Grocery shopping apps

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don’t like is the interface for both of them. I don’t see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?

Obsidian?

EarMaster,

Interesting thought. I found this blog post, but I think this is not what I’m looking for.

Another thought: I use grocy (or at least try to use it) to have an overview of my stock and know when an open item in the fridge neeeds to be used before spoiling. But I just use a shared note on nextcloud for shopping, which is good enough for two people. But of course there is no meal planning or recipe management

starkzarn,

Ran into a similar conundrum. We use mealie for recipe management and occasionally meal planning, but the shopping list is clunky. We resorted to just making a list on a card in Planks. Not purpose-built, but it has worked rather well for us.

MrBadApple,

Are there any tools that use published store ads to help with local sales when shopping?

It’s not foss or self hostable, but Flipp does this. Pulls weekly ads you can compare.

I really like tandoor reciepe. Maybe not exactly what your are looking for, but who knows :).

I like how the meal planner works and that you can save your own meal reciepes, add them to a grocery list…

BUT it is maybe a bit too complex and to much features?

EarMaster,

I like the recipe management, but I dislike the grocery list for the same reason I don’t like Grocy. It is just too complex and hard to use in the store.

N0x0n,

Yeah, I know !

How I do it:

I bought a mobile holder for bicycles, and put it on the cart when I’m in the store. It works, its not perfect but I does what I need !

But i totally agree that the grocery list could be better integrated, but it’s FOSS, self-hosted and free. So I’m happy :)

thisfro,

For meal planning and shopping lists, grocy os completely overkill.

You could look at Kitchen Owl, it even looks like bring! and you can use meal planning :)

palitu,

Sigh. Time to give it a crack. I was happy with bring! Now i need to change

thisfro,

Hehe

EarMaster,

It looks promising. Thanks for the suggestion.

ioslife,

Been using it for a few months. It’s pretty good. A few annoying things, but my wife and I have figured out how to make it work for us

I’ve been extremely fond of “Our Groceries” for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can’t use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.

SirMino,

I really like Our Groceries, but AFAIK it’s not self hosted nor foss

EarMaster,

I will have a look into it.
