Scotland Wagamama

This shopping list has kindly be donated from contributor in Livingston, Scotland.

She says she found it whilst walking her dog – nowhere near a shop. The list has normal items with a good amount of fruit and veg. Burgers and rolls, lettuce, tinned tomatoes, yoghurt…

On the rear of the shopping lists is a meal planner for 5 days. Sure enough, there are the burgers again. The kidney beans mentioned on the front side no doubt find a home with the chilli and rice. I can’t read the 2nd or 3rd item.

Wagamama’s could be a night out or could be a branded item from the supermarket. For example Morrisons sell Wagamama’s meal kits and ingredients like this.

Maybe the contributor could help decipher items 2 and 3 above???

Reverse Advent

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.

Thanks LadyMissB20

LadyMissB20 has kindly found and shared the below list.  This is one of two to be published.

She says, “I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw my first list but to find a second so soon after was amazing! I saw it folded up and picked it up and took it away without even looking at it, as the security guard was already looking at me oddly for the time I was taking at the self-service checkout!”

The coke, crisps, and bag of ice suggests items for a party, maybe a children’s party. The Dairy milk could be part of that too. 

Pineapple and 2 lots of macaroni don’t fit in to the party theme, although the pineapple could be used a la 1970’s with chunks of pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks and stuck into an orange!

LadyMissB20 List Number 2


 Our kind contributor says:

“items are mackerel, salad leaves, tomatoes, mini mozzarella, peppers, mushrooms, pine nuts. List has been written on a small post it note. Maybe a last minute list before leaving work to get items on way home but the writing is quite neat.

This suggests to me someone who is trying to eat healthily.
Looks like a one meal shop.They are probably going to have a salad with mackerel, sun dried tomatoes, peppers, the mini mozzarella and possibly the pine nuts. I wouldn’t personally put mushrooms in a salad, but others might.
