Add your own items

Your shopping list is built from your meals, but your shop is not. You can add anything else you need to the same list.

Adding something

Use the Add an item box at the top of the Kitchen tab, type what you need, and tap Add. Your own items appear under My items, kept separate from the ingredients Bolus planned.

What they do and do not do

Your own items:

• Sit on the same list, so you only carry one list round the shop.
• Tick off the same way as anything else.

They do not feed into your meals, your nutrition figures or your Insights. Bolus does not treat an item you added as something you ate; it is a shopping note, not a food diary.

Removing one

Swipe or open the item to delete it. Items you added are yours to remove at any point, and they do not come back next week: each week’s list is built fresh from that week’s meals.

Things Bolus never adds

Water is never on the list. Store cupboard basics such as oil and salt appear as a “check you have” rather than something to buy every week, on the assumption you already have them in.
