  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update makes your shopping list and pantry more accurate, especially with recipes inside other recipes and packages of different sizes. SHOPPING LIST • Change a list item's package size and the number to buy changes with it, so you always get enough. Quick Edit shows what that number comes to. • A bigger package no longer shows as short when it covers your planned meals. • A recipe's cart button now explains why your list needs a food that's running low, and gives you the same choices as the list. • The aisle review comes up once a trip for each store. PANTRY AND RECIPES • A recipe used inside another recipe now counts everywhere: your shopping list, your pantry and Meals That Need It. • Change how much of a food you've already had and your pantry changes to match. • Package Holds now sits right under Package Size for every food, and follows Servings per package unless you've set your own. MEAL PLAN • On a meal several people share, you can now set your own amount of a food to None. • The note about foods with no nutrition now opens a list of those foods. SEARCH • Search finds foods even when a brand is spelled a little differently.
