I’m not sure what the problem is here, but ‘org-capture’ is preferred
over remember these days; maybe that would work better for you:

,----
| (require 'org-capture)
| (global-set-key (kbd "C-M-z") 'org-capture) ; use any key you like
| (setq org-capture-templates `(("s" "Shopping" checkitem
|                                (file+headline ,(concat org-directory
"notes.org")
|                                               "Shopping List"))))
`----

Take a look at the manual for more.[1] You may need to update your Org
installation and add the ‘contrib’ directory to ‘load-path’ in order
to use ‘org-capture’.

Hope this helps,
