Plain ol’ iOS Reminders app for the family grocery list

Pros: you can share the grocery list with your family so you can all collab. It’s always with you so when something pops into your head that you need you can just add it, instead of trying to remember for the next time you’re in front of a paper list on the fridge, like an animal. You can organize it roughly by your path through your grocery store. It remembers what you’ve bought in the past so it tries to autocomplete as you’re typing stuff in.

Bonus: if you use Mela for recipes (rec here!) you can get it to sync to your Reminders grocery list!

Cons: sometimes you’ll be actively shopping and checking stuff off and then somebody in your family will sneak something else on there and you gotta backtrack through the store because you also have Find My on and they know you haven’t left the store yet.
