Although buying more than you need may not seem like such a big deal, it can lead to disastrous consequences if done consistently for years, especially if it leads to hoarding. Excessive hoarding can affect air quality in your home, cause emergencies, and prevent first responders from providing necessary care. To prevent hoarding, it’s best to use lists, which can help you keep track of expired goods, low stock, and urgent pantry needs.
Using AnyList, you can shop groceries more mindfully by creating recipe-based organized lists, sharing them with your housemates or family members, building mastery grocery lists, and customizing lists to match your local store’s range. There’s also no excuse for family members not to know the right brands because you can add photos to list items, too. Aside from this, you can passcode protect your lists and get reminders when you’re near the right store.
With AnyList, you can shop online and opt for pick-up or grocery delivery directly from the app, so you will be less tempted to view unrelated items in-store or online. AnyList is available for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC. You can even access lists through Apple Watch, Siri, home screen widgets, and other smart home devices, like Alexa.
Although not as comprehensive, you can also opt to use the built-in note-taking app on your mobile phone. For example, the iOS Notes app comes with file attachments, folders, and can be accessed across your Apple account-linked devices.
