What else can you do with ManyStops?

  1. Decide

    Know what day you’ll need to shop, and what it will cost

    ManyStops learns how long each item lasts in your home. It names the day you’ll need to shop next. It lays out each way to shop your stores, with the drive and what each will cost.

    The Decide screen saying the trip can wait until Monday, above the options for today with the drive and what each will likely cost.
  2. Shop

    Scan as you shop

    Each store's list comes in aisle order. Tick each item as it goes in the cart, or scan its barcode. Photograph the receipt at the end, and ManyStops fills in the prices.

    The Shop screen at one store: the first item selected with boxes for its price, aisle and how many, each item with the price paid last time, and the Scan button over the cart total.
  3. Plan

    Meals for the week, from ingredients in your pantry

    Choose the days and how many people are eating. ManyStops looks at what is in your pantry and fills each day with meals you like. Anything you are short of goes straight to the shopping list.

    The Plan screen, a box for each day of the week with the meals chosen for it and a search to add more.
  4. Eat

    Cook tonight, or order from a restaurant?

    Search for a meal, or let ManyStops suggest one from what is in your pantry. It shows what the missing ingredients cost, and what a restaurant meal for everyone would cost.

    The Eat screen asking What do you want to eat, with a search box and Suggest from my pantry.
    The Eat screen asking how many people are eating.

Know what the trip will cost before you leave home

Every price is one you recorded, shown again the next time you stand in front of the item. Type it as you pick the item up, or photograph the receipt afterwards. It works at any store, including the independent ones no price app covers.

The list still to pick at one store, in the order that store is walked, each item with its aisle, its last price, and whether it is Low or Out at home.

At any store, your list is sorted in the best order

ManyStops learns each store's order from the order you pick things up, at any store, with nothing to set up. At a store other ManyStops shoppers know, your first list already comes in a sensible order.
