Overview: My Hidden Shopping List

My Shopping List also incorporates a 'hidden shopping list' which is designed to save you time and effort as well as not having to rely on your memory. It can be used in many ways some of which are detailed below.

Specials: you only wish to purchase the item on your shopping list when it is on special. Each time you go shopping you check the price of that item and if it is still listed at its regular price you simply select the 'Hide' menu. This moves the item off your shopping list into your 'hidden shopping list' for the number of days the item is set to hide for after which it will automatically reappear on your shopping list.

Out of Stock: as you do your shopping you discover that an item on your shopping list is unavailable (out of stock) requiring you to purchase the item the next time you shop. Selecting the 'Hide' menu will move the item off your shopping list and into your 'hidden shopping list' for the number of days it is set to hide for after which it will automatically reappear on your shopping list.

Recurring Items: you shop once a week but you only purchase a particular item e.g. toilet paper every two weeks. When you first add toilet paper to your shopping list change the 'Days to Hide' from 1 day to 13 days. After picking up the toilet paper and placing it in your shopping trolley all you need to do is select the 'Hide' menu. Selecting the 'Hide' menu will move the toilet paper off your shopping list and into your 'hidden shopping list' for 13 days. The toilet paper will not appear on your shopping list the following week when you go shopping but will appear on your shopping list in two weeks time.

Perpetual Shopping List: your shopping list has a number of items on it that you regularly purchase each time you go shopping. After picking up each of these items and placing them into your shopping trolley select the 'Hide' menu instead of the 'Delete' button. This will move the items off your shopping list and into your 'hidden shopping list' for the number of days they are set to hide for after which they will all automatically reappear on your shopping list. You will never have to add these items to your shopping list again unless you accidently delete any of them.
