Lock, Stock And One Online Grocery List

Ikan-Personal-Grocery-Shopping-Tool.jpgFor those men that declare themselves as foodies (and those that don’t) the concept of grocery shopping is typically an annoyance. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to automatically jot down a reminder every time you run out of a certain product? Sea salt, import lagers, aged angus beef, free range eggs, 9-grain bread, olive oil, pappardelle, oh and toilet paper.

Enter Ikan. Ikan scans the UPC barcode on any package you’re finished (or not finished) with and automatically adds that product to an online shipping cart. The cart remains stored until you’re ready to make a grocery order thereby eliminating the hassle of going through a mental or physical inventory.

If the barcode isn’t clever enough, you can use the voice recorder to add items (”Q-Tips. Almonds. Beer!”) or the built-in Search & Add feature. Set the Ikan to automatically send email reminders or if you prefer shopping in person, the Ikan can also print out your saved shopping list to take with you.

After all, every man should find himself well-acquainted with the local grocery’s meat aisle and butcher/monger. It’s your god-given right and duty.
