(New to Python) Shopping List Code

How can I stop this code when -1 is typed or at a maximum item count of ten.
At the moment the code seems to be in a infinite loop meaning it keeps on asking for an entry until -1 is typed.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 total = 0                                       

while True:                                     
 
  print('Cost of item')                                     
 
  item = input()                                        
 
  if item != -1:                                        

    total = total + item                                        

  if item == -1:                                        
 
      break                                     
 
print(total)

You can use a test expression with while loop to achieve such. For e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
...

i=1

while i<11:

  i += 1

  ...
