Good progress! Keep them coming.

I think this image looks the most like an actual supermarket shelf: Different products, different packaging formats, and different sizes.

B.t.w., don't worry for product names and textures right now: You can always modify those - what really matters is to create stocks of products that don't look like a factory store!

You should focus on making your shelved products look as individual as possible, and not like a row of 20.000 boxes the same size, as it was in the beginning.

You have a smartphone I suppose?

Visit your local supermarket tomorrow and take photos of the shelves.

There's nothing better than having actual photos as prototypes! I use this method all the time, and it's extremely helpful, because the photos show you how the RealWorld (tm) actually looks, and not like you think it looks like.

(a problem frequently encountered in 3D models - They think it should look like what they're modeling, but actually: it isn't!)

<EDIT Also remember that people won' buy a whole collage of the same product (except for toilet paper at these times ;D ), but rather buy a single package! If you could add this as an extra (e.g. via geometry swapping), it would add just that bit of realism that the 100-items-bundles look still lacks.
