A story · the shopping list

Shopping list that goes where you go

Add it at home. Take it with you.

A seven-panel comic. A mom adds milk to the shopping list on the family screen at home with her son. At the store she realises the list is still on the fridge. Then the same list is on her phone, with milk ticked. She finds a pasta recipe online, copies the link, pastes it in and ticks the ingredients onto the list. Back at the store she has everything, and at home they unpack the groceries together.

Before

The list was written. It just stayed on the fridge.

1“We need milk. I'll add it to the shopping list!”
At home, on the family screen, with a small helper beside her. Milk, eggs, bananas — added the moment they come up, which is exactly how a list should work.
2“Oh no! I forgot the list!”
At the store, trolley in hand. The list is fine. It's on the fridge at home. It happens to everyone.

After

Same list. Everywhere you go.

1“It's right here on my phone!”
The same list — milk already ticked, eggs, bananas, chicken, pasta, tomatoes still to get. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember to bring.
2A recipe found online.
Easy pasta dinner. “Let's add the ingredients.” Copy the link, the way you would to send it to anyone.
3Ingredients become a list.
Paste the link, tick what you need — pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, parmesan — and add them to the shopping list in one go.
4“We got everything on the list!”
Back at the store, with the list in hand and a banana in his. No more forgetting, more time for what matters.
5A little less to remember. A lot more time together.
Unpacking the bags together. “Good food. Happy day!” Plan meals. Shop easily. More family time.

Same list. Less stress.

The shopping list in Here When You Are is one list for the whole family — added to on the kitchen screen, carried on a phone. Paste a recipe link and tick the ingredients you need; pick a later shopping day and they wait until then. A few recipe sites won't let the board read them; then the link is kept and you type the recipe in once.
