Your list is empty. Add an item on the left and Mittsy will wake up and price it.

Take this list into the store

In Mittsy the list writes itself from the week's dinners, subtracts your pantry, splits across two stores and checks off one-handed in shopping mode.

A grocery list generator that adds itself up

A list on paper tells you what to buy. This one also tells you roughly what it will cost before you leave, because every item you add is matched to a price table and grouped into the aisle where you’ll find it. Change the store type and the total moves with it.

In the Mittsy app the list writes itself from the week’s dinners, subtracts what is already in your pantry, splits across up to two stores, and checks off one-handed in shopping mode.

Questions people ask

Is this grocery list maker free?

Yes, and it needs no account. Add items, the list sorts itself by aisle and shows an estimated price per line, then copy it, print it or save it as a PDF from the print dialog.

Can I add things that are not in the suggestions?

Type anything and press Enter. Items we don’t have a price for show without a price and sit under “Other”.

Where do the prices come from?

From the ingredient price table the Mittsy app uses — typical U.S. supermarket prices scaled for discount, standard or premium stores. They are estimates marked with a “~”.

Does it save my list?

Your list is kept in this browser (nothing is sent anywhere), so it is still here when you come back on the same device. For a list that follows you into the store, checks off with one hand and subtracts your pantry, use the Mittsy app.

Can it make a grocery list for me?

This page builds and prices the list from the items you type. To have the list made for you, start from the meals: the free meal plan generator picks a week of dinners and writes the priced grocery list from them, and the Mittsy app does the same every week with your pantry already subtracted.

What are the standard grocery list categories?

Produce; meat and seafood; dairy and eggs; bakery; dry goods and pasta; canned and jarred; spices and baking; frozen; drinks; household and other. The generator files every item into one of those aisle categories automatically, in the order most U.S. supermarkets are laid out, so the list reads top to bottom as you walk the store.

Is this an AI grocery list generator?

The sorting and pricing on this page are rule-based, not AI: a fixed aisle map and a price table, which keeps the result predictable. The AI part lives in the Mittsy app, where the Pro planner writes the week of dinners and the personalized list from your budget, household and pantry.

What is the best way to organize a grocery list?

By aisle in the order you walk the store: produce, meat and fish, dairy, bakery, dry goods, canned, spices, frozen. That is how this list is grouped, and it is the single biggest time-saver in the store.
