  1. We try to organize by the location in the store. We keep a list on the kitchen counter as items run out and then re write them in the order they are placed in the store. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.

  3. I’d LOVE to win this!!

    Right now I too am jotting things here, there and everywhere and it makes me crazy!! I could really use this!

  4. Wow, This is an incredibly cool giveaway! This has got to be the coolest gadget! Thank you for counting me in.

  10. My way of organizing is just to write things down before I shop, having something that would make it convenient to add things as I run out would rock!

  11. I have a little black zippered notebook type day planner it just has a tablet on one side and the other side can hold my cards (debit, id’s, etc…) I keep it by my side and when I am cooking or meal planning I will write down what I need on the tablet and then it is all right there when I go to the store. It works really well for me.

  15. Checked out the Demo Video… Makes me want one more than I did before now LOL

    Thanks!
    Toni-Lynn

  16. Currently we write our grocery list on one of those notepads with the magnet that sticks on the fridge. And often run into the store and forget something. This thing looks super cool so I would love to win it!

  17. I totally went and read all about this!!! I am getting one for my mother!!

    Angies last blog post..Lovin these blog giveaways

  19. I sooo need one of these. I check my kitchen, write my menu, write my ingredients needed, then make a list organized by sections in the grocery store…

    Angies last blog post..Lovin these blog giveaways

  20. i usually cut coupons and then just make my list from there. sometimes i don’t even make a list and it drives me nuts when i forget something, so the electronic list would be a life saver for me! thanks so much for the giveaway!

    you da moms last blog post..Movies

  21. And I’ve twittered :) One of these woul definitely help keep me organized for my shopping.

    Jessis last blog post..Give Away – 1 Year Family Fun Subscription!

  22. I’ve seen the demo on this one a few times and I would definitely love one!!

    Jessis last blog post..Give Away – 1 Year Family Fun Subscription!

  28. I just read and watched your demonstration: Take Control of your lists with SmartShopper and commented on it. Very enlightening!

    Thanks again! : )))

  29. It’s heartbreaking to admit that sometimes I don’t even organize a list and just go by memory only to come home realizing that I’ve forgotten one or two things. So, back to the store I go.

    As you can imagine, I so love this genius gadget for the order it brings to shopping!

    Thanks so much for this fabulous give~away! : )))

    leahita[at]gmail[dot]com

  30. I use normally the back of envelopes or blank paper laying around! Not very organized at all!!

  31. I used a pen and paper to write my list. Unfortunately I always leave something off. This would be great to win

  32. I have a notepad in a drawer and when I need something I write it down. THere is no orger to it.

  38. My wife organizes the grocery list for me.
    Moreover, just as I am going to hand my card to the shopkeeper, I always get a call from her with a request for something she had forgotten.
    I politely ask people standing behind me in the queue to wait just one more minute, and I sprint through the whole store just to grab something that’s by the nature of this universe ALWAYS lies at the furthest corner.

  43. this is my first time reading your blog, and so far i like what i see. as far as orginize my grocery list.. i have like 20 because i always forget where i put the last one and start all over and then end up having to throw away tons of scrap paper with scribbles and stuff all over it cause i doodle on the paper when i cant remember what i need. i use coupons so sometimes its a hassle when i have a ton of papers with different things and i cant remember what i actually need so i end up over buying or i forget to buy what i actually went to the store for in the first place. so yes.. i am a mess when it comes to grocery shopping. this product looks amazing and i could really use one.. thanks for posting it.

  48. Organize? Shopping lists are supposed to be organized?!

    *G*

    I make EVERY attempt to do that…but it just doesn’t happen and I find myself going round in circles at the store. I’ve been dying to get one of these!!

    Sarahs last blog post..So that’s why they call it a “work” out…

  49. I currently organize my grocery list “on paper.” I make a list of recipes for 3-5 days, handwrite my list, and bring it along with me to the grocery store. It’s not the best process, but it’s better than shopping without a list!

    I love that the SmartShopper “categorizes” your items. That would really make my grocery shopping experience more pleasant. I hate it when I get through the whole store only to realize I forgot the [fill-in-the-blank].

