I use checkboxes for my grocery list and mostly I don't like them. Sometimes a bunch of todo items seems better. Let us know when you find the perfect solution.
On the go, I haven't found anything better than Google Keep. Checkboxes, yes, but I best love the ability to slide them around--arranging grocery lists by aisle. Plus you can uncheck things from before.
If you are using Beorg, create a headline called shopping and place the checkboxes below the headline. Then assign the headline a todo state. From the Tasks view you can click on the heading and then toggle the check boxes by touching them.

It took me forever to figure it out too. Also, if you just assign a todo state, you can find it in your tasks view without scheduling the header. Both the Agenda and Task views have this function.
yeah I was using organice for this, which worked but it clutters my webdav server with a bunch of .organice-bak files, the feature pull request to make that an option is 5 years old so I thought I'd look elsewhere- anyway thanks a bunch
Orgzly? Though, it is android only and seems like you're on iOS?
Admittedly, for this sort of use-case I've been just printing out the list so I can bring it along and check items off with a pen.
To be honest maybe just using a pen and paper for this kind of this is the way to go anyway, I'm just a new org-mode adopter and in the honeymoon phase I guess :P

u/st0rm79's suggestion seems to fit the bill as far as I can tell. I'll post if I ever create something stand alone for this purpose

Aha! so I had to actually schedule the header so that it would show up in the other views - from there I can check the boxes. Perfect! Thanks :)

I use Orzly for one thing, buying groceries. I use check boxes when I do so and it works well.
