The Smart Shopper Giveaway (CLOSED)


When I saw this product I just knew I must have it. It is the coolest most helpful gadget!

The most frugal way to shop is of course with a list. If you have a list you're less likely to stray towards impulse items and less likely to forget something. The SmartShopper takes list making to the next level. Upon the push of a button, you tell it what you need, it will search its pre-programmed data base for that product, and then put it on your list. Of course if you're buying an obscure item, you can voice program it in so no worries. You can also tell the SuperShopper if you have a coupon for that item. So now, there's no more forgetting about your coupons! Oh yeah, and you can tell it what errands you need to run as well. Once it's time to go out, you just hit the print button and out comes your list...but WAIT...that's not all it did. When you look at the list, you'll notice your items have been broken up into categories such as errands, packaged meat, breads, ect. It has also marked which items you have coupons for. How cool is that!? The printer does not require ink. You'll only have to buy extra thermal paper after you run out of the 3 rolls that are already included. The SmartShopper includes wall mounting screws. However, it is light enough to mount on the fridge. I had some thin, large sticker magnets I just peeled and stuck on the back of it. It's in a central location so when I open the fridge and see we're out of something, it's right there. For a demo, click here.

Recently, I sat in on a sales presentation for grocery cart advertisements. You know, the ones that go on the front end of the cart? One of our agents wanted me to listen and see what I thought. Being my first grocery cart ad presentation, there were a lot of statistics regarding grocery shopping that I was completely oblivious to. One that stuck in my head was that the average person/family, goes to the grocery store 3-4 times a week. Wha?! 3-4 times A WEEK?!? I actually had to stop the man to ask if he was saying that right. I was just floored. If you are one of these people, you REALLY need to get this product. I mean, think of how much gas and time is wasted going back and forth to the store. The money saved by buying this product would totally exceed the price paid out for it.

I would like to share this awesomeness with one of my readers (I will even throw in the magnets). I am going to start the contest today and end it on Saturday 1/24 at 11pm EST.

This would totally organize me. I go to the grocery store and always forget something. And if I don't forget, I can't read my writing and have no idea what I wrote down on my list.

I want a smart shopper so much. I would love to be able to go to the grocery store and actually remember to buy everything we need at home and now forget anything. Also, I didn't realize you could tell it you had coupons for stuff! Awesome! Shamrocker99@aol.com

Can't beat a cool frugal gadget.

It's such a good idea. My current system is to write up a small list and leave it on the desk. Then, when I'm in the kitchen and realize I need something I say "Garlic Salt, garlic salt, garlic salt" as if this will summon the item to me while I'm in the store later. This would help me get things on my list while I'm in the kitchen.

I didn't think I "needed" this, and then my friend got one. She LOVES it. And I'm jealous. She says it sticks really well on the refrigerator, so it stays handy all the time whenever you need to add an item. She figured out the voice feature, and says it's fun to use. SOS! Now I DO need one.

Yes, I'm one of those people who goes to the store 4 or MORE times a week (sometimes I go all 7 days), to say that I need this is an UNDERSTATEMENT.

Wow, that is awesome!! I'm amazed at how many little gadgets there are that are made specifically to make our lives easier!!

I always forget coupons and even more lame than that..sometimes I'll bring the coupons with me and then forget to give them to the checker! UGH!

I think this would change my life. I am all about effeciency - I teach cooking classes, so, I'm shopping all the time, not just for myself. I have a nerdy Excel template that I fill in in the order of the grocery store and take with me - I get made fun of a lot by my coworkers, friends, and roommates - nothing worse than scrambling to get a school started and I don't have something that I need.

I am actually the strange one who likes to grocery shop. I'm happy for it to be my Saturday night out alone. I'm also an avid coupon clipper. I also have a excel spreadsheet sorted by products as our grocery list. Yet I still somehow go to the supermarket 2-3 times a week.

Deni said...

I think this would help me in that i need all the help I can get when shopping, if i am not forgetting something, then I am not shopping well! :) I also am good at forgetting my list! haha!

This fantastic gadget would help me remember everything I actually need from the store as well as remind me when I have a coupon for specific items. It seems to do everything except drive the car to get you to the store! Thanks!

well it wouldn't improve my life as much as it would improve my fathers life.He would be receiving this if I win. Hes never making a shopping list and he never can be bothered hes just one of those types who runs out every 3rd day and buys a few items its wasting so much gas. I think this would show him the ways of the shopping list.

I am very forgetful and this would really help keep me organized and save on gas since I won't have to keep driving back to the store to pick up what I forgot!

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! : )))