    Oh, did I mention I hate grocery shopping? When I’m rich and famous, I’m going to have my groceries delivered to my door. But until then…I think the Smart Shopper would make that chore less “painful.”

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway! :)

  54. Well I relied a lot on family and friends for the past 10 months to remind me of things that I needed done. I fell last March and bounced my head off the thick Ice in my drive way I landed completely on my head and couldn’t hear for about an hour or so and didn’t walk right for a few days do to a concussion and since then I have had trouble remembering things. My co-worker and good friend would call me to remind me of schedules and such to keep me on track and my family would call me on my cell to remind me what to pick up and a few other close friends called me all the time to remind me to do this or that. They all knew I couldn’t remember stuff at all so they did their best to keep me straight.I’m much better but still very forgetful so I stick a sticky to my visor in my car and every time I run out of something that I need to pick up I add it to the sticky note. Then in the next day or so I pull the sticky off run into the store and pick up what’s on the list. Of course if I’m in the house when I think of something we need and don’t run out to my car to write it down I end up forgetting to put it on the list. Then I end up making a special trip to the store. Today it was for Cat Food. I guess my method isn’t full proof yet lol , It’s better since I used to have to run to the store 2 or 3 more times for forgetting items now it’s only about once a week. This would be wonderful because I could keep it on me at all times and use it for remembering everything not just my grocery list. Thanks for Sharing~

    Rhonda Martins last blog post.."7 Ways to Save"

  55. I keep a separate list for each store according to what’s on sale in their sales paper. Then I coordinate my coupons with which list I can get the better price at.

  58. My husband actually does th grocery shopping and we keep a small pad of paper on the kitchen table and when I think of something we need, I write it on the list. The problem is that he likes a different list for each store and sometimes what I write doesn’t get put on the right list. This is an ongoing problem for us so the Smart Shopper could really make our lives easier! Thank you for the chance to win!

  61. I am not sure you can call it organized but I do it on paper based on the store location.

    Kristis last blog post..Vote for my good friend please.

  62. This would be fabulous! I used to use my Palm to just jot down my list, but it was always hard to put it in any kind of order. Now I just carry a written paper list and hope I didn’t forget anything…how 19th century!

  63. My shopping is spread out throughout the week. It helps me to get out of the house everyday so I don’t get in that “stay in my nightgown all day and don’t shower” stage. So on Sunday, I go out and buy my newspapers and come home and clip coupons. Monday is Meijer day. I print off what I need from Grocery Game, match up my coupons, then head out. Tuesday is my Kroger day. Same thing, Grocery Game, match coupons, head out. Wednesday I usually run to Walgreens just for the fun of it. I check out their discount section. On Friday if there’s a special $5 off $20 coupon or something from Walgreens, I’ll head back there.

    Danielle Millers last blog post..Summary

  70. My organization right now consists of pieces of paper I grab to jot down something I need. I TRY to keep these all in one place then put them in my pocket when I go shopping.
    jeanilynne at gmail dot com

  75. Sadly, our “organization” of our grocery shopping is bringing a cell phone with me so I can keep calling home to see what we are out of. Takes forever to shop that way!

  77. I read about the electronic grocery list/errand organizer on bargainbrianareviews.blogspot.com,what a cool device!
    It would make my life alot easier.

  79. I just recently lost my job and had to save money on everything so my family can have stuff.So I started a coupon binder to organize my shopping supplies.It has dividers,plastic baseball cards holders,pockets and a pencil pouch.People look at me in amusement,but it really works.

  80. I have not ventured into the “IT” world. I write out my list on paper and mark beside item if there is a coupon for it. I guess it makes it easier to remember items while in store too.

  90. I write items down on a refrigerator magnetic shopping list when I see that when running low. I’d love to try an electronic shopping list :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

  91. We learned to keep a notepad in Cognitive Therapy. I have trouble going from writing it all down to organizing it in order to pick the stuff up. We practiced trying to organize the list per isles in the grocery store. Alot of work. Your gadget seems neat.

  92. I make a list and I wish for this product-LOL!

    Bettinas last blog post..Happy Christmas To All And To All A Good Night!

