I'd just make a task
,----[ todo.org ]
| * Miscellaneous
| ** Go Shopping and buy stuff :INTOWN:
| - [ ] Chocolate
`----
and accumulate items in the list until there is enough to warrant a trip
to the store.
I normally have separate tasks (Buy This, and Buy That) which I convert
to a list later as above. It's faster to record the buy something task
in remember than to find the Go Shopping task when I remember something
I need to add to the list. Later when I have time I can consolidate the
separate tasks into the shopping list, print it out and check off the
boxes with a pen when I'm actually in town.
If I'm going to town for something I look at my agenda list for :INTOWN:
tags and deal with whatever I can in a single trip.
