Grocery lists

Make a list from your meal plan

1. On Meal plans choose Grocery list, or go to Grocery lists > New list.

2. Under Generate from meal plan, pick the week.

Ingredients from every planned recipe are scaled to the servings you planned, combined, and grouped into sections like Produce, Dairy & Eggs and Meat & Poultry. Leftover meals add nothing. To start blank, use Start from scratch > Create empty list.

Shop

• Tap the circle to check an item off. The progress bar fills as you go.

• Type into Add an item... with an optional quantity and unit, then Add.

• The barcode button next to it opens your camera. Scan a product's barcode and its name is filled in for you. If the product isn't found, choose Type the name.

• Add staples keeps a household list of things you always buy, and adds them in one go.

• Tidy up merges duplicates and fixes sections.

Lists update live. If two people shop at once, each sees the other's check marks within a few seconds.

After you shop
