Setup on both phones

  • Make one list.
  • Share it to the other parent.
  • Sort by aisle.

What to put in it

  • One cart. Either of you adds to it, and the other sees the add on their phone.
  • Aisle order. Without it, the store is a scavenger hunt.
  • A photo of the brand when the other person is the one in the aisle.

Checked against Cozi

Cozi’s list is enough when the week and the cart are one app.

The downside

Recipes and the meal planner sit on the paid plan.
