Hey Everyone!

I'm new to this forum and I've got 2 very active kids that are starting to get into swimming and soccer. This makes for a very hungry household and I was wondering if you ladies had any suggestions on iPhone apps that could help me keep my food costs down, but still maintain a nutritious diet. I've tried Fooducate and Grocery IQ, but I didn't like that I had to scan EVERY SINGLE BARCODE to add it to my shopping list. Is there anything that you guys use?

Thanks!

Hmm. I don't use one but I remembr someone recently posting about something they used and really liking it for grocery shopping lists... so I will see if I can r emember or find out and come back!

also! Welcome to JM! I hope you stick around! How old are your kiddos?

[Swim_Mom76]

Thanks for the welcome! I've got two boys, 10 and 8. I know there are a bunch of apps out there, but I want to know if there are any that are "Mother Tested."

Thanks!

I like using Remember the Milk to keep track of my to-dos, like shopping lists. One way to save money is to not buy anything you don't need!

[Swim_Mom76]

Cool thanks! I'll check out Remember the Milk. But does it suggest recipes as well? For example if I have some left over tomato sauce, and the kids don't want to eat spaghetti again, can it suggest other tomato sauce based recipes to choose from?

[pfarmer]

No ... it's just a to-do list.

Wow. I'm so sorry I missed this! Welcome!

I don't use an app. But for recipes based on specific ingredients, check out supercook.com I love that site when I'm at a loss.

I really like the allrecipes dinner spinner. The paid version lets you search by ingredient, make lists, and even have access to your recipe box on the website. I only have the free version, but I love it. However, the paid version is more what you want I think. It's $2.99
