Before COVID I walked the store backwards, Beauty Products, Paper Products, Chips and Cookies, Dairy, Meat, Deli, Cans, Fresh Produce, Tea, Frozen. List on phone was set accordingly. After Covid they made one door an entrance and one an exit so we were forced to do produce first, and rework the way we walked the store. List on phone had to be resorted accordingly, and more careful thought on precise ordering of items in cart. It took a while to get used to the reordering and how to fill the cart, so that unloading onto conveyor order could be maintained. Frozen, Dairy, Pantry, Produce, and Downstairs Pantry order of packing bags had to be kept for sanity. I don't take to change well, I always have to have words when they insist on rearranging items on the shelves.
I have the same issue as you, I loved to go to the last numbered isle first and then do the remainder aisles till produce. I don’t like change too, but, sometimes for fun and not bore myself I just go into the middle aisles and start there and for me...

The one nearest the entrance
Cool...plus it is the most logical one
Wife goes to produce, I go to meats. It is the natural order of things.
Natural order must be maintained

Read moreFresh Produce is the first isle in my Supermarket. Pretty much everyone has to go through it when they get in.
Mine is frozen foods and dairy
Me, if I shop for it and put it away it down to me!!
That’s fair, but seriously you do not deviate from your list at all?
No seriously the list is pretty flexable and everyone gets input before I shop.its just the base and keeping finances in mind that stays the same.
