Tried it…SmartShopper…win it for yourself…
The SmartShopper Grocery List Organizer…mom’s best friend! This nifty little contraption might be the only thing in your house that listens to you all of the time. When mine arrived, I stuck it to my refrigerator (with the great magnets that are on the back of it) and began creating my list. Simply press record and say the name of the product that you want to enter on your shopping list. The magic happens when you go to print the list out. The best part is that you just push the print button and your list prints out like a receipt – no cumbersome downloading…which I am not good at. The printed list is divided into categories – from errands & produce to condiments and frozen food. There is a place for everything. You can even “flag” certain items with a little coupon icon so you remember that you have a coupon for a particular product. My family and I even tried to stump the SmartShopper by putting in really weird items and seeing if it was one of the 2,500 preloaded items in it’s database. Yes, pigs feet is in the database 
This is so handy for me! My husband will often call out from the kitchen telling me what we need more of…now he can talk to the SmartShopper instead (and she won’t even nag him).
SmartShopper gave me a unit to giveaway to one of my readers! Because of their generosity I would love for you to pay them a visit and checkout the SmartShopper on their site. To enter the contest simly leave me a comment on this post. I would love to hear your thoughts on this product. I will use a random number generator to choose a winner on Thursday at 5 pm and announce the winner on Friday. Good luck & tell your friends to enter too!

This would be the ideal addition to my kitchen…my teenagers are TERRIBLE at writing anything down, or it being legible or I get just the description of the item. I actually like pigs feet…good to know they are in there…what about pickled eggs?

We always struggle to find pen and paper to make “the list”. I’ve tried paper list, wipe board list, making a list on the computer. Just getting orginized is work. This on the other hand looks easy enough for the husband and kids to use. No more forgetting something because they didn’t want to be bothered to put it on the list.
This would also make a great gift for my mother. She is always running to the store because she forgot something.
