![]() And you can keep track of recipes you’ve used and where they came from, and go back and add the ingredients to your current shopping list. Sometimes it’s hard to know when you’ve doubled or halved certain ingredients, and when you haven’t. I love it so, and one of the super great things is that you can multiply your recipe totals IN THE APP. Which I am now reminded of nearly 10 months later and vaguely embarrassed because I’m 99% sure that my own recipes wouldn’t import. I mentioned the recipe importation problem, and he explained how that worked, and that it’s basically recipe metadata that not all sites use, but I could send them that link and they could add it to their recipes. So while adding things to the list on my phone is easy, if I’m trying to import a recipe (and thus the list of ingredients that go with it), if I’m having problems getting the recipe to import, I can do it more easily manually using the web-version.Īnd this is a great time to mention their customer service, because a few days after I made the purchase for premium, I got an email from the CO-FOUNDER (That’s right – one of the guys in the pictures on this page!) and he asked if I was having issues, had any questions, what I liked, etc. I also love that with the premium version I can access my lists online at my computer at work. This is a feature you can use if you have the premium version, and is a big part of why I upgraded. Other features that I love: you can import recipes from websites and blogs. As you can see, when you have a minimal list, you don’t necessarily have to get the shopping cart every single time, since I’m less tempted to buy things that aren’t on the list.īut in this case, I did go off list slightly – I “bought” some greek yogurt that was free because of other items on my list. ![]() Here’s a very recent grocery list and what my basket looked like as I shopped. Found items get a big red line through them, and you can see what’s left to purchase. And crossing off items is easy, and visually pleasing. In the premium version, I can also categorize items by store, so I know that I should get my baby carrots at Harris Teeter or Trader Joe’s, and avoid getting them at Whole Foods (where they are too fat, and not smaller and bite sized the way that I like them. ![]() It’s easy to add notes to my items so that I know to buy enough. This was my main problem in the past – I would wander back and forth because I had forgotten about those shallots lower on the list and that they too were in the produce, and it wasn’t only lemons and spinach that I needed. Anylist will automatically categorize the items you add so that when you go to the store, you can see all the produce items, all the frozen items, all the beverage, or dairy or whatever. So let me tell you a little about what it is and what it does. And probably a week after I downloaded the app, I decided I wanted to upgrade to the paid version. In a review of list app roundups, I stumbled upon Anylist, and downloaded it almost immediately. That I could add to during the week, would organize by section of the store, would potentially do meal planning. Something that would manage my list, and potentially more. And buying one thing “off list” made it easier to buy other things off the list. And I would sometimes forget simple things, or forget to put standard purchases on there too. My problem for a while is that my list consisted of a post-it note that I crammed every item on during work. Which is why you’ll find personal finance bloggers across the internet saying that one of the best and easiest ways to save money grocery shopping is by using a list. But even with hating shopping, it’s easy to get distracted and buy more than you need. Going to the store when there’s no purpose is my idea of torture, which is why I only go out when I need something.
