How to use Stashcook's shopping list:


โž• Add items to your shopping list

Tap the green + Add button to include ingredients manually, or add items directly from your Recipes or the Meal Planner.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Adding items as you plan meals helps avoid forgotten ingredients and last-minute trips to the store.

See the help doc Adding to the Shopping List for a detailed explanation.

If you add the same item twice, Stashcook will merge them automatically to keep your list neat and avoid duplicates.

When items have been merged in the shopping list the following icon appears:

Tap the merge icon on a shopping list item to view where it came from. This shows if the ingredient was added from a recipe or entered manually.


โœ… Check off items as you shop

Tap the tick box next to each item to mark it as bought. Checked items stay visible at the bottom of the shopping list until you clear them, helping you track whatโ€™s left.


๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Delete items easily

Swipe left on any item to delete it from your list. This keeps your shopping list clutter-free and up-to-date.
