The other day my wife and I were doing the “don’t forget to pick up X at the store” routine. She then came back with, “if you go, don’t forget Y.”
Just the a little brilliant hack came to me. I quickly opened up TextEdit on the Mac (notepad for you Windows folks) and write down the items we needed and saved it to our shared Dropbox folder.
Over the last few days, my wife opened up the file on her PC and added a few little things to it. Today when I made a trip to the grocery store, I opened up the Dropbox iPhone app, viewed the list, purchased the items and came home.
I cleared out the list, adding two things we forgot, and the next time one of us goes to the store, we have a shared shopping list. It’s simple, but very handy.
