How Do I Use Grocery iQ® Online?

• How do I use Grocery iQ® Online?

  The most effective way to utilize Grocery iQ® is to add items that you purchase frequently to your Favorites. You can then quickly add items from your Favorites to your lists. From the Grocery List tab in the web version, just click the arrow next to an item in your Favorites and the item will be added to your list.

  Add one-time purchase items that aren't in your Favorites directly to your lists from the Grocery List tab.

  Check items off your list by clicking the checkboxes. Clicking "Checkout" will move the checked-off items to your History and clear them from your list! The items you have not checked off will remain on your list so that you will know what you still need to purchase.

  If you use Grocery iQ® on multiple devices (i.e. iPhone/iPod Touch app, iPad app, Android app, and/or web list) with the same user account, any changes you make to your lists on one device will be applied to your account and reflected when you log in on another device.

Creating Grocery Lists

• Where can I find the list of groceries to choose from?

  Go to the Grocery List tab and choose a store for which you want to add new items. Begin typing the name of an item to start browsing the available selection.

• How do I use the multiple stores feature?

  You can create different grocery lists for different stores. To create a new store, go to the Stores tab, enter the store name, and click “Add Store.”

  To add an item for a specific store, go to that store's list in the Grocery List tab. Then, add the item from the Favorites list or via the search functionality.

  If you've already added an item to an individual store list or to the "Any Store" list, you can move it to a different list. Click the Edit button at the right of the item to bring up the "Edit Item" screen. From the "Store" drop-down menu, select the store to whose list you want to move the item.

• How do I view a different store list?

  To view a different store list from the Grocery List tab, click the store name displayed under “Stores” in the upper left-hand corner of the page.

• Can I assign an item to multiple stores?

  No, but you can add an item to your "Any Stores" list.

• What does the "Store Items Only" setting do?

  Let's say this setting is turned on for one of the stores you've created, "Drug Store." When viewing the "Drug Store" list, only items that have been specifically assigned to this store will be displayed. If the setting is turned off, you will see both items that have been specifically assigned to this store AND items assigned to "Any Store."

• How do I change the order of the aisles?

  To change the aisle layout for a store, go to the Stores tab and select the store name. Drag and drop the aisles into the order you prefer. Then, click "Save New Order."

Sharing your List

• I emailed my list to my husband. How does he import it into his Grocery iQ®?

  Emailed lists cannot be imported into Grocery iQ®. In order to share your list so that someone else can update it, you must share the same user account.

• How do I sync my lists with another device?

  Any changes you make to your lists on one device will be applied at the account level, such that if you log into the same account on another device, you will see the changes reflected there automatically.
