Why Did I Download/Buy This?

I needed a shopping list program. I wanted to be able to put my shopping list in, put in the aisles, and as I was shopping, have the program tell me what I needed to pick up where. I also wanted it to be able to handle multiple stores, coupons and pricing.

How Do I Use This?

It started out that I used this just for grocery shopping. I still use it for that; but I have also created other lists. These lists include daily tasks, bathroom supplies, my Flylady control journal, my packing list, a party checklist and trip preparation. (These are all in support of my Flylady system implementation.) In archives, I have my to-be-read-someday list.

This application is so flexible that I use it frequently. There are few days that I am not in this program.
