grocery list app

I do not have a smart phone, nor do I have a computer in my kitchen or anything elaborate like that. I would simple like recommendations on any applications that others have found to be useful for keeping recipes and printing out grocery lists.

"Notepad and a good directory/file structure.

Seriously, I have tried everything in the past, but nothing works as well!

At any one moment, I have about 6 notepad windows open (which can become annoying, so thinking of switching to a multi-tabbed variant), but I find this very good - fast to open, prints well - works the way I want it to!"

"I use Allrecipes.com to organize my recipes, find new recipes, and make grocery lists. You can create private recipes only viewable to you, as well as public recipes that anyone can share and rate. Of course, you can also add other people's public recipes to your ""Recipe Book,"" rate them as you try them out, and categorize your favorite recipes however you like. There's not much sense in fumbling around trying to bend general-purpose software to your will when there's already a domain-specific solution that was built from the ground up do exactly what you need.

One of my favorite features of Allrecipes.com is that many of the recipes have been rated by hundreds of other users, and that they also often provide additional preparation tips. Another handy feature is a converter which allows you to enter the number of servings you want to produce, then shows you the modified list of ingredients.

You can also use the website to build a shopping list from selected recipes, which you can then print out and take along with you to the store."

I'll throw in my own method too (I like to cook a lot of things). Google docs, with a link to each recipe if there is one. It is just line delimented with categories like lunch. I then write down a recipe and usually know the ingredients by recipe alone, but sometimes I forget things and go back :(.

"Shopping List - Quickly make your shopping lists and print them sorted by aisle.

Simply make a shopping list by dragging items from the 'supermarket shelves' into your current weekly list - edit the quantities you need and print it.

it doesn't get much easier, except you still have to go to the supermarket yourself ;)

more of the same here: SHOPPING - FREE SOFTWARE"

I would highly recommend Remember The Milk. It's very powerful and customizable so it can be used for Work, Home, Grocery, etc. One of the best applications I've ever used.
