About the Online Grocery List
A good grocery list saves time and money, because you buy what you need and avoid wandering around the shop. This online grocery list lets you add each item with an optional amount and choose a section of the shop, such as produce, dairy and eggs, meat and fish, bakery, pantry, frozen, drinks or household. The list is shown grouped by section so you can work through the shop in order. Tap to tick items off as they go in the trolley, remove them with a cross, clear everything you have ticked in one go and copy the whole list as text to send it to someone. It is saved in your browser, with no sign-up.

A sample list
Produce: 6 apples, 1 kg carrots, spinach. Dairy and eggs: 2 L milk, 12 eggs. Pantry: pasta, tomatoes, rice. Household: dish soap. Typed in, this list becomes a short set of sections you can follow around the shop. Tick each item as it goes in the trolley, and any that remain at the end tell you what to look for on the way to the checkout.
If you shop in more than one place, keep a separate list for each, since a market and a supermarket are laid out differently. Put the items you are likely to forget at the top by adding them first, and use the amount box for sizes and brands, such as 500 g or the large pack. Take a quick look at the list before you leave the shop, so that anything you missed can be fetched while you are still there rather than on a second trip.
Saving money and waste
Households throw away a large share of the food they buy, mostly fresh items. A specific list, with amounts, helps you buy only what you will use. Keep an eye on use-by dates, freeze extras and plan a meal around leftovers. Writing a rough weekly budget beside the list also makes it easier to see when the total is creeping up.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use the grocery list?
Enter an item, optionally an amount, and choose its section, then press Add. The list groups items by section. As you shop, tick items off, and at the end press Remove ticked items.
Does the list save?
Yes, in your browser on this device. It stays after you close the tab, and does not leave your device. It will not appear on another phone or computer unless you copy it across.
Can I share the list?
Use Copy list, which puts the items on the clipboard as plain text grouped by section. Paste it into a message or email to send it.
Can I reorder the sections?
They follow a typical shop order: produce, dairy, meat and fish, bakery, pantry, frozen, drinks, household and other. Choose Other for anything that does not fit.
Why group by section?
Shops are laid out in sections, so a list in the same order saves you backtracking and helps you avoid impulse buys. It also makes sure you do not forget items from far corners of the shop.
Does it keep a history of past lists?
No. Each list is a single working list. Before you clear it, copy it somewhere if you want to reuse it as a template for next week.
