Type 2 Hi Friends App That Gives Receipe And Shopping List.

[Motherhen2014]

Hi friends I may be looking for something that doesn’t exist but I want a free app that will give me a receipe and add the items to a shopping list.
I maybe asking too much just wondering if anyone has found one please.

One of our major retail food stores has a shopping app that has a some recipes which can be sent to a shopping list. Your major store should have apps that are similar to Woolworth's android app here.

We still rely on a paper shopping list that was designed on our first computer back in the mid 1980's and has been modified ever since. When the retailer that we shop at changes the aisles around is the worst offender.

not an app as such but www.dietdoctor.com has great recipes and if you join the pay section I believe it has a shopping list function. Otherwise just copy and paste the ingredients to a list.

I just look at a recipe, fancy it and jot down the ingredients on a scrap of paper or send a list to the phone of whomever is getting the shopping.

I use a website, and matching app called CopyMeThat to pull my recipe/food ideas together. In essence, it allows me to store a recipe from, say, the BBC website in the same place as something from an internet blogger or even Facebook or the forum here.

Once I have saved the recipe to my account, I can add all the ingredients for it to a shopping list. I can then edit the shopping list to add or remove items. I'd obviously remove items I already had at home, like, say spices. The same process also allows me to create a meal plan for a period of time, should I so wish.

The site/app is free, so you could give it a go. There is a premium version of the site, which I have never felt I needed, and to be clear although I have just experimented with the process right now, I have never actually used the meal planner or shopping list facilities in the live environment.

I'm a fan of CopyMeThat. It works for me, but I have no attachment to the business that created it.

Some UK supermarkets also have their own recipes section which give a link to the ingredients they stock in the form of a shopping list and you can add these (or selection of them) to your shopping basket online.

There are also various independent UK sites which will do similar but give you a list of supermarkets to choose from. (I can't tell you what these are, as I've just come across them when searching for a recipe, but never used the option...)

I tend to save interesting recipes to my computer though and use these to check which ingredients I may need to buy, but I'm a techie dinosaur and come from the days well before they ever invented apps...
