Items you need today

Not everything on the list is needed at once. Bolus marks each item with when the meal that needs it happens.

The markers

Items carry a TODAY or TOMORROW label next to the ingredient name. Anything without one is needed later in the week.

The row also says how much of it the week needs, so you can see what you would be short for if you left it.

Shopping in smaller trips

If you would rather not do one big shop, use the markers: pick up what is labelled today and tomorrow, and leave the rest. Fresh items in particular are often better bought closer to the day.

The trade-off is more trips. Bolus does not mind either way; the list is the same list, and the counts simply fill in more slowly.

The banner on your week

If you are short of anything for the next two days, the Plan segment shows a banner counting what is missing, with See what needs buying through to the list. The Today card does the same for the meal in front of you, and a reminder can tell you when tonight’s dinner is short. See when you are short of ingredients.
