Bags/Smell

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

A torn piece of white paper hosts this shopping list written in pink pen. Notable items include bags that smell? Are these scented bin liners or some other smell related bags?

The owner of the list is also in the market for foxes. I would assume this refers to the brand who makes biscuits and confectionary, rather than orange quadrupeds.

Other more typical items includes eggs, cheese, milk and sausages.

There is a heavily underlined reference to CopperAndGreen.com who make and sell copper plant pots and copper garden planters.

Also what looks like it could be a password: PieCrust17!

Shopping List from Dudley

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

This list was very kindly donated by Matt from Dudley.

Firstly, pink pen and beautiful cursive script is not a common occurrence in the world of shopping lists. A colourful and welcome addition.

Secondly, the reader of the post on tittles will notice the circle above the first letter i. Circles are replaced by dots further down.

On apostrophes, there is ‘Choc’s’ and ‘Dogs Food’.

Other items include some staples including crisps, gravy, biscuits, cheese and jam. What is slightly unexpected are the ‘bum wipes’ and two types of shampoo.

What a great list. Thank you Matt!

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.

Reverse Advent

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

This list is from Livingstone in Scotland where it was used for a reverse advent calendar.

To explain what a reverse advent calendar is:

Firstly you need to grab a basket or box, and every day leading up to Christmas, add something useful to the box.

The idea is that you add 24 items just like an advent calendar.

Then you can donate it to a food bank, a family in need or your church.

A reverse advent calendar is perfect to do as a group too. You can put the box in your classroom, workplace or do it as a larger family group and take turns at adding to it. – https://www.muminthemadhouse.com/reverse-advent-calendar/

Please take some time to see if there is a similar scheme running locally to you at this time of the year, or make a cash donation to your local food bank if you can.

Victoria Biscuit Selection

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Baby Pot, swede, butter, cherry tom, sweetheart, broc rice, royals x 4 and of course, mange.

Vegetarian menu, two types of potatoes.

This list is written on the reverse of a label. A price label from a supermarket shelf. Did the person find the label at the supermarket and write the list there. Or did they get the label on a previous trip, take it home and write the list? Or maybe, they work at a super market, take these labels home in bulk and use them for general notes and list making.

The label is for this fine product, McVities Victoria Biscuit Selection – “Turn any occasion into a celebration”. You can buy them here:

W’ U Liquid

Posted on by TheShoppingLists.com

Normal list, tea, milk, washing up liquid, salad, fruit, sauce….  but wait a second, what are coatings?

I like the flair on the dot on the i in liquid.  And I like the apostrophe in the abbreviation of washing to ‘w’.

Sandwich bags are bags for sandwiches. I did not know about these.

Interesting person.  Good work.
