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.

A5 Lined note paper with blue biro. Consistent use of the grocer’s apostrophe.
A grocer’s apostrophe is a spelling mistake caused by placing an apostrophe before the s of a plural word. In English, the plural form of a word is most commonly shown by adding an s to the end (e.g., “cats,” “bananas,” “pictures”). Don’t add your own apostrophe!

This shopping list has been clearly titled ‘List’. It has then been added to over several sessions.
There are many items of interest:
I would assume that this happy shopper has an interesting life.
Walmart Neighborhood Market, La Mesa, California, USA
Lovely dotty ‘Donut Forget‘ note paper for making lists. It is good to see some purpose made paper used. And with a foody theme.
Cat owner
This person needs Polident denture cleaner for ‘our night’. Fancy. Something to look forward to.
Strange mix of capitalisation with CRackers.
Other items include crackers, large storage bags and eggs. A good quality shopping list here.

Coal bucket and coal are required for a good Dickensian Christmas around at the Cratchit’s this year. Tiny Tim is having hash browns and sausage meat for his dinner.

A vintage list from 7 years ago. A deceptively large shopping list as there are multiple items on each line.
This shopper has planned their menu for the next week with, for example, gammon and squares(?) on Thursday. It looks like Saturday night may have been a night out!
Dog owner.

A substantial shopping list. Torn paper, black biro.
This person has taken the trouble to enumerate their items:
The bottom right of the list makes for an interesting read, sliced chicken, sliced ham, frozen chicken, dog.

Fantastic hand writing on this shopping list.
Ingredients for a chilli con carne perhaps, or at least something of that type. Mince beef, onions, kidney beans, tortilla wraps.
Kidney beans appear twice but are crossed off. Brown sugar is also crossed off. Not required?
Is the small bar of dark chocolate to be added to the cooking, or is it to be had after the meal.
Some writing on the right of the list might be in the same hand, if it is, it was written on an unsteady surface.
A welcome contribution from Brighton, UK.

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?
Fab Con 🙂

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.
