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 like the recipe management, but I dislike the grocery list for the same reason I don’t like Grocy. It is just too complex and hard to use in the store.

Seconded for Our Groceries. The sync between devices is great and I LOVE the barcode scanning.
I will have a look into it.

I’m using Mealie for this, and so far suits my needs
I really like tandoor reciepe. Maybe not exactly what your are looking for, but who knows :).
I like how the meal planner works and that you can save your own meal reciepes, add them to a grocery list…
BUT it is maybe a bit too complex and to much features?

Yeah, I know !
How I do it:
I bought a mobile holder for bicycles, and put it on the cart when I’m in the store. It works, its not perfect but I does what I need !
But i totally agree that the grocery list could be better integrated, but it’s FOSS, self-hosted and free. So I’m happy :)
Update: We switched to Kitchen Owl as suggested in the comments.
