Regular Items & Standard shopping lists
We have two types of shopping lists:
Regular items - Somewhere to store all of your weekly/monthly staples. When preparing your weekly shop, you can run through your 'Regular Items', tick any you need and then copy them onto your active shopping list.
Standard shopping lists - You can store up to 9 standard shopping lists and mark one as your 'active' list. This is the list that CookBook will default to when adding recipes to your shopping list.
