11 Gadgets That Save You Money

4) A Tablet

Tablets are great tools that all too often get relegated to doing nothing more than checking Facebook or playing Candy Crush even though they are capable of so much more. In many ways, tablets are a jack of all trades. Much of the work that can be done on a desktop computer can also be done on a tablet, increasing productivity. Some apps allow digital copies of movies to be downloaded to the device, making it a virtual portable DVD player. People can watch movies without either eating up their data or paying for internet while traveling.

One of the best money saving uses for a tablet is as an e-reader. Many college textbooks have cheaper e-book versions, and sometimes those e-texts have a rental option. As expensive as some textbooks are, even an iPad can pay for itself in just a few semesters. For the casual reader, there are numerous free e-books at your disposal with a few simple clicks.
