Adding Items Overview

To add an item to your list, tap the Add Item field and begin typing.

As you type, you’ll see suggestions from our built-in database of grocery items, as well as items you have marked as favorites and items you’ve recently entered. You can learn more about the autocomplete suggestion icons here

When you see the name of the item you wish to add, tap the suggestion and the item will be added to your list.

If you’d like to edit the item’s details before adding it to your list, tap the pencil icon for the suggestion you would like to edit.
