10,141 PointsReduce method cannot be used with an object. Try this
groceryTotal.map(item => item.price).reduce((sum, price) => sum+price);

9,038 PointsThere is a syntax error in your reduce function. It should be (sum, item) => sum + item.price
// I'm omitting the items in the array to keep it short
// const purchaseItems = [...]
let groceryTotal;
groceryTotal = purchaseItems
.filter(item => item.dept === 'groceries')
.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
