Shopping Lists

Updated
 
The Shopping List helps you keep track of groceries and avoid missing important ingredients. You can add items manually or let Nori update your list based on your meal plan and recipes.
 

Add Items to Shopping List

You can add items in several ways:
  1. Under the Shopping List tab, tap Add an item and enter the item name.
  2. When viewing a recipe and adding it to your Meal Plan, Nori may ask if you want to update your Shopping List.

  1. Under Meal Plan, when you add a recipe to any meal, you may receive the same prompt asking whether to update your Shopping List.

Smart updates align your Shopping List with the ingredients of the selected recipe. You can select or unselect ingredients during smart update, but you cannot adjust the ingredient quantity in that step.

 

Edit Categories

Nori includes default categories for common groceries.
For example, adding "egg" places it under Dairy & Eggs automatically.
To organize categories:
  1. Tap the gear icon to view all categories.
  2. Press and hold a category, or use the drag handle to reorder.
  3. Scroll down and tap Create new to add a custom category.

 

Edit an Item

Tap any item to edit its details. You can modify:
  • Quantity
  • Unit
  • Category
  • Attachments
  • Description
  • Delete the item
For uncategorized items or items added under custom categories, you can edit their category here as well.

 

Complete a Shopping Item

Tap the check circle next to an item to mark it as purchased.
Completed items move to the Purchased section.
Tap the circle again to restore the item to the active list.
 

Use AI Chat with Shopping List

You can manage your shopping list through Nori AI Chat for hands-free convenience. Here are two common examples:

Add Items Directly
Simply tell Nori AI what you want to buy.
For example:
"Add milk, bananas, and pasta to my shopping list."
Nori will create the items immediately, and you can edit them later if needed.

 

Combine Shopping List with Recipes and Meal Plan

You can ask AI to prepare everything at once: create a recipe, adjust servings, update your shopping list, and add the meal to your plan.
For example: "I want to make the chicken pasta recipe for 4 people. Update my shopping list with the ingredients and add it to tonight's dinner meal plan."
Nori AI will calculate the servings, update your shopping list with the correct ingredients, and insert the meal into your plan.
