POSHVICE

You know the drill. You get to the grocery store, start wandering around, and realize you’ve completely forgotten half the things you set out to buy. You would’ve made a list, but you lost the magnetic notepad you usually keep on the fridge when you needed something to keep score on when you played Scrabble last week. So you stand there dumbly in the middle of the produce section, willing yourself to remember - what was that one thing that I absolutely needed the other day? The thing that I knew was really important, that I needed before anything else? Why can’t I remember something so simple?

The SmartShopper Voice-Activated Grocery List (SS250) is a godsend, sent from electronics heaven to make sure you’re never put in such an embarassing situation again. You mount it on either the wall or your fridge, and when you think of something you need - you simply say it aloud to the SmartShopper. The small wonder then records the item, and once you’re ready to head to the grocery store, the SS250 will print out your list for you - categorized by section, so you don’t end up running back and forth all over the store - making sure that you remember every single item you need.

How amazing is that? You can also include errands like going to the bank or post office or picking up the kids from school - for anyone with a terrible short-term memory (like myself), this little gadget really makes your life so much easier. I personally used to go through that frozen moment of realizing you’ve forgotten what you needed almost every time I went shopping - it was annoying, embarassing, and resulted in far too many unnecessary return trips to the store once I got home and figured out what I’d missed. With this glorious gadget, those headaches are a thing of the past.

Sound like something you need? It’s available for $149.95 at Sharper Image and $144.99 at Amazon, and believe me - it’s worth every penny in the time, energy, gas for return trips, and lost/unused notepads you’ll save in the long run!
