This a combined ‘to do’ list and shopping list. The owner need to do some office work, manage some storage, attend to laundry and then ‘Call for Tas. Rod’?
Shopping items include Milk, Bfast (breakfast), fruit, dinners, water, cr cheese (cream cheese) and a hybrid combination of ginger ale and a Conger Eel.
Small spiral bound note paper, black pen.

A donation to the shopping list archive from Oxfordshire in the UK. This list is likely from an older person.
Clues:
This person owns a cat, has use for matches (open fire, smoker, gas hob?) and sometimes suffers from indigestion. Coffee was an after thought on the list and written in a different pen.
Soda crystals are used for cleaning.
Oxfordshire, 1st Feb 2023
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.

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?
Morrisons, Reading 4th December 2022
A small piece of paper, torn on 3 sides. Maybe belonging to an older hand.
Unusual to see a particular brand of water required.
What is W.U.L? Ah – washing up liquid 🙂
I suppose Bis is biscuits. Ch Burgers are chicken. Marg is margarine.
Lidl, Reading, UK. 2nd June 2022
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 list on A4 lined and punched paper pulled from a pad. Written in biro by two people. The first in capitals, the second amending in what looks to be an older style in lower case.
Ordinary tea suggests that other types of tea are sometimes purchased. Quite a healthy list, no meat, low fat.
Sainsbury’s, Reading 3rd August 2021
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
Normal list, tea, milk, washing up liquid, salad, fruit, sauce…. but wait a second, what are coatings?
I like the flair on the dot on the i in liquid. And I like the apostrophe in the abbreviation of washing to ‘w’.
Sandwich bags are bags for sandwiches. I did not know about these.
Interesting person. Good work.
Aldi Reading – 8th June 2017
A simple list appropriate for the time of year when it is the school Summer holiday but the Autumn term comes inevitably closer.
I would suggest that the owner of this list intended to visit one of the larger super markets which sells clothes, household goods and food. Â Alternatively this was a list for a visit to ‘town’ where multiple shops were to be visited. Â I don’t see many of those lists.
Whoever the owner is, she has a sweet tooth and so do her friends. Â The owner is female.
Interesting curve on the top of the capitalised letter F. Â Normally this is more of a 90 degree angle.
