I actually do my grocery shopping/planning in a different fashion, which might be easier for the iPhone. I have a perpetual Grocery Shopping project (actually, a single action list), containing as repeating actions all the things I regularly buy, with the repeat interval adjusted to suit. When I plan to cook something that requires something out of the ordinary, I add an action to buy that ingredient, but don't set it to repeat. If I run out or am about to run out of something, I just adjust the start date on the repeating item. When something shows up on the started today list, I take a quick look at the amount I have on hand if I think I might be running errands so that I don't buy another carton of milk if we barely started the last one, for example. Typing this paragraph has taken longer than I usually spend per week maintaining this system.

Thank you for the tip!
