Purchase of items is facilitated though use of a wireless device. The wireless device connects to a server via a global communications network. The consumer's shopping list is maintained on the server and displayed on the wireless device. Using the wireless device and the shopping list, a checkout list is created by entering or scanning codes on selected items at locations proximate the selected items in a store. One or more of the locations proximate the selected items corresponds to a location that is different from a point of sale in the store, the point of sale corresponding to a location in the store where goods on the checkout list are purchased using the wireless device.
