Maintaining the Shopping List Favorites List

Every shopping list displays a master Favorites list, in the bottom section of the shopping list editor window. The favorites list is a place to keep often used items, such as pantry staples, so that they can be quickly added to any shopping list. To add one or more favorite items to a shopping list, just drag and drop the rows from the favorites list to the shopping list. The favorites list can also be used to store pantry quantities, if desired as well.

Items in the favorites list are also used to set the aisles, stores and categories for items whenever a new shopping list is created. For instance, if the favorites list has a row for "all-purpose flour" and a shopping list gets created that uses this ingredient, the values for the "all-purpose flour" favorite item are used to fill in the data for this item in the new shopping list.

Alternatively, if there are no favorites found, existing shopping lists are searched for this information and the items in a new shopping list are filled in using the values from existing shopping lists, so it’s also possible to keep a “master” shopping list that is used to fill in information automatically.
