Auto-Generated Shopping Lists
How shopping lists are automatically created from your meal plan.
Auto-Generated Shopping Lists
Your shopping list is automatically generated from your weekly meal plan—no manual work required.
How It Works
When you plan meals:
- The app collects all ingredients from your planned recipes
- Combines duplicate ingredients (2 recipes need onions = 1 larger quantity)
- Organizes items by store category
- Excludes items you already have in your pantry
View Your List
Click Shop in the navigation to see your shopping list.
The list shows:
- Item name and quantity
- Store category (Produce, Dairy, etc.)
- Which recipe needs it
Smart Combining
The app intelligently combines ingredients:
| Recipe 1 | Recipe 2 | Shopping List | |----------|----------|---------------| | 1 onion | 2 onions | 3 onions | | 1 cup rice | 2 cups rice | 3 cups rice | | Salt | Salt | Salt (once) |
Update Automatically
Your shopping list updates when you:
- Add or remove meals from the plan
- Change recipe servings
- Add items to your pantry

Review your list before shopping—you might already have some items at home!
