Great ideas. I do like the idea of the wall niche. Thanks for posting the site. DH is going to love this. We just finished ripping down wallpaper and repainting the foyer. He'll be happy to know I now want him to cut a hole in the wall. I am having trouble posting pictures. Something is wrong with the port on my camera. When DH gets home I will see if he can get it to work.

Do you mean store specific? Or that has icons for all the items? If you just mean written lists, any app that allows you to have several lists open at once would work, even the built in Notes app (that's what I mostly use). In Notes, create a note for each store and select that note to add an item to the list. If you want something of the sort, but more powerful, look under Productivity and Organization. Maybe something like Listaway or Evernote. The basic Reminders app lets you share your lists through the cloud. If you want to share lists with a partner, AnyList is a good choice. I'm pretty sure it allows multiple lists, but I think you could also use customized subheaders for the different stores. I haven't looked at it recently. It has organization by department within a list, with autofile, and does some high level tricks like recipe import. "Groceries" app is a little clunkier, but for sure does multiple lists, and has autofile and autocomplete, but I don't know if those will work on the hardware, et al. Pushpins includes offers from major stores. I used to have a great app for this that was for entertaining, but I can't remember the name, and I don't have my phone to look it up. There are errands managers. Errands To-Do List would work, but I think it's clunky, and I'd rather just use Notes, but it's the best one I've seen in this category. Some of the above also let you scan bar codes, but I find spelling it out is easier. I got Amazon Echo when it was first out to see if my folks would like it. It's not all that useful, really, but what I like enough to keep using it is that it has a shopping list function. You can be up to your elbows cooking, and tell it to put something on the shopping list. The list can be accessed from your phone or tablet (Fire or Apple, I think). It's just one list, but like having a kid around to write it down. :) It will also read back the list. :)

I did look at PepperPlate, but it was too involved for me even to figure out where the basic stuff was. I do browser bookmarks for things I'm looking at but not seriously, and save as text or Word recipes I think I'll make even if far in the future. I finally got my old recipes transferred to the new computer. Many years ago, I typed up all the bits of scratch paper that family recipes had been jotted on, as well as yellowing clippings. What I really should do is make some booklets in Publisher and bind them for posterity, but there's also the web. My standard shopping is in my head, with an aid from Alexa. I don't have much use for it--I even forget to ask it when I want to know the time--but I love that I can tell it to put things on the shopping list without putting down what I'm working on and washing my hands, and then have it show up in my devices at the store. In this way, the MenuBoard shopping list is good, too. Very easy shopping from the app. You can also print or e-mail the shopping list (love that built-in honey-do). I'm never going to be a power user. I have my most used recipes on paper in page protectors in a little binder, and two large binders (one cooking, one baking) with repeaters. And too many books. :) But I'm very happy with how this is doing for projects after just the chili bar. The corn muffins was a short recipe, so I typed that in too because the book doesn't lay open. :) (The muffins were good, but not the muffin. I don't know if I'll ever find that.) I've also entered the recipes for the Princess Cake into it.

My seeds came too! Last night I opened them up, it was a nice end to working a double shift (16 hours ugh) on sunday and then working again yesterday all day!
