You've Gotta Try This: Zip List

Oh how I love technology! I really do enjoy cooking, but the one part I HATE is deciding what to cook. I have some favorite food blogs, but sometimes that even gets boring. I don't know where I found out about ZipList, but I do know that I love it!!

Just go to ZipList.com & sign up! Here's a short little list of some of the best features:

  • Add your own recipes or ones that you find online so you have them all the time
  • Find & send you neat & popular/new recipes right to your email
  • Create a shopping list for you AND {get this!} organize it by aisle and send it to your cell...amazing
  • Master List suggestions for popular gatherings - Bday parties, Cocktails parties, BBQ's, etc.
  • Find coupons for you for the things you buy most
  • Diet-specific checklists for whatever you need! {Diabetics, runners, etc}
So for example, if you were going to make this delicious recipe tonight, you could add it to your recipe box, click on "create shopping list" and it pulls all the ingredients for you. You can uncheck any ingredients you don't have already at your house, then it puts it into your shopping list. Take your phone to the store w/ you, and viola! You didn't forget anything at the store!

I just love it. And the BEST part - - it's FREE!! How is it free?? Here's what the ZipList website says:

"We let you manage your recipe box and shopping list for free. Based on items on your shopping list and where you live we are able to show you coupons or from retail grocery stores and manufacturers that save you money. We charge those companies to advertise their offers to you."

 I'll take it! Happy Shopping!
