Shopping with Swirl (Photos)

There's a pretty recent app that I came across called "Swirl" that you'll want to check out! For all of the shopping gurus out there who just love a good sale and updated trends at your favorite stores, this is the app for you. It is almost like creating your own individualized index of products and special offers from brands like H&M, DSW, Old Navy, Victoria's Secret, LOFT, Macy's and more!

Every time you log-in on your device there is a list of offers at the stores (that you'll select once you create a profile) within the store and online savings. For instance, today is President's Day so a lot of retailers have select items on clearance or with a specific percentage off. For my own Swirl store offers, today at Forever 21 I could save up to 70% off selected items. Score! Swirl also gives you the sale dates for the duration of the bargains. Think of it as a portable shopping resource that you can take with you using your phone or a tablet if you have one.

At the bottom of the screen within the app you'll see 5 tabs to help you navigate around what you're looking for. The "Shop Nearby" tab gives you a listing of stores in the area you are in and the sales that are going on. This tab is helpful if you are out and about shopping but you don't quite know where to go and where the discounts are. You'll also be able to widen your location by changing the miles range, just in case if you're in an area where no retailers are nearby.

Another good thing about the Swirl app is you can save your searches or "clip" items that interest you then come back to them, plus you can follow other shoppers like yourself and see their recent activity of collections they like. You'll also be able to create a collection of items that you may want to purchase in the future or design a fun "Wishlist" sort of collection.

Swirl can be found through Apple's "App Store" if you own an i-Phone. Check your device or tablet if you do not own an Apple product to see if Swirl is available to download. You shall see, it's shopping made better, right at your fingertips!
