How Product Suggestions Speed Up Your Grocery Planning & Shopping

Personalized shopping experiences aren’t just a trend – they’re backed by data. Several studies show that smart suggestions play a key role in improving how people shop, from efficiency to overall satisfaction.

👉 Consumers favor recommendations

Smart shopping lists are changing the way we approach everyday shopping. Personalized suggestions help save time by surfacing the most relevant items based on habits, preferences, or seasonal needs – cutting down on unnecessary scrolling and indecision. This not only makes the process faster but also reduces the chances of forgetting everyday essentials.

A good recommendation isn’t random – it’s rooted in data and convenience, designed to anticipate what the user wants before they even realize it. It can also introduce new products similar to the ones you buy regularly, helping explore alternatives without extra effort.

A recent Zendesk report confirms that 2% of shoppers prefer personalized recommendations 6 over generic ones, and 75% of customers actively appreciate brands that offer such tailored experiences.

These numbers highlight the growing expectation for digital tools to not only track what we buy but also help us shop smarter – more efficiently, with less friction, and even with a sense of discovery.

👉 Perfect for families and individuals

Each of us has different shopping habits and behaviors. However, the product suggestions system works for both family shopping trips and single purchases.

The more people in the family, the more products there are to remember; with product suggestions, you no longer have to keep in mind your children’s favorite cornflakes or the ingredients you buy every week for dinner. On the other hand, if you’re single, you can appreciate the personalization that product suggestions bring to your shopping experience.

👉 More personalization means less stress

Shopping is not always pleasant; some people may find it frustrating, tiring, or even unbearable. Smart suggestions come in here to reduce this mental overload and help you create the list without additional stress. Thanks to seeing only the relevant content, you’ll be able to focus on what you need to buy instead of trying to recall everything from the back of your mind.

By learning your habits and anticipating your needs, product suggestions take the guesswork out of shopping, help you build lists faster, and even remind you of the things you might’ve forgotten.

✅ Create lists faster with shopping history

Your shopping history is a powerful tool. Smart suggestions use it to pre-fill lists based on what you usually buy. If 70% of your shopping habits stay the same week to week, there’s no reason to start from scratch.

The system remembers what you bought, making it easy to rebuild or tweak your list. This speeds things up and reduces the mental load. You don’t have to dig through old notes or guess what brand you bought last time. Your previous items are right there, ready to tap.

✅ See what’s popular – get inspired

Smart lists also show you what other users are buying, giving you inspiration when you’re not sure what to add. If something is trending, like a seasonal snack or a back-in-stock item, you’ll see it. This helps you stay in the loop and try new things without doing extra research.

Suggestions can also reflect local trends, which makes the experience more relevant. You get ideas that match what others near you are actually buying. It’s a subtle way to explore without searching. And when you see something popular that fits your taste, it’s just one tap to add it.

✅ No more guessing

Smart suggestions eliminate the need to remember every single item before you start your list. They highlight products you frequently buy, so you’re not relying on memory. This is especially helpful for repetitive purchases like milk, eggs, or bread. You don’t have to wonder what’s missing; your list can surface it automatically. With fewer forgotten items, you avoid extra trips to the store.

✅ Browse the full product catalog

Smart shopping lists offer access to the full product catalog, making it easy to find anything you need beyond just your usuals. You can explore new categories, see what’s trending, and discover options you might not consider otherwise.

It’s also useful when planning meals or prepping for special occasions. Having the entire catalog at your fingertips makes shopping more complete and efficient.

✅ Add unlimited custom products

Smart suggestions are powerful, but you’re still in control. You can quickly add custom items that aren’t in the catalog, whether it’s your favorite local brand or a handwritten reminder like “pick up parcel.”

The system learns from this input and can suggest it next time. If you often buy something niche or personalized, it won’t be forgotten. This flexibility keeps the list truly yours, not just automated.

Smart lists work around your needs, not the other way around. You don’t have to wait for a product to be officially listed to make it part of your routine. It’s your shopping style, supported – not restricted – by smart features.
