First Look: Shelf Life

one problem here, different countries use different amounts of preservatives in their food and therefore last different amounts of time. I have an american friend who was shocked when he first came to britain that all his food went bad much quicker than it would have back home.

I double buy groceries all of the time. You are at the store thinking about a certain meal you are going to make in a few days and you think, "Do we already have chicken breasts?" You are unsure so you buy some more just to be safe...and you end up having way too many. This should help that.

More importantly, you buy roast beef to make a stew, stick it in the fridge because you are going to make the stew tomorrow. Then a day or two passes where something comes up and you end up going out to eat with friends instead of making the stew. Is the meat still good? I have no idea, but this program does.

I think it's a great looking app.

It sometimes feels like a pain to enter all the groceries I've bought, but in the end I have to say it's worth it. Just had this app for a week and already it's reminded me of a few items I forgot I had. Good if you're forgetful like me!

Wow what overkill. Just open the fridge and smell... holy cow. Sitting there typing the contents of my fridge in to my iPhone?? You have time for that? You must have rich parents...

Excellent.

A useful thing for these grocery apps would be an online list.
So when I'm at work and my wife needs something, she can go online and update the list instead of sending me an e-mail with all the stuff I need to buy on my way home...

I thought the story about this app was a joke! Why on earth would anyone go to the trouble of recording expiration dates on their iPhone? It's far easier just to look in the fridge.

Milk? Milk doesn't go bad, it just changes state.

I'll tell ya what.. Wil Shipley's guys should really build Delicious Kitchen... I'd pay like 75 bucks for something like that... Let me photo the stuff as i buy/put away, let me use my iphone to take photos, manage the inventory of my kitchen.. do some text recognition like Evernote does...

Iphone as text data entry device blows. I like the idea of Shelf Life.. but can't do it.

It would be better if it had the data in there about when it expires. I don't know how many times my roommates and I are like... how long does chicken last, or garlic, etc... just put in when you bought it.