  95. I have a special notepad that is made for grocery lists – it is divided up by the different departments in the grocery store (refrigerated, fruits/veggies, cleaning products, etc.) – so I write my list on that.

  100. well does 6 pieces of scrap paper count as a food list??LOL
    I try to be organized but then i forget something and since I dont’ have the 1st list with me i start a 2nd list and then so on and so forth.
    so I do need one of these don’t I?

    Nancys last blog post..card creations #1

  105. currently organize grocery list

    so the organize thing be great for us
    thank you
    for you r giveaway
    who ever get it i sure going to put it to good use

  108. I try to write the items I need in the order of the isles in the grocery store. That way I don’t have to backtrack and spend more time shopping than I already do.

  109. Currently, I am writing my lists in my planner. But, it is often lost. Then I use scrap paper and never find it when I go to the store…

    CindyDiannes last blog post..REMINDER: Giveaway Deadline is Looming

  110. An organized shopping list? What is that?
    I’ve been using the old pen and paper trick for years. It still sucks.

  111. We have a new baby in the house so as of right now I’m lucky if I get a real list made. ;) When I have time its more organized along with what items I have coupons for.

  114. I am a subscriber also. I carry the coupons i plan to use in an envelope in my pocketbook, the rest stay home. I make a list for items we need. Thanks

  115. I currently type off a list on my computer and just adjust it as needed. course, then if i delete something and accidentally hit “save as”, i’m in trouble!

    plus i always forget my coupons. boo!

  117. I have a white board on my fridge that I try to remember to write the things that I need on!

  120. I scour the weekly flyers and try to match up coupons to take advantage of sale prices. Then it’s pen and paper to jot a ‘to do’ list for ‘where’ ‘what’ is.

  124. I am a current subscriber which is how I found out about this giveaway

    Brians last blog post..Which would you rather do? Pay for waffles or jail?

  126. I currently keep my grocery lists on theback of old envelopes..not the most efficient way. I have been seeing these devices all over the net, and I wanna win one sooo bad!

    madamerkf at aol dot com

  127. I’m so glad you asked…..I write them down on paper the old fashioned way….then, I leave them at home when I shop!
    Cause…I forget the list almost everytime.
    Pathetic, huh?

    wandas last blog post..Fun Giveaway Links

  128. I usually make a list and then forget it at home—-so then I end up buying things on impulse, forgetting things on the list, and spending more $$$ than I should. This gadget looks awesome!

  129. I sometimes remember to make a list, most of the time I try to use my brain to remember what I need…and that NEVER works! I get home and most of the time I have to go back out to get what I need.

  130. I watched your demo. I learned that you can press “record” and it is voice-activated. COOL!

  133. My biggest challenge is remembering to take the list WITH me to the store. Organizing the list? I try to organize my hand-written piece of paper by aisle, but I usually scrunch in too many items and render it illegible. Then I add the items I think I’m going to remember without writing them down. HA! When will I learn?

  136. We currently have no system. Usually my husband does the full order, and I go back the next day to get the stuff he forgot. Duh.

  137. My current organization is sad. I scribble a list on whatever piece of paper I happen to find, usually the return envelope that comes with my bills. :)

  138. Currently, I have a master list typed up that I pull items from to make my smaller shopping list :) So pathetic! I could use something better :)

    Chis last blog post..** ALERT ** Giveaways / Contests Ending TODAY — 1/8

  139. I really don’t have much of an organized system now–just a scrap of paper on the fridge most of the time. This could really help! Thanks!

  140. Well currently I clip coupons and then make a list of the brand and type of product to buy. I end up digging in my purse usually to figure out exactly what I was supposed to get, and always forget something…
    This would make life so much easier!!!

  142. I so need one of these! I currently keep a magnetic notepad on the fridge and try to remember to write down what we need or I write on the back of scrap paper in the car on the way to the grocery store.

  147. We have a running list on the fridge that comes with, then I try to compare with which coupons I have. I always end up forgetting something though!

    Pattis last blog post..Questions answered!

  152. My grocery list is written down on a small spiral bound notebook with all the relevant coupons clipped to it. I sure could use a more high-tech way of making a list!

