Shopping List App

Just wondering if anyone knew of a good shopping list app, that would let me tick an item off or put a line through it when selected?
 
I researched a bunch of these apps and found Our Groceries (which is free) to be best (and it meets your crossed-off-item requirement). It's one of my favorite, most-used apps.

Our Groceries lets you create multiple, re-usable shopping lists, To-Do lists, packing lists, etc. that can be shared among your phones, PCs, etc., and are real-time synchronized through the cloud. My wife and I share an account on our phones and PCs so whoever is at the store has the up-to-date shopping list (for Costco, or Home Depot, or the auto parts store, etc.) Or if we're packing to go skiing, we instantly know who has already packed what.

Things we love & additional uses:
1) Since my wife & I share an account, and crossed-off items are instantly synced, we can save time by simultaneously shopping at the same store from opposite ends (meeting in the middle).

2) Easy PC/Mac editing on the OurGroceries website. We keep an "Our Grocereies" shortcut on our PC's desktops/taskbar and we set it to login automatically so that you can add/delete items within a few seconds from the PC-- which then sync instantly.

3) It's great for packing lists & To-Do lists (though that wasn't likely the intended use).

4) Crossed-off items remain visible (in a strike-through font) at the bottom of your list and can be restored to the list by simply clicking on them. So for example, you don't have to re-type "milk" or "haircut", or remember your inkjet cartridge part #, or re-look-up your car's oil filter part #.

5) "Best Price" list: We keep a list (not really a shopping list) of benchmark prices so that we know, for example, when we go into our local grocery store, if their sale price on item X is as good as the normal price at Costco. Such "Best Price" items are automatically sorted alphabetically, and might include an item like, "Margarine, Canola Harvest tub, 1lb, $2.79. ($2.79/lb)- Costco." If you create such a list or include the standard pricing like the example above, then when you add items to a different list, after typing a few letters, the matching "Best Price" item appears as a quick-auto-text drop-down menu that you can select. So instead of just having "margarine" on the list, you can have the benchmark pricing details like mentioned above. That's nice in this situation: You have a Costco list and a Walmart list. You're at Walmart and you've completed your Walmart shopping list, but you check your Costco list to see if there's an item that you might want to get at Walmart-- if the price were similar. Without having to back out to the "Best Price" list to see the price for each item, you can see the benchmark prices inside the Costco list.

6) You can email lists, just in case you need a paper copy or want to share a list with someone.

7) On the PC/Mac, you can copy & paste text from existing text-based lists, like a Word document. (Just use the "import" blank field).

8) Items can be added by voice-to-text on the Android app.

I recommend choosing the option to "long-press" items to cross them off the list, otherwise you can accidentally cross them off the list.
 
Google Keep is free and has a checklist (shopping) in it. You can check the items off, delete them and even slide them around in the order.

Best of all, constantly syncing so you can do the same on a computer to the same list.
 
I use Keep as well, very convenient. I must say, I'm surprised the chain grocery stores haven't created a shopping list app. (maybe they have tho) combined with e coupons and sales notifications, might be really useful.
 
Me and my wife use "Out of Milk" you can view it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.capigami.outofmilk&hl=en

I really love it a lot. Its convenient, easy to use, edit/add to any list. Create as many list as you like. You can manually snyc or real time sync. (Very useful if your in a store with little to no data signal.) You can edit list on mobile device or PC and all list are backed up to their cloud.
