Weekly Staples

Weekly Staples are items you always want to have in stock. Set them up once, and they'll automatically appear in your shopping list when running low.

Setting Up Weekly Staples

  1. Add items - Go to Weekly Staples and add items you always want stocked (milk, eggs, bread, butter, etc.)
  2. Set target quantities - Define how much of each item you typically want on hand
  3. Automatic tracking - When inventory drops below your target, items appear in your shopping list
  4. Smart addition - Items that run out completely are automatically added to your Staples list
📋 Example Staples

Common staples include: milk, eggs, bread, butter, salt, pepper, cooking oil, rice, pasta, and your family's favorite snacks.

Shopping Tips

  • Check before you go - Review your Quick Shop list before heading to the store
  • Organize by aisle - Items are grouped logically to minimize walking back and forth
  • Update after shopping - Mark items as purchased to update your pantry automatically
  • Use filters - Filter by category or store section for faster shopping
⚠️ Remember

Always update your inventory after shopping to keep your pantry data accurate for future shopping lists.
