    Google Keep does it for me. The checkbox system just works.

    I know it's perilous to depend on a Google product, and any day now I fully expect Google to kill it but I'm going to use it until that fateful day comes

    The "perfect" solution exists it was developed by Toyota and adjusted for groceries by this guy: https://www.heitmanagement.com/blog/2014/09/kanban-for-groce...

    And it involves no apps nor lists.

    Because a grocery list was part of Englebart's influential 1968 GUI demo. And because at that time, grocery mgmt was the responsibility of a man's homemaker wife, and Englebart needed to capture her list to help with the chore. Of course being a super competent can-do highly educated technological man, Englebart put to together a team to build the Mother of All Shopping List apps.
