Karen, that's a very sensible and useful way to set up your shopping list. I'd not thought of that. How nice it is to share ideas. We are not so fortunate to have assistance to help with actual shopping, staff are few and far between, but they will help with a few items if needed, but not to go around the store with us. I'm way past being able to get around the aisles and find things. Today I brought home carrot soup instead of milk lol. It seems we can now buy soup in cardboard cartons and it's conveniently stored in the dairy section. Well the soup tasted nice anyway, but not in the cup of tea. Regards to you and Met.

I get them and scan them and create a default list on my computer to work off of which shows aisle numbers where things I regularly want would be. Some things I can find myself still- others I ask for help either from shoppers in the aisle or a store employee. I have found there is usually not a shortage of people willing to help Met and I (smile) Winco does not tend to do a lot of moving around of stuff which is really great. Safeway does some but most of what they move is not stuff I have a lot of need for. I do recall a couple years back when they moved stuff and I mean just about everything except the meat and produce- and even the meat department they moved some. I about came out of my skin! There is a really neat worker there that has always tried to help or offered to help me ever since I moved here so I have never had to sit back and get frustrated unless the store is crowded. I generally shop early in the morning when there is not a lot of shoppers also which does help I believe in being able to get appropriate help.
