Simple online grocery list maker
Turn your recipes into one grocery list, then shop only what you need.
How the grocery list maker works
Add ingredients from recipes, paste a list, or pull from your saved meal plan. Spoon Simple categorizes each item, merges duplicates, and keeps checked items in sync when you sign in.
Build from recipes or a meal plan
Family meal planning is easier when shopping matches cooking. Start with our family dinner meal plan, add the nights you will cook, then generate one list for the week.
