![]() ![]() Today I wanted to check back into a post I shared recently about how we’ve been approaching meal planning. I’m curious, do you use Reminders or another app for your grocery list? Do you just throw things on it like I used to do? Do you have one big list or lists by store? Let me know in the comments. For each subtask I set a location-based reminder so that when we’re near that particular store, say Costco, I get a notification that we need something. In these cases, I have an “Other” section at the bottom of our list and list those special buys as subtasks. However, Aldi doesn’t always have everything we need, or we just prefer to buy certain things at other stores. I mentioned earlier that we primarily shop at Aldi. In these cases, I delete the duplicate to keep the “Show Completed” from becoming a cluttered mess. Worth noting here, I tend to add things throughout the week as we run out, so occasionally I end up with two copies of those staples (the completed one, and the incomplete one I added through Siri). If I see something we need, I’ll uncheck it. This gives me a running list of things we’ve added in the past, making it an easy trigger list to see staples I might have missed. When putting together the grocery list, I toggle show completed. Using Show Completed When Making the List This means that as long as we’re paying attention, we can go through the store in one direction without having to double back for an ingredient. Actual grocery items are then listed as subtasks. Because we generally shop at the same store, we have headings for each section of the store (in all caps so they stand out), organized in the order of the store. I’d say the biggest change to how we use our shopping list came with iOS 13’s introduction of subtasks. This makes it easy to check what’s on sale when I’m making the list.
