Money-Saving iPhone Apps

Need a quote on a car repair, a map of local yard sales, access to your checking account, or an impromptu price search? There's an app for that, and it can save you cash.

Apple recently announced that its Mobile App Store now offers 225,000 apps. Among them are some cutting-edge mobile tools that empower on-the-go consumers with information that can help them save money on things like gas, groceries and loans.
