Ruled white paper and a black ball point pen. The list has been ripped or cut down to a small rectangle and the corners folded over to make a lozenge shape.
The writing is heavily italicised, and maybe in an older hand.
5 items are required from the ‘store’. All staples I would say. 4 of which could be considered breakfast items. Not the tacos. I wonder what was to go in the tacos.

Found in Waitrose, UK, this shopping list is bulleted with little circles prefixing each item. Blue pen on a back of an envelope.
Some interesting things here, not sure what the second item is, ‘Quealo’? Or the penultimate item, ‘Pilos’.
I had to Google, but Ñoqui is the Spanish spelling on the Italian Gnocchi. Very good.

This is the first list on www.theshoppinglists.com from the United States. Woo!
The list was very kindly donated by Rockie from Portland, Oregan. My guess is that this is a top up shop rather than a large weekly visit. Items on the menu for the next couple of days could include a salad with lettuce, cucumber? Maybe some Mexican food with the rice, beans and salsa and bagels with cream cheese for lunch?
I had never heard of Mr Stubbs and his BBQ sauce before so here is more info for those who are interested: http://www.stubbsbbq.com/
Apparently, “This is the real deal, the original. And its tangy tomato, vinegar, molasses and black pepper are gonna treat you right.”
Rockie has great handwriting but in case you need help making it out, the items are:
Salad, Olive Oil, Dish soap, Potatoes, Bread, Peanut Butter, Bagels / Cheese, Lettuce, Doritos, Rice, Beans, Salsa, Lunch Meat, Carrots, Cucumber, Mr Stubbs BBQ
The food was purchased from Fred Meyer here https://www.fredmeyer.com/stores/details/701/00040
