Allows custom categorization (so you could make a list for each location, and then within list, break up into meat, poultry, etc) and shared/joint access. Love this for recipe tracking and meal planning too, but my main use of this app is to keep every imaginable list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922898 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 17:53:58 +0000 jennlin821 2922898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you already have a solution, but we use the Cozi app for our shared family calendar and grocery lists; we also use the list section to keep track of what is in our deep freezer. It doesn't do everything you want (like numbers), but its simple enough to check off when you take something out of the freezer. Plus its easily accessible when making the shopping list, or out grabbing something quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922897 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 17:38:42 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2922897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were just talking about needing a new system for our deep freezer. We do the same thing when buying meat and are not great at updating our shared Notes app list when we pull something out. I will check out OurGroceries too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922896 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 16:30:07 +0000 Mommy Finger 2922896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: @JennyPenny: Thanks! I'm going to look into this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922895 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 14:13:50 +0000 JennyPenny 2922895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use OurGroceries for groceries, but I think @mrswin is right and it could work really well for your purpose. I would never have thought of that on my own! And it does work with Alexa. You just have to remember to "ask our groceries" to add it, otherwise you get stuff on your amazon list :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922894 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 14:03:40 +0000 mrswin 2922894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: We use an app called Our Groceries - it is meant to be a grocery list app but it does all the things you are looking for. It is free and the upgrade to the ad free version was only $5 or something<br /> ETA: I’m not sure if it is compatible with Alexa... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggestion-of-an-app-to-use-to-keep-track-of-freezer-and-pantry-contents#post-2922893 Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:40:34 +0000 Mommy Finger 2922893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a self proclaimed food hoarder. I can't pass up a good deal and love my Costco card. I technically have 3 freezers (the one in my kitchen, a deep freezer and a small one attached to my overflow 2nd fridge. For my freezers, I usually buy meat in bulk at a great deal and then use a vacuum sealer to freeze it in small portions and I also am huge on batch cooking to make weeknight dinners easier. </p> <p>What I don't have is a great system to keep track of everything in my freezers (and my overflow pantry in the basement) and this sometimes leads me to buy things we already have a ton of or losing things in the freezer until they are too freezer burned to use. I absolutely HATE food waste. I tried keeping track of things in Excel or even directly on the deep freezer with a dry erase marker but DH would never add or delete things so the system fell apart.</p> <p>Does anyone know of an app that would help keep track of everything with the following features?</p> <p>-sharable so that DH and I both have it on our phones<br /> -can break the list into separate groups so I could keep track of what's in the deep freezer, upstairs freezer, downstairs pantry, etc. and have separate lists for each<br /> -be able to track the quantity of a single item and be able to increase or decrease it as necessary. Like if I have 5 packages of prepared taco meat, it would show a quantity of 5 and not that I would have to list taco meat 5 separate times<br /> -a super awesome bonus would be if it connected to Alexa and I could just yell at her to add or delete something off the list.</p> <p>I should note that we're an android family. I don't need this to suggest recipes or create shopping lists. I just need to keep track of what I have on hand. </p>
