Food Audit App?

Hello!

I've signed up to the January grocery challenge & am currently knew deep in a full freezer/fridge/cupboard audit. I find that I seem to do these audits every few weeks/months but never quite manage to keep track. I end up with random bits of paper, covered in scribbles, which I start out updating when I use or buy food but they soon get lost & abandoned.

Does anyone know of a better way of keeping track? Is there an app perhaps (my current phone is Android if that makes a difference)? As I (sadly) always have my phone with me, I think I'd be more inclined to keep an app updated.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

    I actually use a shopping list called out of milk
    Inside the app you can make several shopping lists
    Once I have an inventory
    Mine are labelled freezer fridge tinned and other

    As I use things I either put them on a shopping list and then delete but I also add new things and put a number eg one for Han two for Feb so I know how old things are HTH. H
