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

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

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

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

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.

This person also wants a pillo. Is this a pillow? Or is it pillo, the Spanish word for rascal?

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
  • Pillo
  • Jam
  • Peanut butter
  • Butter
