Searching on grocery in the App Store returns around 40 matches, so this is a popular concept. To keep the size of this comparative review somewhat manageable, however, I chose to focus solely on those programs that were specifically targeted to grocery shopping. As such, any standard To Do application could support grocery lists as well as a standalone app. But a new class of iPhone programs has emerged to at least tackle the paper list problem: grocery list apps.Īt its core, a grocery list app is simply a customized To Do application, with features targeted specifically at managing lists of groceries. I can’t do anything about most of my grocery shopping dislikes-a man’s got to eat, after all. But that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy the crowds, the cost, the challenges of keeping the children in control, and dealing with an unwieldy paper list of items to be purchased, created in a basically random order. So why not stop, you ask? Because, really, grocery shopping is somewhat essential to getting the family through the week. Yet there I am, week after week, repeating the process.
Dislike it so much, in fact, that I’d rather not do it. Every week, I do something I really dislike.
