A novel shopper\s helper assembly, particularly for grocery shoppers is provided herein. It includes a base and an open bin disposed adjacent one portion of the base, the bin being spaced a predetermined close distance from one side edge of the base to provide a first flat surface, and a predetermined large distance from the other side edge, to provide a second flat paper-supporting surface. The open bin includes a clip located therein for releasably retaining a plurality of sheets of paper. A clip is located along a side edge of the first flat surface for releasably holding a cylindrical writing instrument (e.g. a pen or pencil) of such first flat surface, and a hole at the top thereof for selectively releasably supporting the cylindrical writing instrument therein. A clip is located at an edge of the second flat paper-supporting surface for releasably retaining a pad, or plurality of sheets of paper. One or two longitudinally extending downwardly open cross-section, e.g. generally C-shaped cross-section, clamps are secured to the undersurface of the base for releasably retaining the assembly on a complementarily-shaped, e.g. cylindrically-shaped support. In this way the assembly can be carried into the store where shopping is to be done and can clip temporarily but securely onto the handle of a shopping cart. This assembly affords space for a shopping list, discount coupons, calculators and pencils, and it can also hold an abundance of paper.
