How Grocli works
And how to get the most out of it. It only takes a few minutes to read.
Grocli in 4 steps
- Tell us about your home. Fill in the form: who you cook for, your budget, allergies, the food you love, how much time you have to cook, your appliances and the stores you use.
- Show us your kitchen. Take photos of your fridge, freezer and cupboard, and tick what you already have.
- We plan your week. You get dinners with easy recipes and a shopping list split by store. It leaves out what you already have.
- Shop in minutes. Copy your list into Checkers Sixty60, Pick n Pay ASAP or SPAR2U, fill your basket and check out.
Your plan arrives in My plans, and we email you when it's ready.
📸 Take good photos
The better we can see your kitchen, the less you buy twice.
- Open the door wide and take the photo straight on, not from the side.
- Turn the light on. Dark photos hide food.
- One photo per shelf is better than one blurry photo of everything.
- Don't forget the cupboard and freezer. That's where the rice, tins, spices and frozen chicken live.
- Move things to the front if they're hiding behind the milk.
✅ Tick what you have, and tell us what's running out
- Tick everything in your fridge and cupboard lists. Ticked items stay off your shopping list.
- Use "+ More" to add anything that's not on the list.
- Add items under "Nearly finished", like the last bit of oil or 2 eggs left. We'll remind you to check them or add them to your list.
🔄 Update before your next plan
Your kitchen changes every week, so your plan should too.
- Take new photos before each new plan, or at least when you've done a big shop.
- Changed something? New budget, a new allergy, someone moved in, the air fryer broke? Update your form.
Changes go into your next plan. A plan you've already got won't change, so update early.
⚠️ Allergies: tell us everything
- List every allergy in the household, even mild ones.
- If you're not sure whether something is safe, add it anyway. We'd rather leave it out.
- Always read the labels in the shop as well. Products and ingredients can change.
🛒 Shop your list in seconds
Your shopping list is split by store. Use each store's list in that store's app only.
Checkers Sixty60 and Pick n Pay ASAP (AI chat)
- Open your plan in My plans and find the list for that store.
- Tap Copy list next to the store name.
- Open Sixty60 or ASAP and open the store's AI chat / shopping assistant.
- Paste and send. The copied list already starts with "Please help me add these to my basket".
- The app shows a row of products for each item. Choose the one you want and tap Add.
- Check your basket, then check out as normal.
Tip: if the chat gets confused, paste 5 to 10 items at a time instead of the whole list.
SPAR2U
Search for each item in the SPAR2U app and add it to your basket. Tick items off on your Grocli list as you go.
💸 About prices
- The prices on your plan are a guide to help you stay on budget.
- Stores change their prices and specials without notice, sometimes daily. The price in the store app at checkout is the one you'll pay.
- Your plan shows the date the prices were checked.
- Grocli can't control store prices, stock or delivery fees. If something is out of stock, choose a similar product.
