Remember the good old days when the grocery list was stuck to the refrigerator (probably with a magnet), and everyone simply wrote down what they needed?
Of course, when you needed to go shopping you had to actually remember to bring the list with you.
Or you had to make an extra trip home to get the list. Or maybe you just went off the store without it.
Times Have Changed
Nowadays, grocery lists can be kept on smartphones, which pretty much eliminates the problem of forgetting your food list altogether. What’s more, there are literally hundreds of apps available that can help you significantly improve your shopping experience.
Simple list apps like Google Keep turn that list-stuck-to-the-refrigerator into an online checklist that all members of the household can easily update whenever they feel the need.
Grocery iQ is a great app for you and other household members to keep track of your grocery bill.
Other apps, like Out of Milk and Check Out 51, not only keep track of prices but will even update you about local coupons and sales. Some use GPS technology to notify you if you pass by a store that’s having a sale.
There are also a number of more specialized grocery apps out there. Apps like Big Oven, for instance, will suggest recipes based on what’s already in your fridge, and then update your grocery list so you’ll have all the other ingredients you need to try out new recipes.
The Next Smartphone Problem
Let’s talk about the new problem that bringing your phone into the grocery store brings: Glare.
We’ve all seen shoppers in the store who are craning their wrist in an attempt to position their phone at just the right angle. Thanks to the extra-bright overhead lights that are found in most grocery stores, it’s not always easy to read your list, or to operate those convenient apps.
You’ve probably been in this situation yourself: First, you try to hold your phone over your head, but end up blinding yourself by the ceiling lights in the process. Then you try a more eye-level stance, but moving your phone to different angles causes the orientation of your screen to flip.
Then there’s the most popular solution: holding your phone close to your chest with one hand, while using your other hand to block out as much light as possible. Of course, this leave zero hands free for shopping …
