Rolling Total

Before the digital era was as developed as today, we used to wrote the items we needed to buy from the grocery store or mall on pieces of paper. Now, with the help of various small or complex tools we can easily manage all the shopping lists and save them on the drive.

Rolling Total falls in the category of small yet useful applications as it comes in handy to anyone who seeks to estimate the total costs for the current shopping session.

The app is downloaded and installed swiftly and can be opened once the setup is complete. The provided interface is user-friendly and clear, displaying the list of all the entered items, the current budget, total and the cost for the selected products.

From the menu, you have the option to create numerous shopping lists, but make sure you save them first, as you might lose all the data. All you have to enter is the quantity, the product name and value. Sadly, the only way to insert new records is through the "Edit" menu, which makes it tedious and time-consuming.

The items total is calculated based on the amount and unit price. Rolling Total adopts a confusing way of adding the number, which needs to be inputted in "unit x product" format, instead of inserting a separate column for it.

Don't forget to enter your budget as well or you may get a negative value. Using the Shift and mouse button, you can select specific products and calculate the value only for them. The list can be saved as RT file format. From the options, it's possible to change the over budget background color.

Taking everything into account, Rolling Total is a straightforward program that comes in handy only to those who want to quickly estimate the total costs of the products they are about to buy.
