Another useful cooking app

Yeah, but it’s a pain finding the perfect one as some aren’t free and you shell out a few bucks and find you don’t like it. We usually waste a good amount of time setting it up and trying it for. a while before realizing we just don’t like it or thought it had any a feature it doesn’t. Glad there are all the choices though.

It's great that there are a lot of choices; you can find the one that fits the way you work. To me, this is digital memory that is far better than the one providence assigned me!

We’ve been using OurGroceries for while now. There’s so many shopping list and ToDo list apps out there and we’ve gone through several as this seems like a more personalized app as none of them seem to support everything. There’s so many features that vary from app to app outside of the interface itself.

Syncing across devices
List sharing (syncing across family)
UPC scanning
Watch interface (so nice no to have to hold your phone out entire trip through store)
Alexa, Google, Siri integration
...and the list goes on

I use one called "Out of Milk". I'm guessing it does the same things. And since I normally keep my phone in my pocket, it's easy to add stuff to a list when I notice something is getting low.

This is probably my most used app:

Shopping List.

There are dozens of these apps. Mine is by Kiwi3. It says in the description that it contains ads, but mine doesn’t, so somewhere along the line I paid the $3 or whatever to get rid of them. I use this app every single day.

The reason I like it? It is simple and functional. Do you think to yourself, "Next time I’m at the store I need to get sea salt"? Open Shopping List, add sea salt, close app. Just do that, and you’ll never again be driving home and think, "Damn, I forgot the sea salt!"

That is all it does. And that simplicity is what gives it value.

It does do more, within that simplicity: you can make multiple lists. Say you’re going on vacation, and you need sun screen, shorts, a passport photo, etc.: make a list and call it "Vacation". And, it tracks and fills: buy grapes, and the next time you’re making a list and type a "g", it offers "grapes". Don’t want grapes? Just keep typing. You can order your items to fit where they are in the store. You can delete them as you add them to your cart.

The Kiwi3 version does not have cloud capability that I know of, but you can share lists. But you cannot share lists across platforms, ie Apple and Android.

My advice, find one of these that you like, and stick it on your Home Screen. It’s the digital helper that actually helps.