  154. I really like the Indie the best. It looks like it has great turning ability. What an awesome stroller. My son and his girlfriend are having a baby in June and I would LOVE to be able to get this for them. Thanks for the chance.

  157. Ok…it’s a process…really. I take the 2 flyers of the local grocery stores and I go through and circle the good deals. Then I make a list for each store, trying to organize by aisle (weird…I know.) and add on the other needed items.

    thanks!

  158. Grocery list? My life is so crazy with a new baby, it is usually scratched on a post-it note on my way home from work. As you can see…this would be a life saver!

  162. I am trying to write down a list every time I go shopping so that I don’t inadvertedly buy things I don’t need and spend money that I wasn’t intending to spend. It’s so easy to throw in “this and that” and suddenly you are way over budget. It is something I am working on and trying to get better at.

  167. Organize??? Are you kidding? I have notes on the table, notes bythe computer and when I get to the store they are both still at home! I would love to have this wonderful tool! I have finally gotten so I remember my tote bags ALMOST everytime! Thats a step up for me! Thanks!

    Rhonda Masons last blog post..Win a watch and goodies!

  168. I currently organize my grocery list? Because nobody told me! Sometimes I look at the ad online and get a tiny index card and write a few things down. Then I leave the index card by my computer until I finally throw it away. Sometimes when I’m in the kitchen I say to myself over and over “Garlic salt, garlic salt, garlic salt” like I’m calling Beetlejuice or something. I often hope this will help me remember it when I’m at the store.

    Usually, I pretty much walk around the store picking up what I want and stocking up on things on a great sale. I don’t plan meals, can you tell?

    Tammigirls last blog post..Yes! Another Contest!

  169. I usually make a list on a piece of paper and I usally spend a lot of time looking for it, because it gets lost easily! This would be great!

  172. Right now my list isn’t all that organized. We just have a pad of paper on the fridge and we write as we run out of things. Our big thing, is if you grab the last of something, you put it on the list.

  173. This would be amazing… I currently you use pen and paper and stick it to my refrigerator with a magnet! :-)

  177. Ok. I’ve been trying to win one these all over the web. But after watching your demo, I am convinced it’s the best invention created for the perpetually unorganized. I had no idea that you could add coupons to the list so you don’t forget to use them when you shop. This is such an ingenius gadget I just have to have one! Please, please, please pick me! PS – how do you get the magnet to stick to your stainless steel fridge? Nothing sticks to mine?!

  180. I currently make about 4 different lists every week for 4 different stores to get the best deals. I almost always get them messed up or lost them. This little gadget would be a HUGE timesaver. Thanks!

  182. Hello, I think this device is fabulous. Currently, my husband puts a long sheet of paper on our kitchen island and we are supposed to add grocery items that we think of during the week! Half of the time, this list gets lost and we have to start all over again. Please enter my name in your drawing. Many thanks…..Cindi

  185. I have a magnetic pad of paper on the fridge & when I run out of something, I write it down right away. Then on the actual shopping day, I gather my coupons, write everything down on the back of an envelope in order of where it is in the store, and away I go. Thanks for the chance!

    Jill Ws last blog post..Win a Bumbleride Stroller! Ends 1/30/09

  186. I always try to make a list then I keep my coupons with the list an dthen my purse gets to full of stuff and I end up pulling the list and coupons out and put them in my console in the truck on the way to the store thwn when we get there there has already been way to much drama to get everyone out and into the store that I forget the list and coupons and tehn I just wing it and spend way to much and get the things taht we do not need and forget the things we do, it is a no ending cycle! Thsi would stay in my purse all the time!

  187. I have postits, lists, grocery lists, more lists left on white board in kitchen (by kids for their requests) – then I try and compile it all into one master list – then check against that weeks circular for deals, check my coupons, attach if I have them – and off to the store I go… WHEW! It always happens that I miss some post it or list someone in this house left (where I couldn’t see it of course!) and then have to return to the store for those items! UGH!

    My grocery shopping needs some serious organization!

    Christines last blog post..Wordless Wednesday

  190. Currently I type out my list on Word while I am going through the ad :) I do the coupon matchups on my blog so I can just go back to that list when I need to go to the store.

