shopping_list.py and "Unexpected Indent"

I'm having a hard time with the first pass of "shopping_list.py" I typed along with Kenneth on the screen and when I go to run the code, I get an error for line 13 that is Unexpected Indent. What am I doing wrong?

shopping_list = list()

print("What should we pick up at the store? ")
print("Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items. ")

while True:
  new_item = input("> ")

  if new_item == "DONE":
    break

shopping_list.append(new_item)
   print("Added! List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))
   continue

print("Here's your list: ")

for item in shopping_list:
      print(item)

Your shopping_list.append(new_item) shouldn't be de-dented to the left edge.

Also, make sure your indentation amounts are the same throughout the file. I notice that your final print(item) is indented more than anything else.
