RE: Use a Tally Counter When Grocery Shopping
I used one of these as a young housewife in the mid 70's, at " the5and10.com", under organizers, you can find the " handy adder" for $4.99, it will go to $99.99, there hard to find in the stores, I haven't seen one in years.

Yes, but is there any other place that carries them?
Editor's Note: We've been looking but haven't found any.

Where can one find this grocery counter? I can't find the counter on the 5and10 site?
Editor's Note: They don't seem to have them anymore.

I tried the contact form at 5and10.com and got an error. i'm not sure if this is a working website or not. Another time I got network solutions that the domain name is for sale. Until we find out if these guys are in business or not, I wouldn't recommend ordering.

I keep track by counting everything in my basket - I always check at the 99 Cent Store - but that's easy becaz the prices are all the same!

Yes, how does one use that kind of tally counter for groceries?
Also where does one buy the old style plastic ones???

RE: Use a Tally Counter When Grocery Shopping
I use one of the old plastic grocery counters. It unfortunately only counts up to $20 but I still use it. I just round up the change portion of the price and when I get to the $20 mark I write it down and keep going. It's a great feeling when I'm at the register and the bill is less than what the counter says!

RE: Use a Tally Counter When Grocery Shopping
Fantastic idea. I tried this once with an old plastic grocery tally counter thing (my mother used one in the 60's) but it kept jamming and I sort of forgot about it. I am going to pick up one of these today.
We have been spending way too much on groceries- it just seems to creep up higher every week. How do those on low and/or fixed incomes do it?

RE: Use a Tally Counter When Grocery Shopping
How do you use it? It counts in ones - do I click once for every penny? That's a lot of clicking...
