Phase 3

Add in external devices:

Scanner for barcodes to allow more automated inventory control
Scale to weigh items
Scan receipts to allow more automated inventory control
Add in conversions and inventory management, volume or amount column to database
E.g. 2C of milk used to make X recipe, 1 gallon - 2C is Y gallons or Z cups or W oz
Work with vendors/grocery stores to get access to databases of barcodes.
Optional: Potentially add in option for grocery stores to pay to appear on shopping lists

Phase 4

Mobile app to show live grocery list, no need to print
Database inventory update to include coupons and bargain shopping. Price matching or best deals
Include pictures with the barcode early in the process, that way 1 gallon of milk is the same if it’s from Publix or Walmart. Also utilize AI/machine learning to learn average usage for items. Help plan shopping trips
