Shopping list

See what a meal needs. See what the kitchen already has.

The list is for the gap. Add missing ingredients from a meal, add low-stock items, or type what you need. It does not silently build a weekly shop, and it does not know the supermarket’s aisles.

Dietrack shopping list with items to buy, next to kitchen context.

A shopping list is most useful when it starts from the meal and subtracts the kitchen.

  • Two truths, neither complete

    The meal wants coconut milk. The pantry already has a tin. If those facts live in different places, you buy another tin.

  • A plan that dumps 40 items on you

    Dietrack does not auto-generate a full weekly shop from a silent meal plan. You choose what to add.

  • Theatre categories

    “Asian aisle” is not the same as knowing your store. Category on an item is metadata, not a map.

Add the gap. Tick it off. Food can come home to the kitchen.

You can add missing meal ingredients and low-stock kitchen items to a shopping list, then tick them off. Already have it? Leave it off the list. Purchased items can go back into your kitchen. Photograph a receipt to add names (and quantities when detected) after you confirm them. Receipts do not save prices. For the paper method, see how to make a grocery list.

Four ways food reaches the list.

Meal

Add what this idea is missing

When a meal lists extras, you tap to add them. Nothing is added until you do.

A meal idea with missing ingredients you can add to the list.

Kitchen

Offer low-stock items

Low stock is mostly a quantity heuristic, not a status you toggle. You still choose whether it belongs on this shop.

Kitchen items that can be offered for the shopping list when stock looks low.

Hand

Type the rest

Name, quantity, unit, category, notes, priority. Household sharing is not available.

A shopping list you can edit by hand.

Home

Tick purchased, restock if you want

Check items as bought, mark all, or remove purchased. Purchased items can restock kitchen inventory.

Confirming receipt items before they join pantry inventory.

What this list will not pretend to be.

  • Not a store

    No orders, prices, promotions, or supermarket stock.

  • Not a shared household list

    One account, one list. There is no user-facing share.

  • Not a second inventory

    The kitchen still holds what you have. The list holds what you still need.

  • Not aisle routing

    Group by how you shop on paper if you want. Dietrack does not map your store.
