How to copy and reuse a shopping list

You can reuse a list in three ways: uncheck the bought items and take the same list shopping again, copy the whole list, or copy only selected items. When you copy, the original stays unchanged.

Use the same list again

This is the simplest option when you buy similar things every week. One option moves all bought items back to the items to buy. If the list is shared, everyone else will see this change too.

Copy only selected items

If you regularly buy similar things but only need some of them each time, create a list of your regular purchases, for example “Always at home”. Before you shop, select only the items you need right now and copy them to a new list. Your regular list stays unchanged for next time.
