I have to confess, I rarely ever use the little Reminders app on my iPhone. It just feels faster to use a good old fashioned piece of paper and a pen to make my shopping lists.
But, I had a list epiphany this afternoon!
Yes, the Reminders app is app-solutely perfect for making an ingredients list for a recipe!
Maybe it's just me, but I find myself at the grocery store all the time and can't remember which ingredients I need for a specific recipe. Really, this happens much more often than I want to admit.
Now, I can have those favorite recipes with me at all times! Just have to find all the recipes and then find the time to type them into the Reminders app and I'll be all set!
That recipe list for Onion Soup Mix came from Good Cheap Eats and I can't wait to try it in my next meat loaf!
I don't have that app but I think I may need it because I always forget things at the grocery store. Always.
ReplyDeletei always leave the store feeling a little more senile than when i went in! not enjoying the getting old part!
DeleteThat's a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI also use a shopping list app on my iPhone and I think it is just awesome. Love it!
what app do you use? i'll have to check it out!
DeleteIt is called "Einkaufsliste Pro Edition". It is in German but I guess you could use it, too. It is not very difficult to use. You can make different shopping lists (e.g. one for groceries, one for the drugstore, one for the pharmacy.. you get the idea. You decide what you need). Then you can make categories like dairy products, fruit and vegetables, ... and then you note down the exact product you need like milk, salad, ... You can also add the price for the respective item, so you know what it is going to cost you at the checkout. If you tick something off your list it disappears but you can add it back very easily if you need it again in the future. Oh, and you can syncronise it with dropbox, so your husband will know that you already bought sugar and he does not need to do it when he goes to the supermarket in the evening after work for example.
DeleteI love it, it is so much more convenient than paper and a pen. If you want an English one I am sure there are plenty other apps working similarly.
definitely like the idea that Casey and I could have the same list!
