Users can print out a categorized shopping list, or send the list to an iPod, Palm, or cell phone. Kitchen Companion offers advanced quantity management, scan in/out capabilities, consumption history, physical location tracking, custom searching, dynamic shopping lists, and nutrition information from the USDA.
