Standard list of staples. Bread, milk, butter, cheese etc. interesting the items are grouped into categories. Biscuits appear twice.
Ruled paper has rounded corners on the left hand side and slight tear marks on the right, suggesting it has been torn from a note book.
Morrisons, Reading, 27th November 2022
Found with its counterpart ‘custard pots’ at Morrisons in Bridport, U.K., this list is in the same hand, on the back of a betting slip but intertwined with a Waitrose receipt for items listed.
Some items are duplicated from the first list but also included are two tins of baked beans, Kellogg’s Fruit and Fibre and some ‘ready baked’ potatoes.

A top up list of a few items. Written on a torn piece of note paper with fashionable rounded corners.
Aldi 8th June 2017
A crossed off list shows somebody who takes a pen to the super market. The paper looks to be ripped from another list.
This shopper was looking for two sizes of milk, a Twix, 4 + baguette, fruit, paper cups, W U bowl, c-cumber, BBQ bread and ‘more meat’.
This looks like a BBQ shopping list? It is the right time of year. And what is the little picture in the corner? Some kind of tent?
Sainsbury’s, Reading, 29th July 2021
Found on the ground outside the waiting room at Reading Station.
The list reads:
Peppers
Parsnips?
Onions
Courgettes?
Broccoli
Milk
V. Parmesan
—-
Butter?
The list has been walked on as has the indication of sole prints upon it. The person is buying no meat or carbohydrates. Spelling not perfect.
A top up shop. Likely from a town centre shop rather than a supermarket.
This person is a crosser-offer, it seems all items were obtained bar the first two.
No vegetables on this shopping list but plenty of fruit.
The usual staples procured, bread, cheese, milk, eggs. Pizza and curry on the menu.
Male or female?
Toilet paper, tomato sauce, curry, milk, potatoes, fruit, bananas, apples, grapes, bread, ham, eggs, sausages, butter, ice creams, pizza, cream cheese, tena 40, kitchen soap, squash.

Gratefully found and contributed by Southampton Old Lady. She does not mention where the list comes from but she says:
Someone is about to do some seasonal cleaning as these are mainly cleaning items: Mr Muscle sink unblocker, Viakal limescale (remover), soap powder, Flash bathroom cleaner, muffins, butter, milk 2pt (2 pint size), toilet rolls, kitchen rolls.
Many thanks!!!
Three cucumbers! Nobody buys three cucumbers! Maybe this hard working mum is also catering for the local cricket club and making sandwiches for the home and away teams. That may explain why 3 loaves of bread and 9 bottles of squash are required. Actually the cricket season has finished here so there must be something else going on.
Lots of fruit and veg which is good to see but also lots of kiddie friendly meat products, chicken fingers, hot dog sausages, burgers and of course who could ignore the turkey jetti:
Lettuce, tomatoes, veg, mushrooms, apples, peppers, spring onions, cucumber x 3, bread x 3, squash x 9, noodles, chili sauce, paste, peas, gravy, hot dog sausages, milk, chick ham, butter, yoghurt, nappies, washing up liquid, crisps, water x 2, kids cartons, biscuits, crackers, deorant, shampoo, buble bath, burgers (kids), chick fingers, turkey jetti, belly pork, mince, roast meat, 4 meals.

Why would you specify that the butter was for Pete and yourself?
Is this person Australian, abbreviating cabbage to ‘cabbo’? Kitchen roll shortened to kroll. Great shopping list.

Bread, milk, butter, cheese, eggs, frubes, Jammie dodgers, oil, pasta, meat balls, crisps, mint jelly, tea bags, pot, carrots etc, strawberries, fairy, softener, persil, dishwasher tabs.
This list was written in at least two sessions with different pens. Good to see the household cleaning product kept separate from the food stuffs.
