Makin A List

Our grocery bill is HUGE and my boys aren't even teenagers yet! I think part of the problem is I don't really have a plan before I shop & I just end up adding things as I go a long. Someone suggested to me that I should start making a list before I go to store and stick to it! My only problem with making a list is that I try to write it all at once & I still forget things that I need. I've been trying out this nifty SmartShopper Grocery List Maker and it has worked great! It's right on my refrigerator & when I run out of something, I just press record, speak into it and it records the items that I need. When I'm ready to attempt the grocery store I just print it off and take it with me. It organizes everything into categories. So trips to the store are much faster & I've been saving money by planning ahead. They only thing I have to be careful of, is my kids adding things we don't need... well and my husband for that matter, I think he's lovin this new gadget more than me:)

This would help my family to let me know when we run out of something.

That looks like such a cool gadget. That would be so handy to have.

Kathy S said...

What do I think? Well gee, it's amazing that I can think at all anymore...when I make out my grocery list, I leave it on the kitchen counter! This amazing invention would really help me out a lot not to forget things since it has 2500 items stored in it, and I would love to own this...never again would I be forgetting my handwritten list..the SmartShopper would be my pride and joy!

wgbc1446 said...

This sounds like a great product. I think it could help me cut down on my grocery bill!

Betty C said...

I save coupons then impulse shop and rarely use the coupons. I need help. I think if I had my list I could plan ahead better and not only use my coupons but then I wouldn't forget the things I need.

The to-do list is the feature that appeals to me the most with the SmartShopper. I am always forgetting to mail a letter or go to bank. I don't like to waste gas going back to town.

kaylee8 said...

I think this is a fabulous idea that is much easier to use and keep a list with than the traditional pen and paper and that it would make a wonderful gift!

mogrill said...

Really great idea! I am ALWAYS trying to remember things on my list! What a time saver!!

Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway! I absolutely love the Smartshopper grocery list maker. It makes live so much easier for so many of us. Would love to give it a try!!

angie said...

This is so cool. I usually forget half of what I need when I am at the grocery store. This would save me time and return trips for the forgotten items.

Real cool prize.

I love that it has no printer cartridge which means I don't have to replace it!!!

I am the world's worst grocery shopper....constantly buying stuff I don't need (my pantry is stocked with duplicate items) and forgetting the things that are critical. Would love to have something like this to help me shop more wisely!

Unknown said...

I'm always forgetting things I need at the store. If this can eliminate the need to keep running back and forth, it is a fantastic product! I think my favorite feature, though, is that it organizes the items into catagories. I've tried that on my own and ended up taking more time make the list than doing the shopping!

laralin2266 said...

I could really use this to keep track the groceries I need! I'm so unorganized!

Anonymous said...

It would help me be better organized during grocery shopping which would mean less time spent shopping.

Modbe said...

Maybe I would actually make a list if I had this rockandroll friend! hook me up!

rdazer said...

this is pretty cool...we always miss something when making a list

chazvgo said...

I think this look great and would help me out a bunch :)

I think that this has to be one of the greatest creations ever! I hope to win~

This would be so practical . Any time I try to make out a list, I end up setting it down and leaving it behind. Since this it is bigger , it'd be harder to loose.

JOYVEN said...

would love to try this - always forget something when I'm at the store

Mel said...

Maybe I could actually stay within my budget with this tool!

Danielle said...

I think it's a great way to keep organized and make an already stressful life less stressful!

Samantha P said...

this sounds so awesome, it's easy to use so that when you realize that you need something it's easy to make a note of it instead of actually writing it down on a list (that i can never find)

would definitely save many trips!

How many things can I say I love about the smart shopper and I want one, all of them. I have teens and their favorite thing is to tell me when I’m busy what they need or what from the store and my number one saying in my house is:
GO WRITE IT ON THE SHOPPING LIST..
which is hanging on our fridge. They never do, so we’re at the store and needless to say it doesn’t get purchased. My husbands comment if I send him to the store I didn’t see that wrote on the list. This would save my family nightmare, as it seems so simple even my husband could do it.
Oh please make me a winner and save my grocery sanity.
Thank you

Happy Holidays.

Making a list...checking it twice...oh darn I left the list at home!
It would be so nice to record what I need and forget all about writeing it down on all kinds of different lists then leaving it at home lol

arvard said...

I could really use this becuase I am always making lists and then losing them.

great, no more loose paper to carry around

This would definitely be a step up from my pad and pen next to the fridge!

I'm so tired of forgetting or losing my lists, or misreadinging someone's handwriting (or my son's spelling) on lists on the 'fridge. This should help a lot!

Jeanette J said...

I just know it would help to make me more organized. I usually come home with something I don't need or something I have already and this should help stop that

jo1brat said...

I love this = i hate grocery shopping to begin with and I always forget stuff this would be so helpful

Helen said...

I think it's fantastic because we always lost the list midweek and end up forgetting certain key items.

Anikka W. said...

I have heard great things about the Smart Shopper! I would use this to keep track of what i actually need so there is less wasted food in our house.

I always start a list as soon as we get back from the grocery store (always forget something). Then I have 10 or 12 lists that I leave around the house. Would be great to have it in one spot.

Great concept...never forget that item you really needed again. I can't even count how many times I've gone shopping and returned home only to realize I had forgotten a much needed item.

Thanks for the great giveaway.
