The Zeer Blog

Have you noticed all the new faces on Zeer today?

Time Magazine has selected Zeer as one of the Top 50 Websites of 2008 ! We’re up there alongside some other great up-and-coming sites. I’ve enjoyed the morning perusing their selections and picked a few favorites below:

1. Serious Eats is a cornucopia of mouth-watering fare that covers tours all corners of the globe. Foodies will delight in bright pictures and armchair eating. It’s one of the few food sites that does the culinary experience casually without a lot of fluff, but a lot of great food.
2. Worried about gas prices, food costs and financial planning? Mint is a free financial service that helps everyday people keep track of what their spending. Using easy to understand pie charts and graphs users can see where their money is going (food, travel, utilities) and read helpful advice that helps keep their finances on track.
3. Turn promises into actions with Carbonrally , a site where you can create environmentally-friendly teams (from your home or office) and challenge them obtainable eco-challenges like taking a 2 minute shower, eating less red meat, or saving 20 sheets of paper a day. I plan on challenging my Zeer team to a meat-free challenge very soon.
4. And of course, there’s us! Zeer . We help people obtain unbiased information about groceries. On our site you can examine product information, create shopping lists online, and share products and advice on food with friends.

Zeer on Time Magazine’s Top 50 Websites of 2008

We’ve all made lists.

Lists scrawled on the back of receipts, on notebook paper, on note cards and even on the back of hands. Lists are a basic but vital tool that every organized shopper needs.

With Zeer Lists, it’s now easier than ever to create lists that keep you confident and organized.

1. Shopping List: With your Zeer shopping list, you can work on your shopping list days in advance, resort your shopping list by category, write in notes or specify quantity and print the list with (or without) pictures.
2. Favorite List : Your favorite list is a great place to keep track of your most often purchased items so you can easily transfer them to your shopping list and inventory!
3. Inventory List : You can also keep track of what food items are in your house already with you inventory list. No more guest work! Leave notes or record quantity so you never have to wonder “Is there any milk left?” again.
4. Want List : Zeer wants you to mix things up in your kitchen. If you see a product on Zeer that you want to try, send that drool-worthy bad boy over to your want list. From there, you can send wanted products to your other lists including your shopping list and inventory.
5. To Review : Don’t let another review slip through your fingers! When you spy a product that has your opinion written all over it, mark it “To Review” for easy access later.
