My husband and I use Ziplist. What's nice is, when you see a recipe on a site, you can click a Ziplist button you add to your bookmarks (like with pinterest) and it pulls the recipe it its site for you, breaking down the ingredients and adding them to your shopping list. There is also an app for that so you can see it, as well as anyone else with your login/password.

We use OurGroceries. It's free (there are ads) and it works on both iPhones and Androids. It also lets you make "recipes" so that you can add groups of things at once. We've been using it pretty consistently for nearly two years now.

OurGroceries is great. It has a web feature too (great for those who cannot bring phones into the office but have internet access and want to add something)
I use it as a "to do" list as well since you can make multiple lists on top of the standard "groceries" one.

OurGroceries is great. I got sick of my husband saying "we're out of ..." and expecting me to remember, so he now just adds it to the list.

My husband and I use Grocery IQ---we like that it syncs to our phones in realtime and that it scans barcodes...there've been many a store trip when the person at home has scanned in an item and we've made it.

I LOVE Grocery IQ!

We use Our Groceries. once you both install it, you'll need to invite/share or whatever with each other.You can also set up different stores if you prefer picking up certain items at certain stores. The only issue we've had with the app is sometimes prematurely deleting the item from the list.

out of milk is awesome and has a web interface if you need to update it while sitting at your desk.

Not exactly an app, but we use a spreadsheet in Google Drive. It's a combined meal planner and grocery list. My fiance is a bit more laid back about it, so it usually goes that I'll plan out our meals, he'll take a look and change anything he doesn't feel like doing that week (he does 90% of the cooking).

Then there's a grocery list attached to the same spreadsheet that I'll add any ingredients we don't already have in the pantry to, and he'll add any that I've forgotten, as well as any other groceries we're getting low on.

Since I can edit the spreadsheet on my phone, I'm also able to use it as a running total. I can add in the price of the item I've just put in my cart (rounded up to the nearest half-dollar) so I know how close to my budget I am that week. And if I'm at the store, he can access the file on our home computer, and I'll refresh it before I hit the checkout to make sure I've gotten everything.

This is such a coincidence, as I was going to compile a permanent grocery list of the things I buy most, first to get my pantry properly stocked (finally), and two, so I can use it on my phone, or a tablet, or the computer as need be so when I go through the pantry, fridge etc, I can check off what is needed, and at the store, simply remove the check as I place it in the cart.

This way, I can have a list that doesn't change much of the time, and yet, I can add/delete as time goes on for longer term items (as I fine tune etc), or for short term lists for things I don't buy all the time.

This will be mostly for groceries and general household items, such as toilet paper as these are the items that'd be used most often.

I may have to check these out and see if they do what I want them to do.

A shared Evernote notebook is especially good if you're both already Evernote users.

I totally agree with the positive reviews for OurGroceries. It's simple and the ads are as unobtrusive as I could hope for with a free app. We have different lists for different grocery stores and it saves us a lot of time and hassle.

For iOS definitely Paprika. Besides being a great recipe organizer when you log in from Paprika to the same account it will sync your recipes AND grocery lists across iPhones, iPads and computer (separate purchase per iOS ID and mac tho).

Evernote works great!

Out of Milk is great (actually, the team that develops it sits across from me... no joke.) I'd also recommend the app I work on - Avocado (avocado.io). It's perfect for coordinating groceries with your boo and syncs automatically. My bf and I use it all the time.

I use springpad (free, web-based and it syncs with the free app on my iphone/kindle) for my recipes. I share this notebook with my husband and am able to create shopping lists from the ingredients section of each recipe, and I can also share the list with my husband.

actually i use springpad to create all kinds of lists... grocery store list, target shopping list, to-do list, etc...

Grocery IQ is a great app. My husband and I both have it on our phones and it syncs up in real time. It's on the iPad too, so I can add to it that way if I'm looking at recipes.

Catch.com is a great way to share check lists! Free and pretty colors.

We use Anylist. Love it.

Love Grocery IQ. I like that I can add an item to the list while he's shopping and it automatically pops up on his. The barcode scanner function is nice, as well.

We use Buy Me A Pie - it's simple and easy to use, plus it alerts you when your pie (list) has changed. We can divy up the shopping trip and see instantly what the other has picked up.

My husband and I use Wunderlist for our personal and business to do items, I just simply added a Grocery list (and shared with him). It keeps us updated and syncs to our phones and computers.

I've been using OurGroceries for the last year. I love that it remembers items, so I often only have to tap the first letter to bring up a short list that I can choose from. And after assigning all these items to categories once, my list is always nicely organized by store section.

Meant to add, OurGroceries syncs quickly enough that we can use it while tandem shopping. He starts one one side of the store, I start on the other, and we can drop that list to zero in no time.

Our family uses OneNote for everything. We copy the recipes to their own pages (where it keeps track of the original source) and keep a grocery list for items we don't have on hand. We use OneNote for all our project management: from grocery shopping to moving homes. It is synced to all our computers and phones for convenient access.

