I kind of have a list of things I need to pick up that I don't usually have coupons for or go on sale. (or at least I haven't found them on sale recently) I am hoping to get a few Wii games but will not be upset if I don't. I can easily think of things to get me to $250.

My formula is on hold at the pharmacy and since you guys helped by letting me know there are no taxes, I'll pick up 2 more off the shelf. I have 8 coupons, 8 cheques and the $10 GC promo card. :)

GREAT app - but you gotta play around a little to get the hang of it. Keeps all your list, taxes, quantity & coupons, then you can tap something on your list & is moves it into your shopping cart & calculates whats in your cart!!!!

That sounds perfect! Is that the exact name of the app? I can't seem to find it! :)

Ok it's called Shopper Free - you will need to go into it's settings & set the tax rate, also, the default lists on it are useless (to me), so I simply emptied those & did my own list for groceries. There are things that you will want to add of course, but everything can be configured, you just have to play in it.

I have my list all ready to go on it - what I did was added a note to the items that have tax and turned OFF the tax calculation on it - made sure I had $250, then turned the tax calculation back on & noted the difference so I can buy a gift card to cover the tax before I shop.

I also added the link http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/hstmobile/ to safari so I can quickly see what has tax and what doesn't to avoid miscalculations in case I am uncertain about an item.

Happy shopping everyone!

It's pretty awesome for a free app that's for sure. I'm still not ready to buy the upgraded version as I don't think I will have a use for the barcode scanner at all!

I'm after 2 items, thats $160. Will toss in whatever appeals to me at the time.

I have a feeling there won't be many shopping like me. But I'm done xmas shopping and we really don't "NEED" anything.

Pammie - see my post further up (post 22) with some info :-)
