Purpose

</aside>

This is the home base. A quick glance here will show you what’s on your shopping list and have links to all other relevant pages. This isn’t meant to get too cluttered to allow focus to remain on navigation and ease of reference when shopping.

<aside> 🗺️ How to Use

</aside>

1. Use the Home Navigation tabs to enter into the meal planner, ingredients database, recipe gallery, and receipt tracker.
2. Use the Shopping List to easily stay on top purchasing only what is needed:
   1. The “Add to Ingredients List” button is there to quickly add a new entry into the ‘Ingredients’ database in case a new item is purchased while shopping
   2. The “Misc. Items” list is there to jot down any non-food items, or items that will not be purchased again
   3. The “Shopping List” database will update automatically, showing you only what is needed for the upcoming week, sorted by like items so you can navigate the store efficiently, and how much is needed for upcoming recipes as to not overstock. Be sure to change the status to “In Stock” has you add items to your cart to easily keep the database up to date.

<aside> ⚙ Technicals

</aside>

• A Table of Context linking all relevant pages in one space.
• A button that when clicked adds a blank page to the Ingredients database.
• A bulleted list to jot down miscellaneous needs.
• A view of the Grocery Shopping database filtered by the “In Progress” Status (a.k.a “shopping list”). If the database is kept up to date, anytime you’re in the store you should be able to see what is needed. As well as mark it as “In Stock” once it’s in the cart to help keep the database current. This will be automatically updated with the ingredients needed for the next week’s meal prep by hitting the “New Week” button in the Meal Prep page.
