Shopping app for not shopping!

Post date: 2020-09-19 08:54:26

I just cleared out the kitchen and discovered multiple multiples of things. We have enough tumeric in this house to start a small cult. See also tissues, zip ties, etc. We don't need to buy any more for a long time. But we obviously have some sort of worry that we might be without so I would like a shopping app into which I can enter what we already have plenty of.

So my thought is, I am in the store and going ooh, look, 20% off when you buy three packs of tumeric, and then I can look at my app and see no, tumeric is on the no-buy list. At some future point, in about 2027 as I notice I am running out of tumeric I can go in and uncheck it.

The app should be accessible by everyone in the home and be on both android and ios, so perhaps it's a website instead. For the actual shopping part I would like us to have a list where we can both add stuff we need for shopping and then uncheck it as we put the stuff in the basket to avoid the "I got us tumeric today" - "Oh, shit, I bought two yesterday" interactions. In an absolutely ideal world this would be a smart enough app that it might suggest that given our usual purchasing patterns it's time for us to buy washing powder or whatever. Not sure what other functions I might like, I mainly want to have a no-buy list of shit to steer clear of.
