Add more boxes when you add more items; check them off when you use one, periodically erase checked boxes if you're feeling like tidying the list, but it's not necessary. So, e.g.,
Hot Italian sausage, ground 1lb \u2610\u2610\u2610\u2610\u2610
Hot Italian sausage, links 1lb \u2612\u2612\u2610\u2610
