How to make a shopping list with AI

Before you make a shopping list
Why did I end up with too much rice?
A recipe amount and a store pack size differ; subtract what is in the cupboard and check package weights.
Should I allow automatic substitutions?
Set preferences carefully and review replacements, especially where allergens or dietary needs matter.
Can the tool see what is in my fridge?
Only if you provide accurate information; count key ingredients yourself before ordering.