    Heidis last blog post..Price Chopper Deals & Steals Jan 7th – Jan 13th

  191. I try to make a list but I always end up with way more than what I write down. This would be perfect for me… of course I would still end up with more than whats on the list

  194. Great review and demo! I gotta get one of these darn things. I love that you can create two separate lists if want to keep track of your errands or grocery items separately.

  195. My current list system is to rush to write down everything I need on a piece of paper right before I leave for the grocery store. Not exactly the best system, I know. It would be great if I win this, because I need some extra organization.

    Jennae @ Green Your Decors last blog post..Simply Artistic: Wool Accent Pillows by modernwool

  197. I leave a piece of paper on the fridge and add items to it as I realize we need them. Sometimes I can’t find a pen. The SmartShopper would make adding to the list a lot easier.

  198. I use the lists that Publix has in their store so it’s already broken up by aisle.

    Ashleys last blog post..A New Year

  199. Groceries…I love and yet I dread. I have a meal plan that I’ve created in excel with recipes and their related content…however I’ve struggled to organize a corresponding grocery list! :( My husband gets a word document sent to him every once in a while, begging him to pick up the stuff I found in the Meijer ad. I am in need of help! Thanks so much for the opportunity! :)

  200. I organize my lists for different grocery categories on different color post-it notes, all clipped together…I really need help! Sometimes I lose one paper on the way to the car, misplace one in the store on a shelf somewhere, drop one in the parking lot puddle, can’t read one with scribbles I made long ago…. If I win, the prize organizer would have a “wonderful appreciative newly-organized owner”!!

  201. Currently I write my list on scratch paper and hope I remember to bring it with me to the store! I know I need a better system!

    Chers last blog post..Money Made in Month of December 2008

  214. At this time it’s a mix of what’s in my head and a notebook…it varies from very little to extreem todo lists full of micro managed steps!

  215. Organize my grocery list? Whatever does THAT mean? Right now I sometimes keep a list on a dirty piece of napkin that floats around the kitchen and office until lost and I have to remember what was on it. Then I loose THAT, and have to re-remember again. Sometimes I loose that piece of paper TOO, and have to re-re-remember what was on my list. Every once in awhile, I print about 25 pages of supposed “great deals” off the internet for Safeway and Walmart and sit for about three hours with my coupons to see if I have what it takes to participate, while making a list. I’ll throw in a 5 minute meal list for the next week and whatever my husband has been shouting that we need (ugh, interupting my private coupon time again…dear grrrowl) and take that sucker to the store.

    No one, I mean NO ONE can interpret my grocery list but me! muhahahaaaaaw

    that is…if I can find it!

    Prepared Mommys last blog post..Giveaway Hour

  216. i currently organize my list very poorly!! Scraps of paper with a * next to the one I have coupons for. I would so love this item!!

  220. I usually just slap them on there as I think of what we need. It’s horrible really! But I never seem to have the time before I go to organize by category. And then I always end up crossing back and forth through the store! Ug, I really could use this!!

  221. I don’t organize my grocery list very well. I go with the sales and clip the coupons together and hope for the best. Help!

  222. I have a whiteboard on my fridge so I can write things down as we run out of them, but half the time I forget about the board when I’m making my shopping list. When I’m at the store I just have a piece of paper with the items I need.

    Carries last blog post..We have a light rail!!

  223. I watched your demonstration. It’s nice to hear your voice after reading your words for so long! It looks like a GREAT product. thanks!

  225. I currently have list after list on several notepads. I put the name of the store on top and fill out the list over several days.

  229. I usually remember to put the items I need on a post-in note, but I forget to grab it before going to the grocery! The SmartShopper sounds great, and I would love to try it! Thanks!

  230. Currently I keep my lists on notebook paper, or in my head. I’ve tried using a list feature in my recipe software, but its usually organized oddly, or the amounts are weird.

  233. I mark the ad and write notes in the blank spaces. I definitely could use something easier!

    Danielles last blog post..Giveaway Winner!

