Adding Ingredients to Your Grocery List from the Meal Plan
Last updated: April 2026
How to add the week's ingredients
- Open the Meal Plan tab.
- Tap Add to Groceries (shopping cart icon) for the current week.
- 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
- 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.
