tkcShopper
By Margot Ross
So your significant other wants to send you to the grocery store to pick up some items and you are shaking with fear because you don't know where anything is at the store :), or you just need to keep track of a list of items to purchase. tkcShopper is the perfect shopping companion and goes far beyond what you would typically expect to see from a Shopping List style of application. With tkcShopper you can manage:
- Shops - create store profiles that include the name, telephone, email, address, web site and memo information, including the store layout so you know that Store A keeps bread on aisle 2 and Store B keeps it on aisle 7.
- Items - each item can be associated with a shop, have a type, price, measurement units and a typical quantity so if you always get a gallon of milk you can rapidly add it to your list.
- Shopping history - you can save and analyze your shopping history and add a future shopping list with reminder alarms.
- Shopping Cart - this is the work horse of the application and where you do your real work at the store. You can add items to the cart and control it while you are shopping. You also have running counters for items and dollars.
- Each task can have filters so you can deal with specific items as you go.
