Shopping List App from Recipes | MyRecipe

Auto-generate a smart grocery list from your meal plan. MyRecipe's shopping list app sorts by aisle, combines duplicates, and syncs with your family in real time.

Manually copying ingredients out of recipes into a notes app is a tax on home cooks, and it's where most meal-planning workflows fall apart. MyRecipe's shopping list app generates the entire grocery list automatically from whatever you've put on the meal calendar. Six recipes, one trip. The list is sorted by grocery-store aisle so you don't zigzag the produce section three times, and duplicate ingredients across recipes get combined automatically — 'onion' from two recipes becomes a single line item with the right quantity.

On the Family plan, the shopping list is shared. Your spouse can check off items at the store while you're still scrolling at home, and you'll see it sync in real time. Add manual items (toilet paper, dog food, that wine you like) anywhere on the list. Pin recurring staples. And because the shopping list is wired straight to the meal plan, it automatically rolls over when you change Tuesday from chicken to tacos. No more 'who has the list?' texts.

FAQ

Does the list combine duplicate ingredients automatically?

Yes. If two recipes both need 1 cup of onion, the list shows '2 cups onion' on one line, not two duplicate entries.

Is the list sorted by grocery-store aisle?

Yes — produce, dairy, meat, pantry, frozen, etc. You can reorder aisles to match your store.

Can my partner and I share one list?

Yes, on the Family plan. The list syncs in real time across every household member, so checking an item off updates everyone's screen.
