The List Shop allows you to build your list not just from items, but from dishes and other lists. Dishes are easy to create - just enter the ingredients you need. Once created, add a dish to a list, and all the items needed for that dish are added. Or, say you can't find that specialty ingredient at the store and want to remove the dish from your list. Delete the dish, and all the items for that dish are removed. We recognize that most people have a few lists going at a time; what to get next week, what to get for dinner tonight, what to get at the bulk store, what to get each week. That's why The List Shop allows you to manage multiple lists, and move items back and forth between them. Don't have what you need at the store, or it's too expensive? Move that item to another list, and check another store. Need to turn that quick shopping trip at the store into a trip for staples? Add your list of basics to your current list, and you're ready to go. How many times have you asked why it is you put an item on your shopping list? The List Shop shows the sources for each item added from a dish or list. Get a quick overview of what you shopped for by viewing the legend of a list. The List Shop is also accessible at https://www.the-list-shop.com, allowing you to build your list on the web site, and shop from your iPhone in the store. Because the internet connection in stores can sometimes be unreliable, The List Shop provides an offline mode, and seamlessly merges changes when back online again. Features: * Manage multiple lists * Create your own personalized items * Create your own dishes quickly and easily * Transparent offline mode, for those stores where reception is weak * Show and hide crossed off items * List Legend
