I should know better than to go to the grocery store when I’m hungry. As I wait for my turn in line, I look at my cart and realize that I have gone way overboard this time. It’s okay, I think…
The more I think about it, the more I’m not so sure that it is okay. Let me just check my balance. I don’t want any surprises at the register when I swipe my card.

Mercer Savings Bank
I pull up my Mercer Savings Bank app, and in a few clicks, I have my answer. Whew! I’ll have to make these groceries last a while.
What else does this app do? It looks like I can transfer money between my accounts, pay bills, and even deposit a check with my phone. That’s great. I can take care of all of my banking while I’m waiting in line at the grocery store.
What I really need is an app to help me do better managing my money. Let me see which budgeting apps have the best ratings.
