Hi Dane,

Sorry, I don't have any pages info, but just wanted to tell you about the 
quickest and easiest 
method I've found for shopping lists. It's the built-in reminders app. I just 
set up a list called shopping, or grocery, or whatever else I need, and then 
use SIRI to populate the list as I think of things I need during the week.

Using Siri, you can use the "add" keyword to add items to your list, and then 
once finished with the list , you can easily delete them off the list with a  
flick and tap of  the actions menu.

Example:
"add eggs, butter, bread and milk to grocery list".
or, "add to grocery list, eggs, butter, bread and milk"
that will put a reminder in the grocery list that says "eggs, butter, bread and 
milk".
As long as siri is up and running this method is so quick and easy that I don't 
bother with writing out lists in textedit or the notes program anymore.
The important thing is to use the keyword "add", and the name of the list in a 
phrase like "to shopping list".

It really works well and is just  something you might want to consider.
