Every shift starts with a pile of groceries dumped where they don't belong, and your job is to send each one home. A loose apple goes to Fresh Produce, a carton of milk heads to the chilled aisle, and a bottle of detergent belongs nowhere near either. Knowing the matching aisle on sight is what turns a slow, hunt-and-peck run into a quick clean sweep.

Sorting in Clean the Supermarket is one decision repeated fast: pick up an item, read what it is, and send it to its aisle. The shelves are colour-coded, so once you link an item to its aisle you also know the colour to aim for, and your eyes can find the spot before your character even gets there.
The quickest way to speed up is to learn items by their group rather than one at a time. Anything you'd keep in a fridge at home lands in Dairy & Chilled, anything from a freezer goes to Frozen, and cleaning or paper goods belong in Household. Snacks and Drinks trip people up the most because both feel like "food" in a hurry, so it helps to picture a vending machine: a fizzy can is a Drink, a bag of chips is a Snack.
A few items look like neighbours but live in different aisles. Fresh Fish sits in Meat & Seafood, while a boxed Frozen Fish belongs in Frozen. Bread and other baked goods go to Bakery, not Pantry, even though they share a shelf at home. When two items feel close, lean on the colour cue for the aisle you're aiming at and you'll stop second-guessing mid-run.
A clean route beats raw speed. Carry a handful of items headed for nearby aisles, drop them in one pass, then circle back for the next cluster instead of crossing the whole store for a single can. The fewer empty trips you make, the faster the floor clears.
FAQ
How do I know which aisle an item goes in?
Picture where you'd keep it at home. Cold items go to Dairy & Chilled, freezer items to Frozen, cleaning and paper goods to Household, and dry staples to Pantry. Matching that instinct to the aisle is most of the game.
What's the difference between Snacks and Drinks?
If you'd drink it, like soda, water, or coffee, it goes to Drinks. If you'd munch it, like chips or candy, it goes to Snacks. The two aisles use different shelf colours, so once you're sure which it is the spot is easy to find.
Why is fish in two places?
Fresh Fish belongs in Meat & Seafood, but a boxed Frozen Fish goes to Frozen. The same goes for other items that come both fresh and frozen, so check whether the item is the freezer version before you sort it.
What are the shelf colours for?
Each aisle has its own colour so you can aim before you arrive. Once you know an item's aisle, the colour tells your eyes exactly where to drop it, which saves time on every trip.
What's the fastest way to clear a shift?
Grab a few items heading to nearby aisles, drop them in one pass, then loop back for the next group. Cutting empty trips across the store matters more than raw running speed.
