A POS (Point Of Sales) system which employs a purchased commodity accommodating and transporting apparatus having a self scanning function is improved in that a total amount of money for commodities loaded on a shopping cart or in a shopping basket or unit prices of the individual commodities can come to a knowledge of a customer before the commodities are transported to a settlement POS terminal thereby to prevent possible shopping of an amount of money greater than an estimate to allow smooth shopping and that commodities are printed in a sorted condition for different groups to facilitate confirmation of purchased commodities by a customer. A display section is provided on the purchased commodity accommodating and transporting apparatus and displays the prices of commodities obtained by retrieval of a commodity price file in accordance with commodity code information read by a commodity code reading section and a total value of the prices of the commodities.
