I forget what I went to the store for so I browse every aisle until I see something that makes me remember it (usually the thing itself).
I can either go to the groceries after some specific items, when I'll run erratically through every aisle until I find them all, or to "do groceries", when I'll run methodically through every isle browsing each product and deciding if I want it or not.
Or, and hear me out, make a list.
My wife shops like you, and it drives me fucking nuts.
I make a list organized by type of food. Bread and pasta are often close to each other in stores. Canned fruits are all in the same aisle. Produce is all together. What ever we need from each section is organized. I can buy food for both of us for a week in 45 minutes, and that includes waiting in the line.
My wife has the compulsion to look at everything, regardless of the list we made. She also has ADHD and time blindness, and will not acknowledge that we cannot go to 5 different stores and shop her way at each one, and go home and make dinner, and play a game together, and do chores. I love her to death but sometimes it can be exhausting.
Thanks, but I think I'll pass that one.
My 2-months grocery runs take about 45 minutes, excluding the line, but I imagine it's a larger run than yours. Outside of that, I never reach 10 minutes looking for things.
My wife used to make lists, but they were never useful.
I sometimes (okay, sometimes more than sometimes) forget something, try to remember it harder the next day, focus so much on not to forget it again that I forget something else. Or I remember every, but in the wrongest possible order so that I'm running through the store like a headless chicken and utterly stressed out.
