I'm looking for a good way to share grocery lists in my household. Currently we're using Grocy but it has too much bells and whistles.

It's really nice that Grocy suggests known products and can be used with the android app. But the process of adding new products feels a bit tedious.

I'm curious what other setups there are. Any suggestions?

My family uses a custom Todo list on home assistant. I've got a separate dashboard of items we can just click to add to the grocery list, and then when shopping, checking them will move them out of the way. Very convenient, quick, and shared. So if you use HA, it might be good option, especially since you're wanting something simpler (I was in the same boat)

that is an idea I might take :) how does this handle being offline? for example i sometimes lose connection in same stores here, but I still need to at least see the entries on the list :)

Hmm that's actually something I hadn't thought about, but yeah it probably wouldn't work for an offline mode... If the app is already open, maybe it would work, but I'm not 100% sure. In general, it does require internet to connect to your home assistant (my phone is setup with wireguard to VPN into mind so it's not internet facing). So yeah unless it can be used during those random connection drops, maybe not a perfect option :(

oh ok. I am using Nabu Casa Cloud for mine so i am always online via cloud. i tested it with enabling flight-mode and the app goes directly to the disconnected state. Altought the app I developed for a share grocery-list has the same issue, so I will give HA a try anyway :) so still a good recommendation 😀👍
