Grocery Shopping App

I would like to be an iPhone or iPod app developer. I have a few ideas up my sleeve. Here's one I'm willing to share.

I would like to see a grocery shopping app, where you can view the layout of your most frequented supermarkets and grocery shops. You then upload or select your shopping list, and it spits out the most efficient method of manoeuvring through the supermarket. Or let's say you don't care about efficiency, but you want to shop for all your cold items (ice cream, milk, deli meats etc) at the end. Or you want to buy items in a certain order. It could plan that route as well. And you could tick things off your list/route as you collected them.

Now wouldn't that be a useful app?

  1. Agreed! Great idea! The only problem would be keeping the info current when the staff move the stock around to different shelves.

  2. Sweet! It would stop you from being distracted by things you don't need, because you wouldn't need to scan shelves, you could just go straight to the things you want! You should email Coles and Woolies. They have all the info, they might make it for you, although they might add some promotional stuff.
