The Elevator Pitch

For Families to stay on budget with thier grocery budget. who Families and Individuals on a budget for their groceries. the Shop Smart Scanner is a Bar Code Scanner hooked up to Grocery carts, to keep tally of total expenses in the grocery cart before checkout. that Especially with food prices today, the prices fluctuate often. The scanner will tell you if you go over your expected budget for Groceries. Unlike Counting in your head or on your cell phone. our product There is no product that I know about on the market like this..

The Idea

Basically the idea is a standard bar code reader with an LCD screen attached to grocery carts, that will tally up the price total that you have in your shopping cart. As you grab the groceries off of the shelf just scan them on the bar code reader before you place them in your cart. This will help eliminate going over budget, as well as if you are under budget, to not be so conservative. The LCD screen could also recommend other foods based on your habits of the foods you already scanned. There could be 2 Revenue streams, one from the Grocery Store to the Company that is leasing, selling, and servicing these scanner's to them, and two from certain food companies who choose to advertise on the scanner's screen.

I thought of this idea when I was...

I thought of this idea when I was about 9 years old, in the supermarket with my mother. Money was tight at the time and I could hear her mumbling adding the prices together in her head to not go over budget. Back then I just thought of having a calculator on the grocery cart, but now, it makes more sense to have the bar code scanners and a simple software loaded onto them.
