Grocery lists are essential tools for efficient shopping, helping to save time and money by organizing purchases and preventing impulse buying. They can reduce food waste by ensuring you buy only what you need and can help in meal planning. Digital grocery list organizers offer advantages over traditional paper lists, including easy editing, categorization, and the ability to track expenses.
The total expense calculation is performed by summing the prices of all items in the list. The JavaScript code uses the reduce() method to iterate through the groceryItems array, adding up the price of each item:
total = groceryItems.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
This total is then displayed with two decimal places for cents:
totalExpenses.textContent = `$${total.toFixed(2)}`;