  234. I subscribe to your email feed. I like that I can get all the quick updates when I check my email!

  235. I loved watching your video on the SmartShopper. Someone can tell me how easy it is, but seeing it in action is better. Thanks.

  236. I have always used a shopping pad on my refrigerator. It has a pencil attatched so it is pretty handy. I would love to try out the SmartShopper.

  237. I use what ever scrap of paper is on my desk that is large enough after correcting the kids school for the day. Sometimes this is just the left over paper from when I print online coupons. Otherwise I cut out adds and then just put them in a envelope to remind me of what is on sale and the price. If I have a coupon, I staple it to the add. Works good till I drop the stack on the floor and the kids and I have to pick them all up and try to organize them again as to store layout. This would work great for a person like me:)

  239. Organize?? What’s that? I’m the person who goes to the store and then returns the same day or a few days later for all of the things I forgot!! Even if I do make a list, I’m ALWAYS forgetting things!

  241. My list is so far from organized! I usually jot them down on the back of an envelope or piece of paper and scratch it off as I go lol!

  244. And I watched your review…Looks easy enough! Keeping my fingers crossed!
    sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com

  245. I usually try to gether up a list at the last minute…Resulting in disasters!LOL! I run from one end of the store to the other…And I wonder why I hate shopping so much, huh?! I love that the SmartShopper groups your items into the appropriate sections…AWESOME!
    sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com

  246. One of the few things I still do the old-fashioned way. I take a piece of paper and write down the ingredients I need for that week’s meals…

  250. i have a post-it in the fridge door, and i write down stuffs that we need to buy on the nest grocery shopping!

  251. Man I would love this. Right now I write out lists by hand then match coupons then try to go back and rewrite the list in order ~ I always end up forgetting something

  253. I have a magnetic shopping list that I leave on my fridge. As I notice items we need, I add them to the list. I group the list in groups of Produce, Refrigerated/Frozen Items, Boxes/Cans, Paper/Household Products, and Other Items. This helps me when I’m going through the aisles at the store.

  254. I usually make a list on a piece of paper. For some reason I still forget what is on my list. I will love to win this..Thank you very much for the opportunity

  260. How do I organize my grocery list? I don’t, that is the problem. I usually work off the coupons I have compiled and from what my memory tells me is on sale. Sad, I know. I really could use the Smartshopper!

  262. I usually print out a list from thegrocerygame.com plus various blog posts listing great deals. Then I end up marking them up with what coupons I have and my planned scenarios. It’s a mess and I need a better way to do it!

    Sydnis last blog post..New interesting website

  263. I just write everything on a list as I think of it and try and collect my coupons that match my list and go to the store…. not very organized! Thanks.

  264. I currently just write down what I can remember and fly by the seat of my pants in the store. A smartshopper is exactly what I need! (hard to type with fingers crossed!) Shamrocker99~aol~com

  266. I have two small photo albums — one for foods the other for meds/paper products, etc. Sort in the little slots the pictures go in…I then have envelopes and have things pulled and ready for each store I go to…I’ll take ALL my coupons with me but the envelopes help me to remember what deals I wanted to for sure hit!!
    .

  267. Right now I use an envelope and jot my lists on the back. That way I can tuck any coupons inside. I have a separate envelope for each store so that I can keep my coupons separate.

  271. I LOVE that! I am a listaholic. Currently, I try to squeeze my grocery list onto my daily to-do lists in the notebooks that I make. But I have dreamy visions of slipping the list inside of my notebook before I head out. Love it!

    Julies last blog post..and hellloooo 2009!

  273. I now use any paper or post-its for my lists. Since couponing I’ve gone to a notebook so that I don’t loose my list. I’d love to try this to become more organized.

  276. Really, all I do is write things down on a notepad when I run out. The pad is on my bar.

    Sonya Sparkss last blog post..Look at what I won From Kristen’s Custom Creations!

  277. I use blogs to find out what the best deals are for RiteAid, CVS, and Walgreens, and then cut and base the info into individual sheets for each drug store. I then clip my coupons to the individual sheets so I’m ready to go when I get to the store.

