I received this as a gift from my parents. When I opened the box, I thought, "Great... another item to stick in the closet." Boy, was I wrong!!
From the moment I removed it from the box, I was hooked. My husband and I spent hours just thinking up items to see if they were stored in the device. I can't think of one now that wasn't in there-but the cool thing is, we could add items to it!
I placed the Smart Shopper on my fridge, and was impressed at how strong the magnets were. It's really streamline, so it isn't bulky and in the way-I am always having things knocked off of the fridge by the kids.
Gone are the days of magnetic note pads on the fridge for writing up errands and grocery lists! As I run out of items around the home, I just walk up to the Smart Shopper, and tell it what I'm out of. It even knows the different errands I need to run-I can tell it I need to go to the post office, the bank, the school, dry cleaners, you name it!! It keeps it all stored together until I'm ready to print.
When I'm ready to go shop for the day, I simply print out the list, and it categorizes my grocery items by department-a real time saver when you don't want to backtrack all around the store!:) The print out is clear and easy to read (ever forget your glasses?) and the print-out is on paper like adding machine tape-I just slip it into my purse or wallet, no bulky list to fold up.
It also prints my errands on the same list-which means I don't come back home only to realize I've forgotten my husbands shirts at the dry cleaners, AGAIN-which is a real pain as I live in a rural area-you just don't head back out if you forget something.
I love this product so much, every time someone new comes over, I have to show them my "sanity-saver" as I like to call it. I plan on getting one for my folks for Christmas this year, to reciprocate the favor!!!
