Grocery shopping apps (lemmy.world)

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don't like is the interface for both of them. I don't see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?

I've been extremely fond of "Our Groceries" for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can't use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.

I really like Our Groceries, but AFAIK it's not self hosted nor foss

Seconded for Our Groceries. The sync between devices is great and I LOVE the barcode scanning.
