Planning the week's meals is one thing. Actually getting all the right ingredients into the house is another.
From today, SimpliHome bridges that gap automatically. The Smart Shopping List is live — and it's free on every plan.
#What It Does
Once you've filled your meal planner for the week, hit the Shopping List button. SimpliHome reads every recipe-based meal in your plan and instantly produces a complete grocery list.
No copying. No manual totting up. No opening five browser tabs.
#The Details That Actually Matter
#Scaled to the People Eating Each Meal
This is the part that makes the difference.
A pasta recipe that serves 4 is fine when the whole family is home. But if it's just two of you on Tuesday night, you don't need twice the spaghetti. SimpliHome looks at which household members are assigned to each meal and adjusts every ingredient quantity accordingly.
- Recipe serves 4, only 2 members assigned → quantities halve
- Recipe serves 2, all 4 members eating → quantities double
- No members assigned → full recipe quantities used as-is
You get exactly what you need. Nothing more.
#Duplicates Merged Intelligently
Olive oil in your pasta on Monday. Olive oil in your roast chicken on Sunday. Rather than listing it twice, SimpliHome adds them together into a single line. Same for every ingredient that appears across multiple meals.
You end up with one clean list, not a chaos of repetition.
#Grouped by Supermarket Category
The list is organised by category — produce, meat, fish, dairy, bakery, pantry, condiments — so you can work through the supermarket aisle by aisle rather than scanning up and down a random list.
#Print-Ready
Click Print and you get a clean, portrait-format page with nothing extraneous on it. Take it to the shops, tick things off as you go.
#How to Use It
- Go to Recipes → Meal Planner
- Add your meals for the week (assign household members to each meal if you want scaled quantities)
- Click Shopping List
- Review the list, then print or keep the tab open on your phone
That's it.
#It's Free on All Plans
The Smart Shopping List is available to every SimpliHome household — free plan included. No upgrade required.
We think getting your shopping right is a fundamental part of family organisation, not a premium add-on.
#What's Next
The shopping list currently works with recipe-based meals. We're working on:
- Pantry awareness — cross off things you already have before the list is generated
- Supermarket integration — send your list directly to an online basket
If there's something specific you'd like to see, let us know.
Happy shopping. 🛒
