Ever want to make a grocery list on one computer, and have it on the go? Or, have you ever wanted to make a grocery list that included one or more recipes on BigOven.com*?
Well now you can!
Introducing the BigOven.com Grocery List... now in beta, at http://www.bigoven.com/grocery.
Features
- Add a recipe right from the recipe page -- instead of saying "2 cloves garlic, 1 can anchovies", etc., you simply add the Caesar Salad recipe to your grocery list
- BigOven.com will let you easily eliminate the things you already have on-hand
- BigOven.com automatically guesses which aisle it’ll likely be found in. By grouping items by department/aisle, you save time in the grocery store!
- Easily add items with a single text line -- e.g., Trying entering "1 1/2 lb Chicken Breast; Boneless" and BigOven.com will figure out what the item is (Chicken Breast), the quantity (1 1/2 lbs), notes (Boneless), and Department/Aisle (Poultry)! BigOven.com learns over time what new items are added to the list; an editor approves new associations here. It’ll get smarter and smarter over time!
- Print your grocery list
- or, perhaps best of all… delegate! Quickly email it to a family member or yourself for easy access on the go!
Not yet implemented, but planned for the future:
- Easily access your grocery list from BigOven for the iPhone and BigOven Mobile Web for Blackberry and other cellphones (reachable at bigoven.com slash m)
- Scale recipes up or down before adding them to the list
- Modify/edit your grocery list on the iPhone
- Save shopping lists and retrieve them in the future
- Publish shopping list(s) from BigOven for Windows to your online list
- Allow other household members that you approve (who have BigOven logins) to read and/or modify your lists
This service is in beta testing.
It's not yet perfect, but we're finding it pretty useful here, so we wanted to get it to you for feedback today.
NOTE: This is currently free for all users, but we do not guarantee it will be free forever. We reserve the right to bundle this in with a low-cost subscription offering we are planning for the future that'll provide a number of "extra" services such as this one. (Of we’ll ask for “opt-in” to this… so test away!)
Here are a couple screenshots:
It's available at www.bigoven.com/grocery and by clicking on a link (coming soon) on your profile box while logged in.
Please test it out and let us know what you think!
Thanks, and happy cooking.
