You are more organized than I am. I divide the card into various
segments, and put lists for different stores in the segments. I may
note that I should use a coupon.

I made up an aisle list of the location of my most frequently bought items, stuck it on my fridge next to my PAPER list. I can cruise thru the store and skip whole aisles and rarely even look at my aisle guide.

The store gave up with the aisle guides on the carts - too many ppl picked at em and most of the print was obliterated.

Publix is infamous for rearranging. For a while, it was about every 9 months. I figured someone had a baby, quit the job, and the replacement person started again with rearrangement, then oops - baby on the way and so it went.

Yes, I put items in the order that I find them in the stores. BUT that
gets totally messed up when stores rearrange. That is just loathsome
from the consumer's perspective, but I can see that one IS forced to
look at items one can normally just ignore.
