My preference would be for the output to only contain those items that I'm ordering, and not be cluttered up with additional items I'm not. I'll have to look at the shopping apps you were talking about Ozw.
I don't know what's available for iPad, but OurGroceries for Blackberry works on a few other platforms. Instead of making lists like Grocery, Hardware, etc you could create departments or suppliers. This one has catagories too, for stuff like dairy, meat, etc. Gives you another way to group stuff together. It has a built in list of items, but you can just add your own, change quantities & such. Recipes gives you a way to add multiple items to the lists in one click, if there's stuff you reliably buy on a regular basis. If you get creative, one might work out.
Edit: Another interesting thing you can do is put it on your iPhone or whatever else, specify an email address & it'll keep multiple devices synced automatically. Get home & suddenly remember what you needed to add to the list, knowing you'll forget by morning? Poof. Added & didn't even need to remember to bring the iPad home.
