Beconase

A4, ring bound lined paper hosts this list, written in blue pen.

Items include normal groceries, a fair assumption is that the owner has a dog.

Beconase turns out to be nasal allergy relief spray.

Line spacing suggests that this list was not written in one sitting.

Who is this man?

A small shopping list torn from a newspaper or magazine.

The owner wanted focaccia, cereal, spinach/R and Moit?

The last two items are not clear at all! I wonder what they mean.

Feline Busy

A furry feline friend is lifting the list above its head.

The shopping list includes, tin foil, chips, peas/corn, marmite, halloumi and salad.

Notably, no food for cats.

This person is organised in that they have purrpose made note paper for shopping. They have written the list in two sessions with two pens. A top up shop, not a main shop.

Hob Wok – Eggs 12 – Dog

A substantial shopping list. Torn paper, black biro.

This person has taken the trouble to enumerate their items:

  • Eggs 12
  • 2 Bags of spinach
  • 1 Carrotts
  • 2 Tomotenen?
  • 2 Pkt garfee?
  • Feet blackberries x 2?

The bottom right of the list makes for an interesting read, sliced chicken, sliced ham, frozen chicken, dog.

Christmas Shopping List

A Christmas shopping list.

Vibrant pink paper.

Some seasonal Christmas food here. Parsnips, nuts, ingredients for trifle. Even Xmas is listed as an item.

The list is from Morrisons yet some items have been specified to be sourced from Costco, Salmon and Pepps (peppers?).

This person enjoys an abbreviation, mushs = mushrooms, pots = potatoes, rasps = raspberries.

Big Candle

One of the smaller shopping lists to be found here. Torn top and bottom from note paper designed for lists.

Just 4 items, wine glasses, wrapping paper, Ibuprofen, a big candle. No food. Is one of these items to be wrapped in the wrapping paper?

Feline Busy!

Cat owner. Purrpose made note paper with a feline theme. This person did not paws as they made the list else they would have been late for the shop, a catastrophe. I wish I could have written a list like this, maybe they could show meow.

Mixed capitalisation on this shopping list.

Waffles for break?

Yogs4f?

Torn with Columns

To aid reading whilst dashing through the supermarket, this happy shopper has organised their list into columns. All the staples are here for a large weekly shop.

This person is organised as they have their columns but they also take a pen with them to check items off as they go.

Cheeky Girls

A4 punched and lined paper, folded in half. Vegetarian list which raises a few questions.

Is this person going to buy aloe veras as in multiple plants of that kind or is this something else? Why are they under the section marked green veg (the same could be asked of fruits).

What is defended juice? Could be this https://purearth.co.uk/product/defence-juice-cleanse/

This list has another side to it. On the reverse are names of musical artists. Are these team names, categories, a play list? Further more, do the Cheeky Girls fit into this group?
