10. Pantry Check – Grocery List
Pantry Check is a great app that will help you stay on top of your budget while keeping track of all the items you have in your household. As you shop, scan the barcode of each item you’ve bought to get an accurate price and plan the amount of money you want to spend.

The app will send you a reminder the day your bill is due, so you’ll never make a late payment again!
