The Shopping List in Plan to Eat connects to your Meal Planning Calendar to auto-populate ingredients for your planned recipes. Once you've added recipes, notes, and ingredients to your Planner, the app generates a comprehensive, organized grocery list for you.
To start, make sure your Shopping List's date range matches the dates of your meal plan.
Date Range
Check the date range at the top of your list to make sure you're seeing the right items.
Tap the date range in the upper right.
Choose a preset range (Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next 7 Days, Next 14 Days) or tap a date on the calendar to select a custom range.
Tap the checkmark to save.
Your Shopping List is generated from planned events within the selected date range.
Shopping by Store
Use the tabs below the search bar to view All Items or filter by a specific store. Each tab shows how many items are on your list for that store.
Checking Off Items
As you go through your list, tap the checkbox to mark it as purchased. You can customize how tapping works (checkbox only vs. tap anywhere) in your Shopping List Settings.
You can also consolidate purchased items to keep your list organized by separating purchased items from what you still need. Manage this and clear purchased items from the three-dot menu in the upper right.
Manually Adding Items
Add items your meal plan doesn't already account for using the Add Item button at the bottom of your list, or add several at once from your Staples List.
Tap Add Item.
Enter the item's Title, Amount, and Unit.
Assign it to a Store and grocery category.
Tap the checkmark to save or tap Return on your keyboard to quickly add multiple items back to back.
Shopping
Take your list to the store and tap off items as you shop, or send your list to a nearby grocery store with Grocery Delivery.
