Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

It is the weekend of Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum Jubilee in the U.K. (June 2022). It is a glorious warm weekend. The Queen has not been feeling too well but took the trouble to make a couple of very welcome appearances to the cheering crowds.

The Friday mentioned on the list is the 2nd June 2022. This person is celebrating by buying:

  • Lunch
  • Nibbles
  • Drinks
  • Water

For other days they need, milk, mushrooms, two types of chocolate with numbers, shortbread and something called ‘gold lustre spray’. I presume gold lustre spray is this, used for add edible gold for cake decorations and other edible delights.

Rooibos

A gratefully received contribution.

A5 spiral bound note paper, black pen, likely biro. Price comparison of Mini Chedders in the bottom left.

A well rounded list with a mixture of meat, veg, fish and dairy.

What are 44s?

P.S. having never heard of Rooibos, the next day I saw this on the side of a van. I wonder if it the same.

A one meal shopping list. Not sure what Anfi P is?

Fags – Flowers

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

A tiny piece of note paper, spiral bound. Blue biro.

Fags, lighters flowers, milk, bread, eggs, corned beef, cheese biscs, mints, cakes and Sun Newspaper. I think the work Newspaper is likely redundant.

Aldi, Reading.

Custard Pots II

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Found with its counterpart ‘custard pots’ at Morrisons in Bridport, U.K., this list is in the same hand, on the back of a betting slip but intertwined with a Waitrose receipt for items listed.

Some items are duplicated from the first list but also included are two tins of baked beans, Kellogg’s Fruit and Fibre and some ‘ready baked’ potatoes.

Custard Pots

Written on the back of a BetFred betting slip, blank. Black biro. Odd mix of capital and lower case letters. Six items for a small top up shop. Dairy heavy, no fruit or veg.

The Best List Ever?

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

This is possibly the best shopping list ever.

Items are grouped by food type and proximity to each other in the shop. For example, pizza and Magnums, both from the freezer section. Fruit together. Veg together. Why are peas on their own?

An incredibly well thought through work of logistical brilliance, does the actual layout of the food groups map onto the aisles in the supermarket? Maybe not.

This list is in two pens. Is it in two hands or is the blue text the same person but just writing on a soft surface? Are Bill’s meals for somebody called Bill or is it Bill’s the restaurant chain? Josh is maybe a younger person.

Excellent.

Banahaha

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Torn piece of note paper, turned, with blue biro. I am not sure I can read all of these words. My best guess is:

  • Chocolate almond
  • Salt
  • Peanut
  • Callllorole
  • Cashew x 1
  • Orange juice
  • Banahaha

A lot of nuts, or very few is the lack of plurals is to be considered seriously.

Interestingly, this list has two sides. What are we to make of this?

A small square of unlined note paper with a disproportionately large hole punched through the top left corner.

Dog Tins and Sequins

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Written by a confident, care free person, this list has some fascinating items. It looks like there are two shops to be visited, Co-op and Aldi. Bread features heavily, as does the ever popular combo, dog tins and sequins.
