not OP, but I use tandoor to host my recipes and it generates a shopping list based on what I've picked to cook this week

  this was nearly impossible to find on duckduckgo https://tandoor.dev https://tandoor.dev What a name, the only thing you get when looking for 'tandoor' or 'tandoor grocery list' are recipes for tandoori In my quest, I've also come across other promising-looking things https://kitchenowl.org https://kitchenowl.org and https://recipesage.com https://recipesage.com

Something I wrote across about eight years, trying different things and never cleaning up unused parts, so the code is a mess but this is it: https://github.com/lgommans/mpgroceries https://github.com/lgommans/mpgroceries The name (multiplayer groceries) refers to the original idea of having the software assign random items to random people, so you can both go through the store independently and not get duplicate items, for maximum efficiency, but I don't think I've used that more than once. Probably I could write a small book about all the things that you shouldn't do, like making a store layout and mapping where all the items are and then making it sort by nearest item...which, turns out, is somehow always on the other side of a wall. This routing is better than nothing, but it turns out that categorizing ("freezer", "candy", "fruit/veg") is: much simpler for the user, portable across stores, and more effective for routing as well. I've started on a rewrite with a friend, but it's very early stages and the primary purpose of the new project is to turn a list of meals into a grocery list rather than being a grocery list that you add random items to: https://codeberg.org/lucg/MealsUnveiled https://codeberg.org/lucg/MealsUnveiled The old project can also add a recipe to your grocery list, but I never wrote the code to add up amounts (it'll ignore duplicates instead)

I've been using the homeassistant shopping list integration but I'm planing to switch to "Specifically Clementines" [1] it's not as complete as grocy [2] but that's a feature. My partner will add to a list, not use an inventory managment system. 1. https://github.com/davideshay/groceries https://github.com/davideshay/groceries 2. https://github.com/grocy/grocy https://github.com/grocy/grocy

  Thanks for sharing this. I've tried to get on with Grocy but it's UI really put me off, it felt very unintuitive, cluttered and a bit like an app that had long since outgrown the initial hacked together layout.

    Yeah I had a similar reaction to Grocy, just too much. If I was single and on a super tight budget like I was as a student, maybe useful. Now it's just too stressful

The fridge. Integrations aren’t great, but 9x9’s uptime is incredible.
