Using the Grocery List

Turn your recipes into a shopping list in a few taps, and share it with the people you shop for.

Adding items

Open the Groceries tab. Your main list is My groceries. You can add items in several ways:

  • Type an item, for example "6 eggs"
  • Add a recipe: pick a recipe, choose the servings and the ingredients you need, and add them in one go
  • From a recipe, tap Add to groceries
  • In your recipe library, select several recipes and tap Add to grocery list

Each item remembers which recipe it came from. To take a recipe's ingredients off your list, use Remove recipe.

Sorting your list

Sort items By Category, A–Z, By Date or By Recipe, whichever matches the way you shop.

While you shop

Tap Start shopping for a view made for the store. Check items off as you go, and they move to Checked off. When you're done, tap Remove all checked-off items to clear them.

More lists and sharing

Create extra lists for different stores or occasions. Free accounts can have a few extra lists; MealBuddy Plus removes the limit.

Share a list by sending its link, so everyone at home sees the same list. Up to 6 people can share a list, and everyone needs the MealBuddy app. The owner of a list can hand it over to another member with Make owner.
