So one of the local supermarkets has begun the "easyshop" program - which is scan-as-you-go shopping. I pulled down one of the shopping devices and scanned each item as I took it off the shelf. I even packed them in my canvas bags myself as I went along. The coolest thing about this? The device has a running total in the corner of it's screen so I finished shopping when I hit my budget limit!
Easy to use (push big yellow button and scan! Push "remove" button and scan!) and checkout was a breeze. The whole experience was kinda neat - and I saved an extra $2+ because I used the easyshop device (it tells how much you saved with regular shopping and how much extra you saved using easyshop - all told about $10 this time).
I could see this being annoying if I was buying fruit/vegetable items that needed to be weighed, but since I was not it was quick and, well, easy. And since I got to pack my own bags the cold stuff all stayed cold because - shocker I know - it was PACKED TOGETHER!!11!!!
Technology is very cool!
