LOL, about 6 yrs. ago, our local grocery store mounted caclulators to the carts. They didn't last and my 2 and 4 year old had a blast with them while I kept track of the bill in my head. I am a DH and that is what I am for.

Yes,I remember those calculators on the carts!!!
I miss them!
Now, I use my cell or try to figure things out in my head. (cell works much better though!)Comment

I use a list and a calculator with memory & math functions. I keep a running tally as I put things in the cart. You don't see too many people weighing produce anymore, but I do. Last week my total was off by 0.12 from the register- guess those bananas were a little heavier!Comment

My PDA (iTouch) has a built-in calculator software.
Typically, I can round and calculate in my head, but I did break it out once in Macy's, because I couldn't believe how good the price of a leather jacket was. Two sales associates saw me doing that, and perhaps they thought I was serious, they literally jumped on me, trying to get me to buy it. I didn't buy it by the way. As cheap as it was, I still didn't need it.

Shopping with a calculator = a great ideaComment

I did try this once actually but found that somehow during the process I would hit the wrong key and then either lose my place or have to start over again. now I just try to keep a general running total in my head. works for the most part.Comment

It is best to have a list of what you need to buy right before you go to the grocery, it just doesn't save your money but also your time thinking of what you need to buy... I always used to have one everytime i go to the groceries, (e.g item#1 it always comes with a pre-assumed price and i totaled them altogether with other items i need to buy)... But of course, I need to bring a calculator 'coz there are some instances that i get to attract with 'SALES' so i really need to know the exact price of the stuffs though i love to buy them yet i need to save money...Comment
