I use my Amazon Dot for many things but my favorite is the Shopping list. As soon as I run out of something I tell Alexa to put it on my shopping list. it automatically goes on my phone so that when I'm out I can look up the list on my Alexa App. I also use it to ask questions about the weather, driving directions, history, medical questions. I play Jeopardy, Millionaire, 20 Questions. Just a fun little device.
