Shopping List

Updated

Adding to the list

There are several ways to fill your shopping list:

  • From a recipe: tap the cart button at the bottom of the recipe page. Ingredients are added at the serving size you've chosen.
  • From your meal plan: tap Add Week to Shopping List on the Meal Plan.
  • From your pantry: add items that are running low, or the ingredients a recipe is missing. See Pantry.
  • By hand: type an item in the Add an item… field at the top of the list, such as 2 lemons, and press return.

Combined and de-duplicated

When several recipes need the same ingredient, Sprig puts it on the list once and combines the amounts. An item shows how many recipes it came from, for example "3 recipes".

When you add recipes or a meal plan, anything already in your pantry is left off the list, unless you've marked it as running low. Sprig tells you how many items it skipped.

Grouped by aisle

Items are sorted into aisles automatically, so you can work through the shop in order:

Produce, Meat & Seafood, Dairy & Eggs, Bakery, Pantry, Spices, Frozen, Beverages, and Other.

While you shop

Tap an item to tick it off. Checked items move to the bottom of their aisle with a line through them. Swipe an item to delete it.

The Options menu has:

Your list syncs through iCloud, so you can build it on your Mac and tick it off on your iPhone in the shop.

On iPad and Mac

With the Shopping section open, the right-hand column shows how many items are left to buy and how many you've checked off, plus the recipes you're shopping for. Click a recipe to open it.
