I used to do a modified form of that, until someone commandeered my cart because it only had one item in it and looked abandoned. She even took my item out and reshelved it randomly.
I disagree about the lists. Individual items often slip my mind.
Over the years I've drawn up a general shopping list that has everything I routinely buy on it.
Because the general list is complete, it helps me remember to check if I'm running low on other items that are easy to overlook, like bathroom stuff.
The general list is sorted in the order the products are encountered in the store, so before I go shopping I read down the general list, jotting down what I need on a scrap. Once I'm in the store the items on the scrap are serialized like stops on a train line. I march through the marketeering like a T-1000 through a fiery crash.
