Grocery list and Pantry
Build a shopping list from recipes and your plan, shop it aisle by aisle, and keep track of what's at home.
The Grocery tab has two lists: Grocery for what to buy and Pantry for what you already have. Switch between them at the top.
Add to your list
- From a recipe: tap + beside Ingredients, or swipe an ingredient left and tap Add.
- From your plan: in Plan, tap •••, then Grocery.
- By hand: tap + in Grocery, type an item and pick a suggestion.
The same ingredient from different recipes is combined into one line, so you see "3 onions" once instead of three separate lines.
Tick things off
Tap the circle when an item is in your cart. After a few seconds it moves down to Bought. Tapped the wrong one? Tap it again before it moves.
The list is grouped by aisle. To group it by recipe or show newest first, change the sort with the button at the top. Tap an amount to change it, or swipe an item left to delete it.
Move bought items to your Pantry
Swipe right on a bought item and tap Pantry. It moves to the Pantry side, filed under its aisle.
- Do it automatically: turn on Auto-move bought to Pantry in Settings → Grocery and choose how long to wait, from 1 day to 2 weeks. RecipeOwl moves them the next time you open Grocery.
- Used something up? Tick it in Pantry and it moves to Used Up.
Storage tips
Fridge and freezer icons show where items keep best. Swipe an item left and tap Info for how to store it and how long it lasts.
You can hide the icons with Show storage icons in Settings.
