Grocery list generator

Paste the recipe links, or paste the ingredient lines themselves, and this grocery list generator does the four steps doing it by hand would take: it extracts every ingredient, merges the duplicates across recipes, reconciles the units into what you actually buy, and groups the result by store aisle so you walk the shop once.

It works with any site that publishes its recipe in the standard schema.org format, which is most of them, because search engines require it for recipe rich results. Some sites block automated readers. When a link cannot be read the tool says so, and you can paste that recipe's ingredients instead, which always works.

Yes, and there is no signup. Nothing is stored on a server. Your list is kept in your own browser so it survives a refresh, and Clear removes it.

Yes, that is what the Recipe links mode is for: paste the URLs and it reads the ingredient list each page publishes, then merges them. Sites that block automated readers will fail, and the tool says so rather than guessing - paste those ingredients in by hand and the result is identical.

Both, depending on where you start. Give it one recipe and it is a grocery list maker. Give it a week of them and it is a meal plan grocery list, because the merging is what turns seven dinners into one shop.

Because you walk a store by section, not by recipe. A list in recipe order sends you from produce to the bread aisle and back to dairy. The same list grouped into produce, dairy, pantry and so on lets you sweep the store in one pass, which is the single biggest time saver in a grocery run.
