Cranberry Sauce
Black biro on lined paper ripped from a spiral bound note pad.
A standard list with regular items, milk, eggs, bread etc. A nod to the season though, with the addition of cranberry sauce.
All items ticked, apart from the last.

Merry Christmas 2021
Merry Christmas shopping list viewers.
What a great seasonal shopping list. Lots of great sweet additions for the Christmas menu.
What do the dots mean?
Aldi, Reading, December 2021
Cereal Offender
A family of four with a toddler and a cat demand a lot of shopping.
This list looks to be shopping for a week with main meals consisting of sausages, fish cakes, mince and chicken served with sweet corn and chips and potato waffles.
Desserts include muffins, crumpets, cakes, yoghurts, custard and cereal bars.
Snacks encompass a number of types of crisps together with chocolates, Jaffa cakes, raisins and Baby Bels.
Breakfast will be well catered for with a number of types of cereal. These are Krave (HN), cinnamon, HN Clusters and something abbreviated to BG. I am not sure what BG is but I am guessing the HN stands for Honey Nut. This is quite an array of sweet choices.
Location and date found not recorded.
Salad Onions
Good to see some consistent capitalisation on a shopping list.
Pencil on note paper.
Bread, Eggs, Jacket pots, Cucumber, Peppers and Salad onions.
Morrison’s, Bridport, August 2021
Red List
Lovely red pen on a plain piece of paper makes this list stand out from the crowd.
Not a major shop but rather a few required items. It looks like lasagne and salad was on the menu. Some fruit is listed and also shower gel.
Lidl, Chard, 8th August 2021
Little Toms
A top up list of a few items. Written on a torn piece of note paper with fashionable rounded corners.
Aldi 8th June 2017
Garlic B
A small list on a post-it note. Written in pencil.
Ten items. I can’t decipher what looks to be Wash T cels and Teele.
Otherwise there is onion, tomatoes, garlic bread, foil, disinfectant, rolls, crisps and bread.
Lidl, Bridport, 7th August 2021
Too Much to Analyse
A list written by one person, to be used by another.
What a great piece of work this is. What do the numbers mean?
Sainsbury’s, Reading 10th October 2019
Crumpets and Moz
A small top up shop written on the back of an envelope. I am surmising that Moz is mozzarella.
I wonder if squash is the soft drink or the vegetable.
Found April 2017, Reading, U.K.
