How to make a grocery list on your phone you can tick off
Short answer: make one checklist note per store, add items as you run out, tick them off in the aisle, and pin the list to your home screen so it is one tap away.
1. One list per store
A single “Groceries” note works for most people. If you shop at two places, make two notes and give each its own color so you can find it at a glance.
2. Add items the moment you run out
The list only works if it is always with you. Add milk when you finish the milk, not when you are already at the store.
3. Tick as you shop
Tap each item as it goes in the cart. Done items should drop to the bottom so the remaining ones stay on top.
4. Reuse it
Most weekly shopping repeats. Keep the list and untick items instead of retyping it.
5. Put it on the home screen
A checklist widget means you never hunt for the list in the store.
Doing it with Tickcard
In Tickcard make a yellow card, turn it into a checklist and type your items. Tap a circle to tick; done items slide down and the card shows progress like 3/8. Add the checklist widget to tick items without opening the app, and set a reminder like “Saturday 10 AM” if you shop on a schedule.
