Two things I have noticed.
1. When I leave the list at home before a long drive to shop, the really important items have to be recalled. This favors short lists in general. Seriously, for most personal tasks, if your list is longer than say, 6 important items, you are overloading both your workload and memory. My opinion.
2. Last night, I noticed that my shopping list disappeared "somewhere" in my trip, despite the fact that I tied a pen to the little notebook with a cord.
Age creeping in? Not really. The damn thing(s) had fallen (as usual) between the car seat and the console, as I discovered after unloading groceries. I am making plans to stuff that space with some foam or bubble wrap to prevent this most noxious (and knuckle-scraping) failure mode.
This has been a problem for how long? 120 years?
Sometimes, I take a phone photo of the list.
I only left the phone home once, but was close enough to home to go get it. Usually there's a bluetooth indicator on the now-ancient 2018 infotainment display.
> Better lists, fewer impulsive decisions
Not really, at least for me. "-)
Generally, psychology doesn't work for me. My daughter has an Honors Psychology degree, and I am advising her to tell me the opposite of what she suggests, in honor of my cantankerous and contrarian nature.

Just store the list on your phone? It's better ux too. Unlike with pen and paper, you can check off items with a tap and rearrange them arbitrarily.

(It's a small phone and perfectly fits a very old camera case that holds some adapters in a pocket)
Any more than to pay. The advantage to paying with the phone is that through regular but not constant use, I am very unlikely to misplace it.
As noted, I sometimes do both. I think that my old shopping app fell by the wayside (as apps sometimes do) and I never replaced it.