Mighty Grocery is one of my favorite apps. Has both mobile & desktop versions, syncs between multiple users, can customize aisles for every store, unlimited multiple lists/stores...not just grocery), tracks price history, coupon area, once you set the default tax just tick the tax box for items that charge tax, subtotals, totals, can have. Can import export lists in csv format (great to export items from your recipe organizer/meal planners) & lots of other stuff. I'm currently using a work around for tracking my pantry, but just spoke with the developer & they will be adding a pantry very soon. Oh, also keeps recipes & automatically adds items you need. You can use this as a basic list or utilize some/all of it's many advanced features & it's all done so easily. Developers respond very quickly to suggestions or inquiries. Mighty Groceries is everything you need & more!

We used to use Buy Me a Pie, but we switched to AnyList. I love that app. It syncs seamlessly between our two phones and you can have multiple lists. I have one for the groceries, one for the windmill where we buy our flour, one for the Asian market, etc.

I've started using Paprika for recipes and I know it has a grocery list function, but we haven't investigated that yet. AnyList works just fine.

How about sticking to the tried and true analog version? Currently I'm building an ethnic/staple pantry list that will be for sale within the next 2 weeks: http://www.etsy.com/theethnicpantry. Email me at theethnicpantry@gmail.com if you'd like to be on the mailing list :)

We LOVE Grocery IQ.

It syncs the lists seamlessly (it is also so fast that if you let it, you can go grocery shopping together and it will quickly sync what the two of you are getting as you get it).
It sorts groceries by aisle.
And it's simple to use.

The one downside is that a lot of items exist in the database with brand names attached, so if you're buying something that's not basic like milk, fruit, or eggs, it might attach a brand name when you add it. It's really no big deal (we just ignore the suggested brand), but I find it kind of silly.

I forgot to mention! You can also use it online, so if you are at work and forget something but don't want to take out your phone, that's not a problem!
And by the comment about syncing--I mean that you can divide and conquer and it will sync in real-time. Really handy if you are in a rush and shopping together.

Evernote is great. We have lists for groceries, target, home repair estimates... it is great to have all of it one place

My BF and I use Astrid. It's free and available for both iOS and Android. Some of my favorite features of Astrid are being able to assign tasks to specific users, make lists private or public/shared, reminders (in a smart way!), integration with Google, just to name a few.

I second Google Drive. We use a doc in there to plan our meals and shopping list. It's made meal planning a breeze and we no longer buy duplicates at the grocery store when we go separately.

My husband and I have been using Shopping List for a couple years.

I have tried several, but I always come back to this one. It is, by far, the best I have used. Once you have it set up on your device, you can automatically sync your lists. You can store the prices of each item and calculate tax. It's very easy to use, and has never failed us.

We use Out Of Milk

We use Astrid. I like that I can see if/when we've each completed the task, and that there's also web-based access. I also like that you can set priorities, and reminders! (it also reminds me when to phone someone back)

I like Grocery IQ for the reasons others mentioned. I haven't actually tried syncing it with my partner, but it's really useful for organizing my grocery list. You can make lists by store and it organizes everything by aisle.

The new grocery list maker MyGroceryAisles is pretty useful. Unlike all other web-based grocery list makers, MyGroceryAisles lets you peep through the aisles or search their entire database for grocery items. http://www.mygroceryaisles.com

I'm a spring pad user

I've put up a simple online application that I originally built for my personal use but thought that others might find it useful too. It's in a very early version currently but feel free to use it! http://pocketlist.mobi/

Sorry for the self promotion but I made an app which I think might be worth checking out.

It's called Fridge Pal. It's a syncing shopping list app that has a few unique features.

You can create multiple shopping lists, sync in real time and shopping lists can even get a location associated with them. When you go past a store that has items in your shopping list it will remind you. Likewise when you leave a store if you haven't checked off every item the app will ask if you remembered to get everything. I have had a few times when I left a store and forgot to pick up something important and figured an app reminding you could be helpful. This is all customizable and you can turn this off if you want.

In addition it's a pantry management app - when you get home you can scan barcodes to record what you bought and record expiry dates. The app will notify you when an item is going to go bad or let you see when you put it in the fridge/freezer/pantry. In addition to being helpful in making sure you use items before they go bad it can be useful to be at the store and look up whether you have ketchup or how old it is. The app syncs with dropbox so you can export all your data and put them into whatever other software/spreadshseets/systems you use to track your own inventory.

As a final feature you can look up recipes using what you have at home. You can tap whatever you've listed and look up recipes that use all of those ingredients. It's great for finding recipes that use a few items you need to get rid of or just to look up new recipes you might want to try. You can save recipes to the app and slowly build your own personal cookbook.

The app is free to try and has a paid upgrade of $2.99. The free version will let you create 2 shopping lists and 1 storage area which should hopefully be enough to test all of the features out or even just be good for normal use. If you guys like it I greatly appreciate anyone who upgrades as I'm working on this in my spare time.

The website is www.fridgepalapp.com and you can see a short video of the app in action. Link to iTunes is on the website.

Again, sorry for the self promotion but I personally am not very happy with most shopping list apps and hopefully someone else thinks an app like this would be useful.
