Since I got my new iPhone 4 I’ve tried to make the most of it in every situation, using it not only as a phone, but also as a personal information manager, calendar, media player, pocket GPS, portable gaming device… and even as a shopping list. While grocery shopping may not be as fun as listening to music or watching YouTube videos, it’s still something you must do on quite a regular basis – and something your iPhone can help you with.

Here’s a list of five shopping list apps you can use on the iPhone, all of which can make domestic chores a bit easier on you. You’ll still have to carry the bags yourself, though.
