INSTANTLY PRINT what you need from the GROCERY STORE via WIRELESS FOOD IDENTIFICATION in your home
Idea Description
Utilizing very inexpensive RFID tags, Radio Frequency Identification, place a monitor on the front of refrigerators, built in or added on, that allow the computer to keep track of what is inside the fridge and pantry. Although this idea would require that food packagers start to attach the small, inexpensive tags to food item packages, in the beginning they can manually be stuck on each package. The computer can print off a grocery list of what is missing from your fridge by sending it wirelessly to your printer. Each RFID corresponds to a specific type of food such as meat, mayonaisse, mustard, juice, etc. A busy mother can walk by the fridge and print a list of what is needed instantly

Q1: Measuring quantity can potentially be a problem. Unless there is a currently inexpensive device that can be attached to liquid items and food items to measure quantity, then this product might be hard to establish a demand for.
I like the idea, I worked for someone once who hired someone to go online and buy his groceries for him from an online delivery place. I think something like this would be great for the really busy people, and if you could tie it in to an online grocery store, it would be a great combo. Especially for those that just are too busy.
Yes, it would include cupboard items as well. The only problem is that some items require measurements of volume, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that it is worthless if you cannot. I'm sure that there is a way to do it. And yes, you could program in recipes and it could let you know what you need.

I would never have thought of this before but as I'm sitting at my desk at the end of the day and kicking myself for leaving my grocery list at home, I wish the product existed. Would it work for pantry items as well? Could you some how tie it in to one of the recipe websites like, allrecipes.com. I could say I want to make this recipe and then it would scan my cubards and refridge and tell me what ingrediants I needed to pick up on my way home to make that dish. That would be very cool
This is the future.
