Get the whole house adding to one shopping list
You get home from the big shop and someone says 'did you get milk?'. Set up one shared Google Keep list everyone adds to, sorted by aisle.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me set up a shared shopping list for our house. Who's in the house: [e.g. me, partner, two teenagers] Shop we use most: [e.g. a big supermarket, a local shop] Things we buy most weeks: [list] Things we often forget: [e.g. bin bags, batteries] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A starter list of our usual items, one per line, grouped in the order you'd walk round a typical shop (fruit and veg first, frozen last). 2. A separate "often forgotten" section at the end. 3. A short message for the house: how to add things and to tick them off in the shop. 4. A two-line rule for who adds what, so it doesn't turn into a wish list. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
A short example
Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. me, partner, two teenagers: a short note you already have. e.g. a big supermarket, a local shop: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
