Grocery Gadget for iPhone

Create grocery lists on the go

Grocery Gadget is an app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch that allows you to create a list of grocery items you need to buy on your next shopping trip.

Handwritten grocery lists are easy to misplace, especially for people with busy lives. Grocery Gadget, on the other hand, is programmed into your mobile device, ready to go when you are. Add onto it whenever another food item you need to buy occurs to you.

Grocery Gadget's inventory is pretty impressive. Just search for the items you want to add to it, and a selection will appear with more specifications to choose from. If you type in that you need to buy milk, for example, Grocery Gadget gives you the option of choosing chocolate milk, nonfat, low-fat, and whole milk. From there you can also search for coupons to area stores with relative ease. If Grocery Gadget coupons are found, you can save them and have the grocery store's cashier scan them with a bar code that appears on your mobile device.

Unfortunately, Grocery Gadget's lite version only lets you add 20 list items at a time. This is fine for small shopping trips, but might not quite work for larger expeditions. In order to use the coupon feature, you also need to sign up for another online program. This might be a turn-off for some users.

Grocery Gadget is both an efficient way to manage your shopping lists and a time-saving way to find coupons.
