Have you looked into home deliver grocery services such as AmazonFresh? Here is a good AmazonFresh review by a successful college student with low vision who uses AmazonFresh. http://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/amazonfresh-review-grocery-delivery AmazonFresh Review: Grocery Delivery | Perkins eLearning<http://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/amazonfresh-review-grocery-delivery> www.perkinselearning.org Benefits of AmazonFresh home grocery delivery system for people who are visually impaired. AmazonFresh works well for grocery and things found in a grocery store, such as household goods. It will not help with clothes shopping! Good luck!

In particular, she gets frustrated when trying to locate clothing tags (prices and sizes) on clothing. I have found a few tips on the usual sites (use a personal shopper, use magnifier, phone, monocular, take a friend, have clear idea of what you are looking for in advance). I was wondering if anyone has any additional suggestions for making shopping easier with low vision. This student has a lot of angst about making the purchase. Would you encourage her to ask for the total or help her locate the cash register where the total will be displayed using monocular? Any personal experiences great appreciated.
