Using a Menu You can select from a list of pre-defined tasks, enter bulk tasks as a list To your Inbox.

Create a Shopping list by simply listing all the item you need to purchase the same way you'll input the bulk tasks. More for Food and other items that will expire you can list all of them and then input a date for each individual item in the same menu selection.

Note: you'll need a Shopping and Expirations List to use the last two.
