Hair Mousse + NFCU

A short and snappy list.

A torn off piece of note paper from a real estate agent. It looks like Ascent may now be operating under a different name https://www.linkedin.com/company/ascent-real-estate/

Is NFCU:

Navy Federal Credit Union is a global credit union headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, chartered and regulated under the authority of the National Credit Union Administration. Navy Federal is the largest natural member credit union in the United States, both in asset size and in membership.

Raccoon Shopping List

This list has been gratefully received as a donation. There is nothing very exciting about the items listed. Pretty much normal. Bread, eggs…

But wait… look at the other side of the note paper!

Raccoon paper!

I can’t find an exact match but if you are looking for something similar for your shopping lists, you could try here.

Ñoqui = Gnocchi

Found in Waitrose, UK, this shopping list is bulleted with little circles prefixing each item. Blue pen on a back of an envelope.

Some interesting things here, not sure what the second item is, ‘Quealo’? Or the penultimate item, ‘Pilos’.

I had to Google, but Ñoqui is the Spanish spelling on the Italian Gnocchi. Very good.

Grocer’s Apostrophe

A5 Lined note paper with blue biro. Consistent use of the grocer’s apostrophe.

A grocer’s apostrophe is a spelling mistake caused by placing an apostrophe before the s of a plural word. In English, the plural form of a word is most commonly shown by adding an s to the end (e.g., “cats,” “bananas,” “pictures”). Don’t add your own apostrophe!

Not sure what Mary (Nurpac) is.

T Paper

A back of an envelope shopping list. The hand writing in this one is confident but a bit tricky to understand. Fish swagi? Alop meat?

There are some normal items here, toilet (T) paper, water, milk, beer.

But then Left make up is confusing, as is Fresh pet(?) written vertically.

Basic Shopping List

A simple shopping list with 6 lines. Likely a daily shop for items to be used that evening in a planned meal. No meat products.

I presume cooking spray is this.

The paper is of interest as it appears to be non-standard size.

Not Just Any Ready Meal, an M&S Ready Meal

A contribution to theshoppinglists.com from a kind contributor in Oxfordshire, England.

The owner of this list does not look to be much of a cooking type person. They are going to buy meals for Saturday and Sunday, and then a further 4 meals after that. There are not many cooking ingredients listed.

As well as getting their meals from M&S (Marks and Spencer), they are going to pop into Robert Dyas for some ‘tool cleaner’. I wonder what that is.

Speggity

Speggity is the at the top of the list. Speggity = spaghetti. I would have thought speggety would have been a better phonetic match for spaghetti. Now I have done that thing and said the word so many times, it has become meaningless.

A lovely little shopping list. 10 items written, most likely, by an older hand in a mixture of pen and pencil on a ring bound sheet of note paper.

  • Speggity
  • Sugar
  • Trash bags
  • Chips
  • Vitimins
  • Milk
  • Pills
  • Jam
  • Peanut butter
  • Butter

Breathrite or BreathRight

The headline item on this list is Breathrite. Google tells me that this could be either nasal strips like this:

BreathRight for Humans

Or an equine remedy which is “Suitable for horses prone to coughing”.

BreathRite for Horses

This intelligence was gathered with a UK centric view of the internet. Breathrite may be something else in the US where this list was found.

Other items are coffee brav?, ivory Tylenol, dishwasher soap and ‘gentle’ soap.

Ivory Tylenol does not show up on my searches.
