00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.490
Hey, welcome to Grocery List Plus.

2
00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:06.580
This is the Grocery List Plus feature series, My Inventory.

3
00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:09.680
Today, we're looking at My Inventory.

4
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.790
In this video, we'll explain how My Inventory grows

5
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:14.970
as you use Grocery List Plus,

6
00:00:15.020 --> 00:00:16.690
learns your household's habits,

7
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:19.580
and helps you prepare for your next grocery trip.

8
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.840
So, what problem does My Inventory solve?

9
00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:25.170
Think about the things you buy regularly,

10
00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:28.760
milk, coffee, eggs, paper towels.

11
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.680
Each trip starts with some familiar questions.

12
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:33.170
What do we still have?

13
00:00:33.220 --> 00:00:34.770
What are we running low on?

14
00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:36.540
And what am I forgetting?

15
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.170
Remembering everything can be a lot,

16
00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:41.860
especially when you're shopping for more than yourself.

17
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:45.370
My Inventory keeps that information from one trip to the next,

18
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:48.390
so you don't have to start from scratch every time.

19
00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:52.980
Hmm, okay, so what exactly is My Inventory?

20
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.250
My Inventory is your ongoing collection

21
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:57.170
of grocery and household products,

22
00:00:57.220 --> 00:01:00.110
along with an estimate of what you have on hand.

23
00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:03.500
It grows through your normal activity in Grocery List Plus.

24
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.510
You don't need to count everything in your kitchen

25
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.170
or keep a separate inventory checklist.

26
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:09.690
And when you run out of a product,

27
00:01:09.740 --> 00:01:12.930
it stays in your collection, ready for your next trip.

28
00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.390
Your Grocery List helps you plan a trip.

29
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:19.440
Your Inventory remembers your products from one trip to the next.

30
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.710
Now, you may be wondering, how does this help you?

31
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.750
Let's say coffee is something you always keep at home.

32
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:29.070
As you add coffee to your lists and record your purchases,

33
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.390
Grocery List Plus learns how often your household buys it.

34
00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:34.370
That helps it estimate when you may need more

35
00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:37.110
and suggest coffee for an upcoming trip.

36
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:39.610
Inventory also connects with Recipes,

37
00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:41.470
Meal Maker, and Meal Planner,

38
00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:44.690
helping you plan around the ingredients you're estimated to have.

39
00:01:44.740 --> 00:01:47.690
You spend less time trying to remember everything.

40
00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:51.070
Your everyday planning and shopping take care of it automatically.

41
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.810
The more you use it, the faster it learns.

42
00:01:53.860 --> 00:01:57.080
The faster it learns, the more accurate it will get.

43
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.900
Okay, so how does all of this work in Grocery List Plus?

44
00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:03.370
When you add a product to your Grocery List,

45
00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:07.190
Grocery List Plus automatically adds it to My Inventory too.

46
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:08.590
Your list additions and purchases

47
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:11.210
help the system learn your shopping patterns.

48
00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:12.770
When you complete a shopping trip,

49
00:02:12.820 --> 00:02:14.290
it records what you bought,

50
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.790
replenishes its estimate, and marks those products Full.

51
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.110
As time passes, Grocery List Plus uses what it has learned

52
00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:23.600
to estimate when you may be running low.

53
00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:26.520
Recipe planning adds another piece of information.

54
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:27.970
When you add ingredients to a list

55
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:31.330
from Recipes, Meal Maker, or Meal Planner,

56
00:02:31.380 --> 00:02:33.890
Grocery List Plus subtracts the ingredient quantities

57
00:02:33.940 --> 00:02:38.280
from its estimated supply and updates its replenishment estimates.

58
00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:42.690
For example, suppose your lasagna calls for 32 ounces of spaghetti sauce

59
00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:46.670
and Grocery List Plus estimates you have 24 ounces.

60
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:49.130
It recognizes that you're about eight ounces short

61
00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:52.310
and makes spaghetti sauce a Suggested Item.

