Groceries and shopping

What you might call it Where to find it in Mirepoix
shopping list The Groceries page is your shopping list — a cart you fill from the Pantry or by typing items in.
what do I have at home / my inventory The Pantry isn’t an inventory count — it’s a restock list of what your Menu calls for, showing how soon to buy each thing again.
sort my grocery list by store section Set or change which aisle an item falls under on Editing aisles.
shop one store at a time Set up stores and shop each one on its own with Grouping by store.
add something that’s not from a recipe (paper towels) Add anything off-recipe with Custom items.
shopping with no signal / no wifi at the store The grocery list keeps working without a connection — see Shopping without a signal.
