Adding Ingredients to Your Grocery List from the Meal Plan

Last updated: April 2026

How to add the week's ingredients

  1. Open the Meal Plan tab.
  2. Tap Add to Groceries (shopping cart icon) for the current week.
  3. Grocerly:
    • Extracts every ingredient from every recipe planned for the week
    • Merges duplicates — if two recipes both need olive oil, the quantities are added together
    • Restores any previously checked-off items back to unchecked
    • Remembers which color category each item belongs to from last time
    • Runs Smart Sort automatically to organize the list by supermarket section
  4. Your grocery list is ready to shop.

What about items already on my list?

If an ingredient is already on your grocery list (unchecked), Grocerly won't add it again — it will increase the quantity if needed. Already-checked items are reset to unchecked so you remember to buy them again.
