Grocery lists can be a pain, but one of my favorite apps solve common problems. Perfect for couples or roommates who split shopping duties, Grocery IQ allows multiple people to add to a list and lets viewers check off items in real time, so you can divide and conquer at the store. Grocery IQ requires a bit more tech-savvy and initial set-up and customization than some other apps, but pays dividends in its extra functionality. Grocery IQ allows multiple contributors to a list, but it includes a bar code scanner, so you can scan products as you use them up and have them automatically added to next week’s list.
