These free apps can help you beat back inflation

With Americans facing nearly $300 in additional monthly costs because of surging inflation, consumers are looking for ways to save money.

One way to cut grocery costs are apps such as Flipp or Ibotta, CNET Money editor-at-large Farnoosh Torabi told CBS News. 

"These are two free apps where you can store your grocery reward programs, but more importantly these apps will also tell you what's on sale and where the coupons are," she said. "The days of cutting coupons are long gone, and these apps have really replaced that behavior."
