Syncthing to sync the grocery list to your phone whenever it is on the home WiFi. Any changes will be updated when you next get back home.

I use this with obsidian and it's a game changer, removing need for the cloud

More than one person can be in the grocery store. Syncing a file does not work because you overwrite each other's changes; this is what we started with but this is why I made (what I call) multiplayer groceries in the first place

And note that I also don't need a "cloud"; it's hosted on my own system rather than someone else's

Even Home Assistant have a shopping list built in by now.
