To be honest, I really can't wait until my fridge tells me that I'm out of eggs. I hate going to the supermarket and forgetting what's in there.

It's an odd problem. My partner insists on keeping a shopping list. But mostly I remember what we have in the fridge and store cupboard, as I frequently cook. I don't actually forget that many items when shopping. Toothpaste I don't keep in the fridge. Being able to have a quick glance remotely could help, but I'd probably then abandon trying to remember, and it would probably take me longer. My partner recently tried a little stretch of buying online and collecting from the store. But for me, it took all the fun out of shopping. I actually enjoy strutting the supermarket - and some domestic tasks. My partner likes certainty. I like mixing things up a little.
What you can do now is do your shopping from your kitchen and get it delivered. So convenient.
It probably will just order some overpriced eggs from (and only from) the manufacturers partner store.
