Written on a torn off rectangle from an insurance company letter, there is some small print on the reverse.
I am not sure what the horizontal line represents here. It is not likely to be different shops or days.
Morrisons, Bridport, 23th July 2022
Interesting to see a centre justified list. Items are bunched around a mostly invisible centrally vertical dividing line. Although in some cases, Ham | Chicken are visibly separated with a vertical bar.
A5, lined and spiral bound paper.
Dog and cat owner, smoker?
Doritos are listed as well as tortilla chips. Hmm.
On the back of the list is a date “Wed 22nd, 2:30pm”.
Sainsbury’s Reading, UK, June 2nd 2022
Very nice neat handwriting here, lots of items fitted on a folded A5 spiral bound piece of paper.
Likely a mother of children at school age, with pets. Mouse treats, “kid’s” crisps/snacks, cookie dough, lollies.
Meat captured in a separate area of the list in large parenthesis. Chicken, prawns, muscles, bacon, ribs, sausages.
Orzo pasta suggests a cook in the house.

White paper, 145mm x 100mm, cut with scissors. Staple torn from upper left indicates that this sheet was once not alone.
This person has a sweet tooth. Items include Choc Dig (what is dig?), custard cream biscuits, cake and ice cream.
After all the sweetness, this shopper was planning the main meal. Diced beef has been crossed out and replaced by chicken thighs, to be served maybe as a stew with vegetables and mashed potato.
Lidl, Reading, UK. 2nd June 2022
Written on the back of a BetFred betting slip, blank. Black biro. Odd mix of capital and lower case letters. Six items for a small top up shop. Dairy heavy, no fruit or veg.
Morrisons, Bridport. 29th May 2022
Apples, oranges, milk, large wholewheat loaf, chicken for Billie, hay fever med, cereal, burek pinks???
A small square of unlined note paper with a disproportionately large hole punched through the top left corner.

A family of four with a toddler and a cat demand a lot of shopping.
This list looks to be shopping for a week with main meals consisting of sausages, fish cakes, mince and chicken served with sweet corn and chips and potato waffles.
Desserts include muffins, crumpets, cakes, yoghurts, custard and cereal bars.
Snacks encompass a number of types of crisps together with chocolates, Jaffa cakes, raisins and Baby Bels.
Breakfast will be well catered for with a number of types of cereal. These are Krave (HN), cinnamon, HN Clusters and something abbreviated to BG. I am not sure what BG is but I am guessing the HN stands for Honey Nut. This is quite an array of sweet choices.
Location and date found not recorded.
A small top up shop written on the back of an envelope. I am surmising that Moz is mozzarella.
I wonder if squash is the soft drink or the vegetable.
Found April 2017, Reading, U.K.
This appears to be shopping for two people in two hands with two pens.
They are working age dog and cat owners with no children.
On P’s side of the list we have chicken, weetabix, French fries, custard creams, cokes and tissues. On G’s side we have duck in plum, chick/mushrooms, cold puds (eclair), trifle, lattes, cookies and chocs.
Some items have been crossed off, some have been circled. Some items in capitals and some in lower case. Notice the change of pen between hand wash and pads/pants.
Sainsbury’s, Reading. 3rd August 2021
This is a man’s list alright!
Beer, battered chicken, 2 meat feast pizzas, baked beans, cheese, toilet roll and one tomato.
