One of the continuing joys of my life is the practice of making lists with pen and paper. It gives me a moment to get organized, I get the opportunity to firmly cross the items off the list once I've completed them and there's something so satisfying about looking at a slip of paper at the end of the day and knowing that you accomplished a series of tasks or errands. I especially love making grocery shopping lists because in addition to my previously discussed love of lists, I also love food. It becomes the merging of multiple loves and that just makes my day.
That was a long way of saying that I totally don't understand this gadget, the SmartShopper Grocery List Organizer that "alphabetizes and groups items by where they're found in the store." You pay $149.99 for the privilege of using this electronic list maker to do a job that a $.19 pen and a piece of paper could probably do just (if not more) effectively. Oh technology. You claim to make our lives better, but sometimes I wonder.
