This is the list as Shop shows it, with the amount written before the name. The app puts the name on top and the amount underneath. Items a new install already has in Kitchen as Have it, and items the app treats as staples, show inside their aisle with an Add button and stay off the list you share or send to a cart. Tap Add on a row and it joins the list.

A combined row also shows the two recipe names after the amount, or a count such as 3 recipes when more than two share it.

On this list, ground beef from Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Sloppy Joes is 2 lb, and yellow onion from those two recipes is 2. Garlic is 7 cloves, 3 from Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and 4 from Shrimp Scampi Pasta. Butter is 6 tbsp (2 tbsp in Tuna Melts and 4 tbsp in Shrimp Scampi Pasta). Olive oil is 6 tbsp, 2 tbsp in each of Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Baked Chicken Drumsticks and Shrimp Scampi Pasta.

Tuna Melts lists lemon juice as 1 tbsp and Shrimp Scampi Pasta lists it as 1/4 cup. The combined line rounds the amount to 1/3 cup. Salt is 1 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp and 3/4 tsp across Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Sloppy Joes, Baked Chicken Drumsticks and Shrimp Scampi Pasta, 3 1/4 tsp in all, and the line rounds the amount to 1 1/8 tbsp. Black pepper is 1 1/2 tsp, from 1/2 tsp in Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, 1/4 tsp in Sloppy Joes, 1/4 tsp in Tuna Melts and 1/2 tsp in Baked Chicken Drumsticks.

Spaghetti and linguine stay on their own lines, each at 12 oz. The lemon in Baked Chicken Drumsticks stays at 1, separate from the lemon juice. Each grocery line on this plan shows one amount, with no quantities joined by a plus sign.

This list is these five dinners alone, at the servings above, on a new install. Shop these days also includes any other meal already on those days, and it keeps lines you typed onto Shop.
