It's costing you more to feed your family, the price of the basics like milk, cheese and bread continue to go up. So you can't afford to waste money at the grocery store!
You can't afford to waste time either! Have you ever walked out of the grocery store with a huge bill and even though you spent all that money when you get home you realize you didn't even get what you really needed!?! With gas prices the way they are, you definitely don't want to turn around and drive back to the store!
Well now there's a gadget that will make sure that doesn't happen again. The SmartShopper will definitely save you time and aggravation and maybe money too!
SmartShopper is a voice recorder with voice recognition software that attaches to a refrigerator with magnets or mounts onto a wall. It keeps your shopping list stored, just press the button and say the item you run out of as you go about your week. Then, when you're ready to go shopping just press print and the list prints out by categories (deli, meats, frozen foods, vegetables, baking goods, etc), which saves you time and makes for a faster shopping experience. You can indicate quantity, mark it with a coupon to remind you that you have a coupon for that item. It operates on standard AA batteries, uses thermal paper which doesn't require ink cartridges or replacements.
Here's the catch - it costs $149.
Is it worth it? Depends on how you use it. Experts say you are destined to overspend on groceries if you don't shop with a list but the SmartShopper could help pay for itself if it helps you stick to your list and only buy what you need (not what you're hungry for at that moment!)