62
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.890
You don't have to go into inventory and mark it Low or Out.

63
00:02:55.940 --> 00:02:59.630
These are estimates that become more personal as you use the system.

64
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.720
You remain in control of what you actually buy.

65
00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:04.110
Sounds useful, right?

66
00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:06.400
Let's talk about how you get started.

67
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:08.640
Start with your next Grocery List.

68
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:12.220
The products you add become part of My Inventory automatically.

69
00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:15.230
Grocery List Plus also offers common household staples

70
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.950
when you first get started.

71
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.910
This is what we call your Initial Inventory.

72
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.570
If you want that head start,

73
00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:24.630
choose the products your household uses and confirm them.

74
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.720
You can also mark regular purchases as Recurring.

75
00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:29.860
Prefer to start with your own products?

76
00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:31.430
Choose Skip for now.

77
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:32.770
Your inventory starts empty

78
00:03:32.820 --> 00:03:35.950
and you can build it as you make lists and shop.

79
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.690
Or if you'd rather start by adding the products already in your kitchen,

80
00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.220
you can add them directly to My Inventory.

81
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.530
Either way, you don't need to catalog your kitchen before you begin,

82
00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:47.720
unless that's your preference.

83
00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:49.050
Once you've started,

84
00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:50.950
what do you need to do to keep it going?

85
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.510
Just keep using Grocery List Plus

86
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.110
for your everyday lists, shopping, and recipe planning.

87
00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:58.950
There's no extra inventory maintenance required.

88
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.170
Your activity helps the system refine its estimates over time

89
00:04:02.220 --> 00:04:05.410
so it can keep helping you prepare for the next trip.

90
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:09.150
You can visit My Inventory any time from the side navigation.

91
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:10.810
See the products you use,

92
00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:12.230
review Suggested Items,

93
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.130
and choose what to add to your next Grocery List.

94
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:18.550
Want to add something already in your kitchen or make a correction?

95
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.830
You can do that too.

96
00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:22.210
You can also remove products you no longer buy

97
00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:25.340
and mark your regular purchases as Recurring.

98
00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:28.310
Grocery List Plus keeps learning as you use it.

99
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.010
These options simply give you more control whenever you want it.

100
00:04:32.060 --> 00:04:33.370
For a deeper dive,

101
00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:35.450
we'll provide a full Inventory tutorial

102
00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:37.610
dedicated to exploring the features available

103
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.950
in My Inventory and showing you how to use them.

104
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.510
Next in the feature series,

105
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.350
we'll explore Recurring Items and Suggested Items

106
00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:48.250
and how they help you build your next Grocery List.

107
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:50.300
There's one more thing to cover.

108
00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:53.120
How does Grocery List Plus keep you informed?

109
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:55.150
Grocery List Plus can suggest products

110
00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:57.930
when it estimates you may need to replenish them,

111
00:04:57.980 --> 00:05:00.810
including ingredients needed for your recipe plans.

112
00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:04.630
Early estimates use typical purchasing patterns as a starting point.

113
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.590
Your activity and purchase history help personalize them over time.

114
00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:11.990
Review those Suggested Items and decide what belongs on your next list.

115
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.510
You can also receive restock reminders by email or text message.

116
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.770
In Message Settings,

117
00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:19.170
choose your delivery preferences

118
00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:22.260
and set a weekly limit for restock reminders.

119
00:05:22.380 --> 00:05:24.270
Grocery List Plus can also alert you

120
00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:27.150
when a recall matches a product in your inventory.

121
00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:31.030
Open the alert to review the recall details and affected products.

122
00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:35.150
Start with your next list and let Grocery List Plus learn as you go.

123
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:36.410
Thanks for watching.

124
00:05:36.460 --> 00:05:39.350
And remember, Spend Less. Eat Better.

125
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:41.890
Shop Smarter with Grocery List Plus.
