Obsessed with NEW Phone App

I am obsessed with a new phone app that I just happened to find.  I searched for something like it but did not have a specific one in mind.  Well the one app that I ended up getting I LOVE!!! I searched for something to help me keep track of lists, especially grocery lists and to-do lists.

I found the Out of Milk app on my droid and it is AWESOME!!

Not only can I make lists for different stores, I can scan the UPC symbols of products (or enter manually) and it adds them to the lists and I can also enter prices and coupons that I have.  It adds everything up and I can have a pretty good idea of what I am going to spend at the check out (it factors in the coupons as well).

I can also keep track of my pantry items and spices so I know when I am getting low.  I can also transfer and copy specific items to different lists - for example, the stuff I just bought at the store on my grocery list can be copied over to the pantry list.

The app also has a to-do list as well.  I am adding things all day and then I cross them off via the app when I finish.  The grocery lists work that way as well.

So why is this a big deal...I never download apps.  I have a few, mainly for my daughter, but I am not one to download a bunch of apps but this one is so useful to me.  I took especially long at the grocery store the other day because I wanted to scan items and add the prices in so I could use the app to its full potential.  Out of Milk saves the items so the next time I buy them, all the pricing and item info (as long as it is the same) is stored.

FYI: I am also able to access all of my lists online as well via my computer so I can add/change things easily that way as well.  I did end up paying the $2.99 or $4.99 (not sure how much) fee so this online capability could be because of that but not sure.

I have lists now for all kinds of stores and several to-do lists.  NOW, I just need to get an accurate pantry and stockpile list going - that part to me is not fun - but would be helpful to have.
