopping:
Shopping online is so much more phone than shopping in a store. I mean how else can you shop in your pajamas and still snag some of the best deals? I have several apps on my phone that I use for shopping, but my most used are Amazon, Shopbop, Walmart Savings Catcher, Nordstroms, and of course PoshMark! PoshMark is a great app that allows you to Buy and Sell fashion all from the comfort of your phone. I use my data to keep up with what’s going on in my closet and to interact with buyers while I’m on the go. The great thing about many store apps is that they offer discounts on your phone that you don’t get in store. You can also use your data to utilize the Walmart Savings Catcher App while in the store. Just scan your receipt and if an item is being offered for a lower price at another store you get that difference on a Walmart Gift card.
I have tons of apps on my phone as you can see from the picture below although this doesn’t include phone related apps. I try to keep them organized based on the category so that I can get to them easily.
Top Apps For Blogging:
WordPress: Blog on the go! I love the WordPress app because it allows you to access your site remotely and write a post, make changes and make changes on the go.
Google Analytics: Keep track of your site’s page views and where people are visiting your site from.
Buffer/Hootsuite: Schedule your social media updates on the go!
Bitly: Allows you to shorten links and track how many times they are clicked and where they are clicked from.
Top Apps for Fitness:
PopSugar Active: PopSugar active is a great app if you’re looking for a fitness routine that you can do at home or in the gym.
Nike Running: Track your miles or join a competition with the Nike Run App.
Nike Training Center: Do you have 15 minutes and want to get in shape? Log into the Nike Training Center for quick workouts that pack a punch.
Top Apps for Finances
Dave Ramsey: want to get control of your finances but don’t know where to start? This app while help you do it.
Paypal: Access your PayPal account through their app. Send invoices or make payments easy.
Your Bank App i.e, Bank of America/Chase
Top Apps for Photography
SnapSeed: Create photoshop quality photos from the comfort of your phone
VSCOcam: Want to look like a professional photographer? Use this app to edit all your photos.
Instasize: Instantly resizes your photos to fit that small Instagram window. You can even add text.
ColorSplash: Go from Color to Black and White or Black and White to color with this nifty photo editing app.
Google Maps is another great way to use your data on the go. Since I’m against using my phone while driving I pull up directions while I’m parked and I have immediate access to my new shopping spot, a meeting, or to a new restaurant.
