If you are someone like me, and do not have the time each week to figure out what will be on your shopping list, then Grocery IQ is perfect for you. This app is available for both IPhone and Android phones.

This app allows you to create shopping lists based on the items you typically purchase in the store. This can be done in a number of ways: scanning your favorite items, typing in the bar code, or by simply using the microphone feature to say the item you are looking for. The app then searches for that specific item, and adds it to your list. After you have entered in all the items you typically purchase, you can go through and check only the items you need to purchase for each visit. You can also create lists based on the particular grocery stores you visit. Then you can email them to yourself to create a shopping list. Another great feature is the ability to share your list with others…say your husband. (All it took was a cool app like this to convince my husband to go to the grocery store).

Although there are more pros to this app, there are also some cons. Scanning items into your list can be extremely frustrating when it does not recognize an item.  Also, the coupon feature that allows you to search through coupons and send them via email, seemed to email okay, but when I attempted to print off the coupons, nothing.

All in all, I believe that this app will be useful to most, especially those who find themselves spending more money at the grocery store, because they did not take the time to make a list.
