I'm looking for an inexpensive pocket device to keep a running expense
total on. I don't really need a PDA. Is there such a device? I
searched Google and Amazon, but didn't see anything.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

There are mere calculators that can store memory when shut
off, or a simply "organizer" type device. The lower cost
devices will have a cruder interface so it depends a bit how
large you want it and whether multiple running totals and
alphanumeric characters are needed, which makes the key
interface more time-consuming and/or larger. IOW, "running
expense total" is the least of the criteria needed to choose
one". For example, on the low-end something like this
"might" do it:

Stuff like this might be cheaper in your local discount
store after factoring in shipping from online purchases.

Yes, something like those may do. I basically just need to type some
numbers in and have it saved for later. Thanks!

Thanks, Bennett. My grandfather's name was Bennett :-)

I just realized this may have come across as sarcastic or insulting. It
wasn't meant as such. I do thank you. I mentioned my grandfather's
name because Bennett is not too common.
 
Definitely no offense taken.
