Missing Groceries

You've planned some meals, but the groceries aren't showing up?

There are a few reasons groceries that are required for meals you've planned may not be showing on the grocery list.

If you've crossed something off, it is removed from the list, and won't show again until you either add it manually or plan a meal that needs it.  To add these items again, you can Clear the Grocery List to reset your grocery list to showing all the groceries that are needed for all the meals in your meal plan.  Tap the Settings button (the gear icon) at the top left corner of the grocery list, then tap Clear the Grocery List.

Another thing to check is the Grocery Stores list. MealPlan lets you set up different grocery stores.  Each store has its own ordering for aisles, aisles can be turned off. If your groceries are in an aisle that's not turned on for your current store, they won't show on the grocery list.

To check this:

1. Tap the Settings icon at the top left corner of the grocery list.
2. Tap "Edit Grocery Store List"
3. Pick your current store.
4. Make sure all the aisles you expect are enabled.

When groceries are on your grocery list for a meal you've planned, but you don't buy them before the date the meal was planned, the groceries will be removed from the grocery list.  For example, if you planned ham sandwiches for Tuesday, and you didn't buy ham, on Wednesday, ham will no longer be on your grocery list. This is because you don't need ham anymore according to your meal plan.
