Grocery shopping, reinvented.

Going out for grocery shopping? Make sure you have the Grocery List Generator (GLG) app on your device and you’ll be well-prepared! The GLG helps organize your recipes and create a tidy and complete shopping list. Enter your own recipes including all the necessary ingredients. And yes, there’s room for your toothpaste and laundry detergent as well. Add all your stores and make your own aisle mapping to create a shopping list optimized for each store. To make your list, simply tap some recipes check your stock items and finish it off by selecting any non-food items you need. GLG makes grocery shopping easy and fun!

The main GLG features:
- Enter your recipes including description, ingredients, quantities and photo;
- Add recipe ingredients and other groceries to the extensive built-in items list;
- The sync feature keeps everything up to date on your own devices, or on your partners device;
- Add all your stores and sort aisles in the right order;
- Share a recipe or your grocery list with friends through Twitter, email or copying the link;
- Import recipes from other GLG app users;
- Use your synced grocery list on your Pebble Watch;

Creating a grocery list and shopping:
- Simply tap a recipe from the list to add all its ingredients to your shopping list;
- Complete your shopping list by adding non recipe related items;
- Your shopping list is automatically sorted, based on your own stores and aisle mapping;
- While shopping tap items to move them to your “In my cart” list;

Advanced GLG features.
- Search recipes and ingredients by keyword;
- Separate non-food items from recipe ingredients (because toothpaste and macaroni dont mix);
- Create a stock item if you want to only manually add it to your shopping list;
- The order of aisles can be easily modified;
- Merge two aisles into one to easily reorganize your items.

Try before you buy: Lite version.
We also offer a Lite version of the Grocery List Generator app if you’d like to try it out first. The Lite version offers the same features as the standard version, but the number of recipes and items you can add, is limited. If you’re happy with it, you can buy the full version for unlimited storage!

Excellent app. Easy to use and edit. Thanks for developing this.
Does everything I want, syncs to all my devices, AND has a pebble app. Awesome! Also the "stock" and "recipe" sorting features are really nice! Request: colour coding for groups would be cool Update pebble app for pebble time (coloured)
I love this app!! It helps me out so much!!! Just try it and youll think the same!!
Can you think about changing "my list" to reflect the order of aisles that I have rearranged?

Some bad moments

Does everything what the description says and even much more. You have to use this application to see how useful and well thought out it is. Not only is it a great grocery list generator, the recipe section is a separate mega feature on its own. Awesome work, Captain Caveman!
I downloaded several shopping apps to try. This has been the best! After trying the free version, I was so impressed I bought the full version. Its very easy to use. You can add and delete anything you wish. You can create you own categories and arrange them in any order that works for you. I take my iPad everywhere so I wont ever forget a shopping list again! Thanks for making it easy!
It is exactly what I have been looking for. I have downloaded 3 different apps hoping they would meet my needs and this one finally has. Keep up the good work!
While I like the idea of shopping for ingredients based on recipes, but the available units for measuring ingredients leaves a lot to be desired. This app would be more functional if the ingredient measurements included cups, ounces, tablespoons and teaspoons. Also having the ability to manually enter the exact quantity would be helpful.
This app as helped organize and streamline my weekly grocery shopping between my wife and myself. It takes time to set up the first time but comes back to you in a more streamline list. The sync feature is great to keep the list between my wifes devices and mine up to date. The only enhancement that I would suggest is a pricing list to help you budget as well.
I really love this because I can use it at the store for shopping and in the kitchen for making the recipes....AND i love that i can share recipes w friends via email. However, I am really frustrated w the non-American measurements. Please please please add cups, teaspoons, etc. to the amounts! Thanks for the great app overall.
