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

Breathrite or BreathRight

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

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.

Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs List

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

This shopping list has been clearly titled ‘List’. It has then been added to over several sessions.

There are many items of interest:

  • Glasses – not a typical shopping list item
  • Koign Cheese dressing – maybe Kouign
  • Nathan Hot Dogs – which may be Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs – https://nathansfamous.com/
  • Putting sail??? Is this person planning a voyage after the visit to the shops?
  • F,5 suplay ticket?
  • Food 4 less gift card

I would assume that this happy shopper has an interesting life.

Fish for Dogs

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

I did not know that dogs ate fish.

Cats are famous for liking fish. Cats are also famous for not liking water. The question therefore is how, pre-domestication, did cats come across their fishy feasts to develop such a taste?

Pleasant little list on half a sheet of ruled A5 paper. A clear hand with some essentials. Interesting that there is a ‘big yog’ and ‘yog’. I am not sure what ‘Red On’ is, or Keiti.

I am not sure what Keiti is, will it be this? Maybe I am reading the word incorrectly. Could it be Keith?

Matches and Soda Crystals

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

A donation to the shopping list archive from Oxfordshire in the UK. This list is likely from an older person.

Clues:

  • Sherry
  • Tinned food
  • Evaporated milk

This person owns a cat, has use for matches (open fire, smoker, gas hob?) and sometimes suffers from indigestion. Coffee was an after thought on the list and written in a different pen.

Soda crystals are used for cleaning.

Polident For ‘Our Night’

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Lovely dotty ‘Donut Forget‘ note paper for making lists. It is good to see some purpose made paper used. And with a foody theme.

Cat owner

This person needs Polident denture cleaner for ‘our night’. Fancy. Something to look forward to.

Strange mix of capitalisation with CRackers.

Other items include crackers, large storage bags and eggs. A good quality shopping list here.
