Question Shopping List Program

I am trying to find the best shopping list program. I am first evaluating the freeware programs out there such as:

Shop2Go

Friday Shopping

My Shopping List

Does anyone have any experience with any of these programs? Which commercial versions should I be looking at?

I use a program called HandyShopper (it is free). You can find it at http://www.pocketpctools.com/modules...icle&sid2=1607

I have tried other shopping programs, including ones that aren't free. HandyShopper suits my needs the best. :approve:

I go the easy route and use the Tasks function to write out a list. :)

Handy Shopper is great.
I was a longtime user on palmpilot, now very happy with PPC version, beta version is most complete, his site states it is nearly the same feature for feature, and has new ones. Very stable, never any problems. Highly reccomended.
Great list keeper of any kind of list.

I bought ListPro for other tasks, but it makes a decent shopping list app. Not free, though.

Can't find HandyShopper

[QUOTE=PamAxim]I use a program called HandyShopper (it is free).

I have Googled HandyShopper and been to many sites but am unable to find one where I am able to download the program. Am I doing something wrong? When I click on the link to download all I get is a screen full of gibrish. There are a lot of sites featuring the program but most refer you back to the same site for download and I can't get it to work.

If you know of a site where this is available please post it!

I agree...that site should work. That is the one that I can't download from. That is the site that all of the other links and sites seem to take you back to. Don't get me wrong...I am grateful for your help. But, does someone know of a site that has the download available (without refering you back to the home site for download)? Maybe there is something wrong with my computer, but when I click on the link to download the program, I get a browser full of gibrish, and no download.

Appreciate any assistance you can give, and thanks to those who tried. This HandyShopper program looks like just what I need.

I second that, just downloaded it recently. HandyShopper is great, I especially like being able to check off items one-handed - essential when shopping for groceries ...

You will probably have to download it on your desktop.


I have that problem at times with all sorts of file types. The browser is just opening the file as text.

I use VOShoppingList by Virtual Office Systems, Inc.

Nice little program, not free but i love it. It adds the sales tax too
and also comes with the ability to run it from your PC.:approve:
