What is Shopping Companion (formerly Grocery Companion)?

Shopping Companion

Shopping Companion is a super handy tool for anyone who hates forgetting stuff at the grocery store. Seriously, when you're shopping for more than just yourself, having a list is key! This software is designed to help you create thorough grocery lists and keep your spending in check.

Easy to Use Interface

Once you install Shopping Companion and open it up for the first time, you’ll see a clean main window. It has a simple menu bar and a toolbar that makes everything easy to find. You won’t have to dig around; all the important features are right there at your fingertips!

Create Multiple Lists

This app shines when it comes to organization. You can manage several shopping lists, which they call 'trips'. To get started, you'll need to build a product database. Don't worry; it's super straightforward!

Track Your Products

With Shopping Companion, you can add loads of details about your items like store name, aisle number, product type, brand, category, price per unit, discounts, and even how many coupons you have! It's like having your own personal shopping assistant.

Importing and Exporting Made Simple

You can easily import and export your shopping lists as text files or print them out if you prefer that old-school vibe. Plus, sorting your transactions is simple too! You can organize by Store, Aisle Number, Category—whatever helps you stay on top of things.

Customization Options

Now let's talk customization. While Shopping Companion doesn’t offer tons of options here (you can change fonts and colors), it does let you backup all your data into one ZIP file. Super handy if you want to keep everything safe!

A Few Drawbacks

While this app has some great features and a smooth workflow, it does feel a bit outdated. There’s no cloud syncing or mobile version available yet—things that would make life easier for shoppers today.
