Stardew Valley Bundle Checklist

I wanted to create an easy way to check-off items as I added them to bundles, in order to reduce walking and also to know what my short term priorities should be each season. I also wanted something that was easy to use on a phone, unlike most spreadsheets. I pulled together data from various sources, including https://stardewvalleywiki.com and other lists already out there. I hope this helps someone else.
