Bag Habits is the best shopping assistant for iPhone that will help you build a habit of using re-usable bags.
Organise your list, set your re-use promises, and have Bag Habits help you with timely visual cues and notifications.
The shopping list can be populated with individual items or by adding recipes (lists of items you can setup). Promises help you define your re-use goals, such as "asking shop attendants to use your re-usable and not a plastic one", and help you focus on how youve chosen to help. Reminders automatically trigger after shopping and long periods of not using the app to help keep you on track, remind you of your goals, and create the feedback necessary to help create your habit of re-use.
Features:
> Add Shopping List items and cross them off the list as your shop
> Define Recipes (lists of items) and add them to your shopping list
> Describe the actions youll take as Promises to focus how youve chosen to help
> Adjust notification timing, watch the app instructions or email us feedback in Settings
> Build your habit of re-use and help improve your environment
