Again IMHO, what you may be wanting specific to shopping at (drug) stores is a grocery shopping app.
Otherwise, with regard to a desire for multiple contexts, perhaps you may be setting your focus too narrow on your contexts at the start, rather than realizing that you have a decision filter at the end too. Consider for example whether you set contexts such as "living room", "bathroom", "bed room" ... when you really are better with just "house". Why then set such a specific context as "drug store" verus "grocery store" when you might be better as "store" (or "errands"). You are then looking at ONE CONTEXT (as you desire). Granted, while standing in the drug store looking at "shopping", you will see tasks that may be unrelated to the more specific drug store location where you are. But, by comparision, is this longer list really so hard to filter through mentally, to see for example that "fish sticks" are not in the drug store?
BTW, are you aware of using location settings on tasks on the iPhone or iPad?

As I have come to see it, The GTD Way is either a religion or a tool. The former can lead to endless travels done never-ending paths as to why this or that should instead be this or that. The latter can be a realization that sometimes, we should go looking for a hammer when we have a nail rather than trying to pound in the nail with our handy screwdriver.
