grocery shopping.

Is there a highly configurable app for sorting groceries? I’m currently using the pro version of copymethat [0], and it does a decent job of figuring out what aisles certain products belong to, and then let me sort those aisles however I want.

But what I can’t do, is telling it that I don’t have "eggs & dairy" but instead those are two sections in different places (and still properly sorting). I also can’t save separate orders for the aisles, one REWE has aisles sorted X Y Z, the other might be X Z Y. And I also want it to know about some local brands. "Deit" (German no sugar soda) gets currently sorted into "Other" by default, while I want it to be in "Beverages"

I even tried to make something like that myself, but besides my lack of knowledge of ML, I also had issues getting the proper data in a clean format, I ended up having to create a 100 item dataset which then (either in general or because I didn’t know what I was doing) was not enough to get good results.
