I have found that many of the electronic recipe organizer programs have multiple related functions, including organizing recipes, making your list, and helping with meal planning.

The ZipList app is available for both Apple and Android products, and is free. Taylor says:Thanks Mary Jane for sharing how you use this app to make a grocery list and keep track of your recipes. I also manage my grocery store perks card on-line and add store specific and product specific coupons that are tracked through my perks card (Kroger is really easy). There is also a note section for each item on your list to make note of any sales at specific stores (ex: b1g1 at Kroger). I usually print out the list (I love to check mark as I go), but using the phone app works too, and match up coupons I have clipped before I head out. The items are listed as they are grouped in the grocery store (ex: produce, meats, frozen, etc). Each week I select my meals from my recipe box which allow you to "add to a shopping list" - giving you the opportunity to verify your on-hand inventory and add only the items you need.


I like it because I store all of my recipes there in a recipe box. I can also email the list to my husband in a pinch. You can create multiple lists (I tend to run one a week) and add or subtract as I go. Mary Jane says:I do everything electronically.I use ZipList on my desktop and laptop and have an app on my ipad and phone so I always have access. You're in the market for a new one, so scroll down to see my other reviews on this site), but just know that those apps and programs could close at any time as well, and have a back up plan in place to keep your precious recipes in the family! I still recommend several (and if you used Ziplist obviously This isn't to say not to use an app for recipes and grocery shopping lists. So, be careful with how you collect them. Recipes can often mean a lot to us, sentimentally, because many become family favorites, while others are actually passed down from generation to generation. And I'm trying to give you a heads up because I don't want people to be surprised if all their recipes just disappeared on December 10th. You can do it, but be prepared to deal with transferring to a new service if something happens. But I think the closure of this app gives us a lesson about keeping our recipes or shopping lists only online, or in the cloud.

What Does Ziplist's Closure Teach Us?I like technology as much as the next gal, and paid apps could go away just as easily as this free one did. You can read the entire blog announcement from Ziplist here. Again though, you'll need to do it within the next month and the process is much more involved. So, if you'd like to export them so you can manually add them to another app you can do that. There is no way to move your shopping lists to another service though.

You will need to do this before the month is over! In regard to your recipes, Ziplist has partnered with Epicurious so that you can transfer your recipes from the Ziplist recipe box to the one for Epicurious. What does this mean for you?If you've been using the Ziplist app to keep your recipes or your grocery lists, you will need to take action within the next month to save these items. (This is being written on November 10th, the day of the announcement.) Taylor says:I've added my own comments above Mary Jane's review of this app, since this free app has just announced it will not be available, as of December 10, 2014. IT WILL STOP FUNCTIONING ON DECEMBER 10, 2014. ***UPDATE: THIS APP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
