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.
