Household Shopper, Release 2 (HHS2) is the preeminent shopping list manager. HHS2 takes the drudgery out of using a shopping list by using the best Macintosh has to offer in ease of use. If used regularly, HHS2 can help keep shopping costs in check by giving you the perfect shopping list to work from thus helping you overcome the urge to impulse shop. Because HHS2 is so easy to use it encourages you to use it and thus adds discipline to your shopping habits.
HHS2 allows you to easily, quickly, and enjoyably keep track of up to 2,000 — that’s right, 2,000! — separate items. You organize them to reflect the way you shop, either in categories; like Meat, Vegetables, Canned goods, etc. Another way would be by store row/aisle and item would be things found on that row or aisle.
To give you maximum flexibility HHS2 helps you keep track of items by the item description or name, the brand name, the size you wish to buy, the quantity you wish to buy, the store location, the cost, and whether or not you have a coupon for the item and the estimated cost of all items selected for your shopping list.
HHS2 has a “Preview” feature that allows you to review your shopping list on screen before printing it out. Finally, HHS2 gives you a two column printout on any type of printer, either straight up or sideways on a page, that is ideal for folding in half for easy handling while shopping.
If you’ve been using Household Shopper 1.x and wish to use HHS2 without creating a new data file, then HHS File Converter is just the thing for you. HHS File Converter will quickly create a new data file in HHS2 format using your old HHS data file.
Again, Household Shopper, Release 2 is Shareware. If you use it I ask that you send $25 US to:
