Ramadan grocery list — for iftar and suhoor
Popping into the store several times a day for iftar and suhoor wears you out over Ramadan. Use this list to gather what you need in one trip; shared through a room code, everyone adds whatever they notice running out and nothing gets skipped. No sign-up needed.
In short
Ramadan grocery shopping covers iftar, the meal that breaks the fast at sunset, and suhoor, the pre-dawn meal. Typical items are dates, olives, flatbread, soup ingredients and a milk dessert such as güllaç for iftar, and cheese, eggs, yogurt, bread and fruit for suhoor, plus meat, rice, vegetables, tea and water. Stock up on dry goods before Ramadan begins.

Tips
Stock up on dates, olives and dry goods before Ramadan starts so you don't get caught in the last-minute crowds.
Buy the flatbread fresh just before iftar; bread bought in the morning turns hard by evening.
Prepare suhoor ingredients the evening before so you're not rummaging around half asleep.
Make the güllaç before iftar and let it rest in the fridge; don't leave the milk and sheets for the last minute.

Frequently asked questions
What should you eat at suhoor?
Choose foods that keep you full for longer, with fibre and protein: eggs, cheese, yogurt, olives, wholegrain bread and fruit. Drinking plenty of water between iftar and suhoor also helps you feel comfortable through the day.
How is the fast traditionally broken at iftar?
Traditionally with dates or water and olives, followed by soup and then the main meal. Starting gently with soup and letting the heavy food wait a little suits most people better than eating fast on an empty stomach.
How do you plan Ramadan shopping?
Buy dry goods, dates, olives and drinks in bulk before Ramadan, and pick up flatbread and vegetables fresh through the month. A weekly menu for iftar and suhoor cuts both waste and daily trips to the store.
Can I change the list?
Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.
Do I need an account?
No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.
How long is the list kept?
As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
