Adding and removing staples

Updated 2026-09-02

Open the Grocery tab and tap Pantry staples in the toolbar.

Add a staple

Type an ingredient name in the search box. Matching ingredients appear under Add to pantry — tap the + next to one to make it a staple.

Remove a staple

In the list of your current staples, tap the X next to an ingredient. It's no longer treated as something you always have.

"Ran out"

Next to each staple is a cart icon. Tap it to drop that ingredient onto your grocery buy list as a one-off, without removing it as a staple — for when you use the last of something and need to restock.

Staples are permanent until you remove them

Clearing your grocery list does not clear your pantry staples. They belong to the household for as long as you keep them.
