Grocerysurf 101 - Mobile recipe box

Do you have a cellphone? Does it have Internet access? If it does, welcome to join the club! From the past, We had introduced GrocerySurf mobile shopping list (read it). Mobile recipe box is an add-on feature for your mobile list. That means, not only the shopping list follows wherever you go, so does your recipe box!


The main idea here is to encourage people to cook more at home and enjoy healthy and balanced diet. Using the mobile recipe box ensures our users that one grocery trip does all. Best of all, if you spot a great buy at the store (ex. $0.99/lb Pork Baby Ribs), you can double check your recipe for associated ingredients.


The basic functions:

1. Search recipes by ingredient(s) or title(s).

2. The result is shown by relevance.

3. Click any single ingredient and add it into current shopping list.

4. Aisle is assigned automatically.

Bogof ? 10/10? - Code list for store ads

Do you read store ads for weekly sale or seasonal specials?
If you do, you can make a code list based on the store ads. It can be input in the "Note" section in the GrocerySurf shopping list program.

Using code list saves you time when writing the shopping list. And it is especially helpful for the GrocerySurf mobile shopping list users since the screen is small.
Here is an example of code list:

bogof, buy one get one free
10/10, mix and match 10 items for $10
c+, with coupon
ST, store brand
sub/no, specific brand as mentioned (that is, no substitute)
sub/yes, can be any brand if out of stock
BB, the bigger the better!
r_label, read the label / check the expiration date

Well~ you got the idea! Create you own and keep it handy. Be sure to share the code list with your family members if you take turn to go shopping.
