I'm looking for a good way to share grocery lists in my household. Currently we're using Grocy but it has too much bells and whistles.
It's really nice that Grocy suggests known products and can be used with the android app. But the process of adding new products feels a bit tedious.
I'm curious what other setups there are. Any suggestions?
My family uses a custom Todo list on home assistant. I've got a separate dashboard of items we can just click to add to the grocery list, and then when shopping, checking them will move them out of the way. Very convenient, quick, and shared. So if you use HA, it might be good option, especially since you're wanting something simpler (I was in the same boat)
I'll add another vote to how good Google Keep is for this, but as this is a privacy community, I'm not sure that is a suggestion that you want to hear.
I've also had good luck sharing documents with Syncthing, but because we tend to only have it sync on wifi it didn't work as well for groceries specifically because you can't add items to the list after the person shopping has left the home and expect them to see them.
Recently started using Appflowy for this, as a replacement for shared Apple Reminders/Notes.
You could use pad.riseup.net as a perfunctory solution. It's just a text file that anyone with the link can edit, but Riseup is privacy-focussed.
An app named "Bring!". It's pretty barebones, the only few features in it are
- shared list
- organise items by category
- recipe ingredients (as in save the ingredients for a recipe and then add the recipe to add all the ingredients to the list)
It's pretty much all we need.
Given it's microsoft, it's a no from me personally, but their todo app is very good.
Since I couldn't pry my parents away from ms office anyway, I set them up on this specifically for groceries. They really like it.
