The Shopping List of the Future

The other day, Bob-a-Roony introduced us to a cool new i-phone app.  And not just any cool new i-phone app.  A Woolworths i-phone app.  No, it's not a trolley dude tracker.  It's an app that lets you scan items on your phone, adding them to your on phone shopping list.  It's beyond cool.  So this is how it works.  You run out of washing up liquid, you summon Mystical Roo and his phone, Mystical Roo zaps the bar code with said phone and there you have it.  Washing up liquid is on your shopping list.  And not only that, it then organises your shopping list for you.  It puts your list in aisle order.  Aisle order!  It tells you what aisle you can get your washing up liquid from.  Now that's service.  Of course not everything has a bar code (oranges for example) but you can go in and manually add extra items.  You can create yourself a whole shopping list, on your phone and then it will put it in aisle order for you.  I've always loved a good list but this is a whole new level of list making.  It's the future!

  1. Sounds ghastly. I like a good old fashioned illegible list. I also enjoy reading discarded lists that I find in trollies; sad eh!

  2. What fun! Love zapping barcodes. Got to be easier than trying to read Rabby's writing.

  3. My handwriting gets worse and worse. I think I'm the only one who can read it now
