If you're on the hunt for an awesome deal, check out one or more of these best coupon apps and get ready to shop---and save!

1. Groupon

Groupon is a popular coupon app with deals worldwide. Check out featured coupons, browse by service or category, mark your favorites, and share deals with friends.

You'll find coupons for everything from restaurants to shows to theme parks to products. If you select a category, such as Goods, for example, you can filter your results. Choose a subcategory, pick a brand, sort by price, and more.

Use the coupons you find to make purchases directly in the app. You'll be amazed at the types of savings you can enjoy with Groupon.
