Grocery List

How to generate and manage your grocery list from your weekly dinner plan.

Dinnerbord builds your grocery list from the ingredients in the week's locked dinners. You generate it whenever you're ready to shop.

Generating the list

Go to Grocery in the sidebar and press Regenerate. Dinnerbord reads the week's locked dinners and adds up their ingredients into a single list. If the same ingredient appears in several recipes with the same unit, the quantities are combined. Leftover days don't add anything.

Each week has its own list. Pick a date at the top of the page to switch to that week.

Checking off items

Tick the box in the Done column as you shop. Other members see your ticks the next time their list refreshes.

Adding items manually

Add one-off items that aren't part of any recipe (e.g. dish soap) in the row at the bottom of the list. Enter the item and an optional quantity and unit, then press Add.

Regenerating the list

Press Regenerate again at any time to rebuild the recipe ingredients from the current plan. Items you added manually are kept.
