WINNER:

• Holly at Tropic of Mom who said .... Wow, what a great gadget! I could definitely use a SmartShopper. I like that it uses voice recognition. That must make it fast and easy to use -- no hunting for a pen! I would keep this and use it if I won it, but I'm sure just about everyone I know could use it.

ALTERNATES:

• Annie who said...
  I love that it doesn't need ink cartridges!! That is great! I would keep this one for myself, what a great tool!


• Mari who said...
  It looks like such a handy gadget! I went to the site and see that not only can I get a discount through your code, but there is fee shipping now. I would be keeping this one! Thanks for doing this!


• Jennae at Green Your Decor who said...
  I love the fact that it doesn't require an ink cartridge since it has thermal printing. And I love the fact that I can mark which items I have coupons for, because I always forget my coupons. I would definitely keep it for myself.


• Kat who said...
  This is such an amazing product. I have been thinking about picking one up. I love that you can add errands to your list as well. If I don't pick one up for myself - ie don't end up with one later today - I will definitely be keeping it for myself. I'm also thinking this could be a great gift for my sister though - mmmm wonder who will win out??


• Christine at Live Laugh Love and Bloggings who said...
  First of all what's not to love with all it's organization features!?! I'm in love! I love that you can add items and it remembers, I love that there are no ink cartridges, I love that it has such a large library of items already stored in it... and so on and so on and so on.This would be for me ALL for me!! I share so much of everything with everyone else, this baby would be mine all mine! :)
