How Are You Using To Do for Shopping Lists?
Hello, I am using To Do a whole lot in the last month as a family shopping list. We used to use different tools - Wunderlist, Trello and Google Keep, but with the beginning of the Corona crisis,...

We too had to say good bye to wunderlist and move to ToDo. I realise this groceries isn’t everyone’s requirement but the features needed for groceries would really add value to the rest of ToDo.
I’d love to see an auto-complete filtering option where as you type a new task the app (I’m using iOS) shows a small list of any matching completed tasks that you could simply uncheck rather that adding a new task. This would avoid duplicates in the completed list and having to scroll through a huge list of completed grocery items. Basically I’m after the ability to quickly search a large completed tasks list.
Has anyone found this functionality?
I’m not fussed about images, but I’m sure this could be linked to a grocery icon library. Colour coding by a category (e.g. diary, fruit/veg would be useful)

I tried using ToDo a while back but it was too generic to be useful. Sorry can't assist with ToDo kung fu!
I did, however end up with an amazing app called OurGroceries that just works perfectly. It has a free version and does real, bullet-time sync so if wife's in the store and I add something to the list (or vice versa) it shows up. Multiple lists for different stores, list sharing (of course), robust options for sorting and how to "cross-off" items, notes and "star" feature for each item and you can even take a picture of your item and a little thumbnail will show that you can click on and get the big pic. Really well designed shopping app I gotta say. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a big fan of stuff that just works well (as a computer geek). Sorry MS ToDo, maybe someone will document how to configure you to do this as well? Would love to have one less app.
