Filter by $

This is one of the quickest, easiest ways to save money using the Yelp app. Want the step-by-step? Search for whatever category or service you’re looking for and filter by the dollar sign at the top of the page. To further customize your search, filter by neighborhood or ‘Open Now’. You can generate tailored-to-you results and save some cash in the process.

Check-In Offers

Need to find the perfect place for a first date or want to wow your family with an amazing meal on a budget? Search for spots with check-in offers. It’s easy. Open the Yelp app and hit ‘More Categories’. Scan the list of categories on the next page until you find ‘Check-In Offers’. Click on each business to see their individual offers until one strikes your fancy. Now all you need to do is get to the business to redeem the offer. Luckily, there’s a map built into each business page to help you figure out how to get there. There’s never been a more convenient way to save money.

Yelp Deals

With everything from salons to self-storage and coffee shops to chiropractors, saving money is a cakewalk. Yelp Deals allows you to search for local businesses offering a discount on select services. Open the Yelp app and click on ‘More Categories’. Tap ‘Deals’ and start scrolling through the offers. To personalize your search further, you can filter by ‘Price’, ‘Online Booking’, and ‘Open Now’. Sleuth out the best bang for your buck and watch the savings roll in.
