Publisher's description of Speedy Shopper

From Alastria Software:

Speedy Shopper makes your grocery shopping easier. Start by creating a list of items you buy at the store. These items are placed inside categories (like produce, and snacks) that appear as collapsible folders like Windows Explorer. Each item can have an assigned aisle, allowing you to sort your shopping list by aisle. When you're ready to shop, click the check mark next to each item you want, and it will be placed in your shopping list.

Speedy Shopper also helps you manage your coupons, make notes about each item, helps you find items with its powerful search capability, and manage multiple stores. You can also print, email, or save your shopping list as a PDF. Version 1.5 coupons can now have expiration dates (which will notify the user to throw the coupon away once its expired). You can now also disable coupons for a particular store that doesn't accept them (like price clubs). Errands, You can now add errands to the top or bottom of the shopping list, as handy reminders.

Editor's review of Speedy Shopper

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Speedy Shopper 1.5

Speedy Shopper is a whiz at creating shopping lists, though it lacks cost tracking. The New Store wizard gets you off to a good start, with numerous categories such as health and beauty, bakery, and dairy. You can create an aisle-by-aisle layout for stores you frequent so your list can flow with the store's design. Speedy Shopper has numerous standard items listed for you to add to your list and you can add and delete items and categories to personalize the program. You can store coupon amounts and expiration dates with selected items, and this clever software even gives warnings when coupons are approaching expiration. Convenient check boxes can be added to your list, and you can change fonts within the program and for your printed list. Lists are saved and printable in Speedy Shopper or in PDF format and can be e-mailed. We even added errands such as trips to the bank and post office. We only wish the program included an option to insert and edit prices to estimate the total cost of grocery lists. Even so, you'll find it hard to forget anything using this program's user-friendly approach to creating shopping lists.

  "This is simply FANTASTIC and exactly what I'd been looking for!"

  by lilycakes on August 1, 2006

  Pros: I'm not usually given to writing reviews but every now and again something comes along that's so great, it really deserves a few moments of my time to let others know. I've been working with a different shopping list program for a couple of years and found it awkward and time consuming. I settled in the other day to do some updating on it and was so frustrated with it I went in search to see if anything new had hit the market and found Speedy Shopper. It is simply FANTASTIC! It gives a 30-day free trial but I could tell in just a couple of days that it would be silly waiting out the time as this was the program I'd been hoping would be developed and have purchased it. You can add and delete items with ease. Add what categories you want and delete categories and then set them up for how you go through the store. If you shop at more than one store you can make others with just a few clicks. I primarily wanted it for groceries but I KNOW I'm going to easily incorporate it for use with other shopping as well. I simply can't say enough with how thrilled I am with it and I know this is going to prove to be invaluable to me.