  278. I just try to make a list when I get hungry and can’t find anything to eat. I really need this :-)

  282. I just watched the video. This is way better than I imagined. Thank you so much for the ‘infomercial’! The errand list is a very impressive add-on. : )

  285. My list is usually on the back of an opened mail, ready for the trash envelope! Written in anything I can find to write with. Post-its work too. But it’s gotta be a short list! Thanks for the chance to enter!

  286. This is very cool. I do write my list and put a star next to the coupons, but this would be tons better!
    Thanks,
    Bobbi

  290. could really use this to get the new year started right with everything in its place no more scraps of paper for lists and errands.

  295. I’m a scrap piece of paper gal but I continue to keep forgetting my paper or sometimes having too many papers that I miss items, especially the ones I mean to write down and forget. So recording them on the spot would definitely help me out.

  297. I watched your demonstration, you are so good, you should be an official promoter/ advertiser for them.

  300. I just keep it in my head!! Troubling I know, sometimes I write it down when I have the time, or am feeling organised.

  303. And I’m already a subscriber to your blog :)

  304. Hey Briana,

    Awesome giveaway! I’ve read your demonstration and I’m pretty impressed with this amazing little device.

    Julies last blog post..Save Up To 75% Off @ Hickory Farms + FREE Shipping To Military Addresses

  305. I don’t know how organized it is, but I have a pad of paper and a pencil on the fridge and I try to jot down what we need as I go…usually I end up leaving the list on the fridge when I go to the store though LoL! Great giveaway…thanks for the chance to win!

  306. I just write everything I’m going to buy from all three stores I shop at on one piece of paper using separate columns. I make sure I star items I have a coupon for and write the amount to the side. I usually try to guesstimate how much I’ll be spending so I can keep it close to my budget as possible. Plus if I see something at a great price, I can snatch it up if I have room in my budget.

  308. What organization?? I usually write my list on a piece of paper anf then either lose it or get about half way to the store and realize that I forgot it. Then I end up always forgetting what I had wrote down.

  313. I normally plan out my meals, look in my cabinet to see what I have already and then make my list from there.

  315. I write(and rewrite) my list on paper.I put the coupon amount in parentheses and next to that I put the (sale) price.Also in front of the item I put how many to buy.

  318. Just watched your demo. The SmartShopper is great for us who forget to write down an item we need because we can’t find a pen or paper.

  319. I really like this giveaway! I am not very organized and I just jot down with pen and paper.But, my goal for the new year is to be more organized and sufficiant.

  320. This is kinda funny: I write our list on a notepad on the fridge and then I always leave it at home and go by memory at the store. Sometimes when I don’t forget to bring it-it ends up in my pocket until we are checking out! Thanks for the opportunity!

  322. I use the old standby of pen and paper presently but would love the product!

    Amys last blog post..soap nuts!! Really!!

  323. I typically either try to keep my grocery list in my head (which rarely works) or I write the items on a scratch paper. The latter method usually doesn’t help me either because I either can’t read my own writing or I loose the list. I could definately use this Smart Shopper to help me out!

  324. I write my grocery store list in a 3×5 memo book. I attach coupons for that store to a 3×3 piece of paper and put in an envelope. My drug store list are on a 3×3 piece of paper with coupons in another envelope. Other coupons are in envelopes by catagory. It kind of works for me except I must look at all the envelopes in all the stores so I don’t miss a sale or coupon. The SmartShopper would save me a lot of time making my list and shopping. Thanks!

  325. Right now, my kindergardner makes out the list. He uses phonics to make the list and whatever he has that’s handy to write with. I try and do the shopping because DH thinks everything has to be spelled correctly and he freakes if he can’t figure something out. I just skip it if neither son can figure out what it was. Oh, if we win we’ll still be able to use the groceries for practice. We have to do exercises to strenghten the hands!

    Happy New Year!

  329. I would love this product. I am the worlds worst at making list. I have scraps of paper everywhere with partial lists on them. I have 3 kids and this would make my life so much easier. I love you site!

  331. I use post it notes and scrap pieces of paper (they are constantly getting lost). I could really use this. Thanks for offering the give aways.

