Cellphones look set to replace the supermarket checkout when you do your grocery shopping.

With the push of a button you will scan an item with your phone and it will tell you everything you want to know about the product and the company that made it.

And, when you walk out the door your money will automatically be taken from your account.

This is the supermarket of the future and, according to "The Supermarket Guru" Phil Lempert, who is visiting New Zealand from the United States, that future is not too far away.
