Abstract

A electronic shopping assembly includes a housing that may be carried by a user. A processor is coupled to the housing. An electronic memory is coupled to the housing and the processor. A transceiver is coupled to the housing and the processor. The transceiver is in communication with an external electronic device in a store and a cellular phone network. A touch screen display is coupled to the housing and the processor. An actuator is coupled to the housing and the processor. A scanner is coupled to the housing and the processor. The scanner scans a bar code on an item on the shopping list. The item is removed from the shopping list and a cost of the item is stored in the electronic memory. A GPS is coupled to the housing and the processor. The GPS directs the user to a location of an item on the shopping list.
