Do you use an electronic shopping list at the store?

[radionut]

This isn't a newbie question but I thought this might be the best place for it. I used to have a Palm Pilot and I downloaded a program called Splash Shopper which managed my shopping lists, and I absolutely loved. Well the Palm recently died so I upgraded to a smartphone that also had this program. Splash Shopper has been upgraded since I originally got it and in my opinion, it was far inferior now. Plus I'm having sync issues and feel it is unreliable.

I am interested in what other people use. I know a lot just use a spreadsheet printed from the computer, but I have become accustomed to having all data with me at the store and am hoping to maintain that somehow. Please tell me there is a good alternative!

Thanks!

I personally make my own lists either by hand or in excel

I make my main list using the online version of my store's weekly ad. It also tracks my purchases so that if I need staples like milk, eggs, etc that aren't on sale, I can look at my past purchases and add them to the list. When I print it out, it lists everything by aisle, which is a tremendous time saver once I'm in the store.

I use a palm pilot... the shopping program I use is Splash Shopper... I love it. I also use an excel spreadsheet program on my palm that is in the Docs to go program to carry a list of the ecoupons I have on my Smith's card. I am a bit of a geekette.... I have a program on my laptop called Living cookbook. IN that program I develop my recipes and Monthly menus, it then builds my shopping list. That shopping list is based on the menu and my inventory needs, I then download to my palm. I keep a inventory of my pantry, a list of my current coupons and multi store price list in the Living Cookbook I update with sale prices. My DH (King Geek) wrote a program to sync the Cookbook with my Splash Shopper program.... So when I leave the house I have a shopping list that tells me approx what I will spend, if I have a coupon for the item and how many/much of the item I need. I love shopping with my Palm.

I am very jealous....That sounds like a really cool program. I personally write my own.

Living Cookbook is put out by Radium Technology. There are two versions... one is a straight cookbook/menu version. The Newer version has a diet tracking program in it. It allows you to set up your menus and it will track the daily calories in your menus and then allows you to post whatever else you have eaten to give you a complete caloric intake for the day. You can also post your exercise for the day and it will do calorie expended for the day. It tracks your weight loss, goals and inches loss per body part ie: thighs, waist, and yes boobs. Excellent, Excellent program.......

I'm a Palm Techie & have not used Spash Shopper, but so glad you mentioned it. I'm always on the lookout to find another way to use my Palm. It is difficult to find good reviews of software for Palm. I use Docs To Go, but have not used the Excel component. I had a Palm TX, which has a large screen, which permitted a good "view" of any doc. I,too, upgraded to a Treo & since screen is smaller, I have not been using my Docs to Go as much.

I'm going to look into Splash Shopper....Thanx again!
