With more supermarkets starting to introduce online shopping apps, there’s just something different about a good old trip to the store. As you head out the door to do some grocery shopping, a few questions might be on your mind. What do you need? Is there anything I don’t want to buy this week? Will I forget anything when I get there? Grocery shopping list apps can technically make grocery shopping easier.
The truth is grocery shopping is as complicated (or easy) as you make it. Keeping an organized list and planning ahead can help you remember the essentials, and often saves you more than a dollar or two. Besides helping you navigate the many aisles, having a grocery list can also lead to a healthier diet. One of the ways you can stick to your budget is by using these grocery shopping list apps.
AnyList
AnyList makes it easy by suggesting items as you type and dividing your list into categories, so you know you won’t have to take a double trip to the dairy aisle. Another thing to absolutely love is that you can share lists with family and friends and make changes in real-time. You can also take item photos, sync with iPhone, and customize the interface design – but you have to pay for the premium features.
Listonic
If you’re the designated household buyer, you probably know that most of the things on the grocery list are repeated every trip. Listonic puts your favorite products at the top and allows you to adjust the quantity. Plus, if you’re ever feeling uninspired to plan your meals for the week, simply browse through their product catalogue to find new suggestions by aisle. Other than pop-up ads, which you can remove with the premium version, Listonic is pretty much all you need in a grocery shopping list app.
Mealime
Mealime makes meal planning fun, so it’s worth checking out if you are on a bit of a health kick. The app has tons of easy at-home recipes to choose from, and it generates a shopping list based on what you pick. With over 200 personalization options, you’re bound to find a diet plan that caters to you.
Bring!
Shopping for family, friends, or roommates? Bring! is perfect for grocery shopping for large groups, with features that allow you to send out invitations, make custom templates for occasions, and list sharing. Their Inspiration Stream brings you seasonal recipes and ideas to make your next party great and easy to shop for. It also works with voice commands on Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for a fuss-free experience.
BigOven
On BigOven, you have thousands of recipes on demand, your grocery list and meal plan all on one platform. Their recipe list is pretty impressive, with over 500,000 meals to choose from based on your preferences (they have vegan, dairy-free, and nut-free options!) If you’re looking for a hassle-free quick alternative to eating out, BigOven also has helpful tips and videos to see you through your meal-planning journey.
List Ease
Ever bought something at the store only to come home to realize you have an unopened box? Besides a super easy-to-use grocery planner, List Ease allows you to make a note of your inventory at home. This app is straightforward and pretty much like a kitchen-exclusive notes app.
