Here's how my Shopping is set up.

In the Planning list, I have a folder: Shopping. Inside it I have a bucket, and "Projects" for big stores far away (Ikea, etc. I put Project in quotes since this isn't a real project with goal — I do feel I need a separate, ongoing list for each of these places. I suppose I could do this in a context set as well).

I use the following Contexts:

Errands: northwest
northeast
south
east
south
Online

The directions are for the different directions the stores that I shop in are ... the roads are such that I can't mix northwest and northeast shopping, etc. Once I get printing on file cards set up, I may add another level of Contexts for each store on my routes, so my printed out lists get sorted by store.

Not done yet — creating a Shopping List Perspective that prints to a 3x5 card, so all I have to do before heading out is open that Perspective, choose my route, and print. [I just ordered a printer with 2 paper trays, so I can keep index cards loaded all the time.]