  332. I put your button on my blog! I’d love to win this!

    Keelings last blog post..Cinnamon Rolls!

  333. I keep a notebook where I add items to my list as needed. The notebook has a pocket where i put corresponding coupons

    Keelings last blog post..Cinnamon Rolls!

  334. I currently write my list down according to the layout of the store. Ex. Frozen items first, milk last.

  341. I currently keep a magnetized list on my fridge for things that we discover we need throughout the week. Then, I add items to my list based on my mealplan, and lastly I enter stockup items based on the Grocery Game’s list.

    Corrie @ “Cents”able Mommas last blog post..Walgreens and Rite Aid Trip this Week

  346. I would love this. Currently, I write a list on an envelope, and put coupons in the envelope…or just write list on a scrap of paper.

  352. I make list on scrap paper. Often I forget to take the list with me. I think this is a cool tool.

  355. I used to write down lists and lose them everywhere, but I recently got a magnetic wipe board (for free!) and stuck it to the fridge. As I run out of things, or someone in the house mentions something that they’re craving, I write down the name on the board. This also lets me erase what I bought if I just make small trips to the local CVS.

  358. I am a list person! I MUST write everything down to remember it. I currently jot down a list on any piece of paper I can find! Then I leave them on the counter and by the time I get ready to go to the store, one of my four kids has moved, written on , or thrown my list away. This would help me get organized!!!

  360. I make my list on a wipe board on the fridge and then jot it down on paper when I head to the store. I usually organize it by sectionof the store- and if I’m heading out with coupons (which these days I am!) I put a star next to the item- so that I can refer to the coupon (and not forget to use it!). Would love to win this!! thanks!

  363. My current organization is pretty limited to grocery and non-grocery items (food items vs. trash bags, dish soap, etc.) Then I pull whatever coupons I think might pertain for this trip. Would love to be more organized!

    Susan S.s last blog post..Hello Hal!

  369. I just go by my coupons,but that has me running all over the store. I like that the Smart Shopper categorizes the items. Must save a ton of time!

  371. I wait to get my flyers in the mail and then I take my pad and pen and go through my pantry, cabinets and fridge. I’ll occasionally ask my husband if there’s anything he really wants. I’d love to win this because I’m sure it would save me a lot of time. Thanks for the chance.

  372. My list is on whatever piece of paper I can find that my daughter has not colored on. You organize the list?

  374. I use the old fashioned paper & pencil.
    thanksfor the chance

    Stephanies last blog post..Still rolling with no spending!

  379. I don’t do ANY organizing of the list now and I really need to start – it would be nice to have it in order of areas in the store…

  380. LOL… I leave it to my husband. He’s neat and he’s organized. I just scribble stuff on whatever little piece of paper (or even the back of a cereal box) what we need. I’m so UN-organized (I consider it “organized chaos”).

    Thanks for the great giveaway. These look PERFECT for someone like me!

  382. I organize my list by category dairy,bread,meat,side dishes,produce,veggies,household,beauty,frozen and finally goodies.
    All written on an envelope and stuffed with coupons. I so want this!

  384. I watched your demo…what an awesome find!!
    I like how it lets you add an item not originally found, and even better how you can add your errands to the top of you grocery list. NICE!!!

  385. I organize my grocery list according to the aisles in the store. I only have 2 stores to pick from so I use both sides of a piece of paper for each store and then list items as I would find them in the store. The only glitch is when the store decides to rearrange the aisles…then it is challenging especially when you put the coupons in order by aisles also!!!
    Thanks for the chance!!

  388. I am afraid I have to admit I keep my lists on whatever scrap of paper is readily available. Then I seem to lose the paper all too easily. This sounds like a great answer to the problem!

  390. I read your article (I’d watch it but my kids are still sleeping ;)). VERY cool product. I wanted one before but now I want one even more!

  392. Currently I organize my list by type of food. So produce goes together, dairy goes together, etc.

  396. Grocery list? I’ve always flew at the seat of my pants with shopping based on my memory. Now that I started couponing I really just look for the freebies and if I read about a really good deal on a blog I just pull the coupon and put it in my zipper pocket of “smart coupons”. That’s about it for my grocery list.
