Introduction

How many times have you gone to the grocery store to pick up some items only to come home and discover you have forgotten a few key products? That's why grocery list apps like Grocery Pal can come in really handy. This app can be used on your iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad to keep you organized as well as give you information regarding store ads, coupons, and promotions.

Multi-Tasking Grocery Tool

While there are plenty of apps that give you the ability to create a grocery list this one goes further and actually gives you useful pricing information so you can save yourself money. You can actually check out the weekly promotions and deals happening at some of the largest chain stores and local supermarkets and directly add those items to your shopping list. The app supports such stores as Walmart, Family Dollar, Kmart, Target, Walgreens, Dollar General, and RiteAid. You don’t have to worry about finding all the weekly flyers sent in the mail; instead, you’ll have everything in one simple and convenient place. This app also gives you the ability to print coupons from it, another money saving tool.

The most recent update of this app featured crash fixes that have been occurring when using iOS 7. Despite the fact it's packed with information and tools it only scores a 3.5 out of five stars in the customer rating department. The complaint that seems to run among users is that the app needs to support more stores in order to be truly useful.

 

Create a Grocery List

While having access to the weekly flyers and deals is a wonderful tool there is also the fact you can create your grocery list with the app. You can even organize the list so it is laid out into categories and aisles. This can make your shopping visit that much quicker and smoother. There are built-in lists that make the process faster if you want and you have the ability to create as many lists as you want. Lists can be shared by SMS and email and can be synced to all your iDevices.

All in all I think this is a clean, simple, and useful tool. As users said it would be nice to see additional stores offered so you feel as though you're getting a complete picture of the current deals and promotions.
