Shopping List Software (Free)

Had a little play around with this free software download yesterday.

http://www.homeplansoftware.com/shoplist.htm

You can input the prices of your groceries per item and compile, print and even save your shopping lists.

I've devised a "weekly" shopping list, a "bi-weekly" shopping list and a "monthly" one.

It does take a bit of time to input the prices and to adapt the items to your own personal requirements, but, it's a handy little program which could prove useful for those who like that sort of thing :D

    This looks really useful. I've just spent a few minutes deleting a whole load from the very non-money saving baking list! So many packet mixes! When I'm not being hassled by family members I'll spend more time on it.

    LOL @ Justamum - yes, ditto! Some of the base items which come with the program are clearly not from an OS'ers shopping list ;) And some of the prices have converted to rather strange amounts (check the cheeses ;) )
