Once you have meals in a plan, you do not have to read through every recipe and write down what you need. Tradish can build the whole grocery list for you from the recipes you planned.

How to build the list

1. Open the Plans view in the Plan tab and open the plan you want to shop for.
2. Tap Build Grocery List.
3. Choose which meals to include. You might want the whole week, or just the dinners you are actually shopping for right now.
4. Confirm, and Tradish adds everything to your Groceries list.

What Tradish does with the ingredients

Tradish reads the ingredients across every recipe you picked and pulls them together into one list. Along the way it:

• Sums quantities, so two recipes that each call for a cup of flour land as one line, not two.
• Removes duplicates, so the same ingredient from several recipes shows up once instead of scattered down the list.

The result is a single, consolidated set of items added to your Groceries list, ready to shop, rather than a pile of separate recipe lists you have to reconcile in your head.

After the list is built

Everything you build lands in the Groceries tab, where you can check items off, group them by aisle, filter by store, and see which recipes an ingredient came from. For all of that, see Managing your grocery list.

You can build from more than one plan, too. If you run several plans at once, build a list from each and the items merge into the same Groceries list, with quantities summed as they go.
