  3. Complete the date, name, participant category, city & state/Province, country, units and currency rate. If you are submitting a price list from a country other than the United States, enter the currency exchange rate to the U.S. dollar. You can click on Currency Exchange Rates link to look up your rate on the web. Also enter the name of your currency.
  4. Type the prices by the appropriate item in the list. Prices should be converted to the quantities lists, i.e. 1 pound or one kilogram. When you finish, click the Submit Your Price List button.
  5. After a moment you will get a Thank You page. Simply close this window to return to the Global Grocery List Main page.
