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.
Sainsbury’s, Reading, UK, 2nd June 2022
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
Donated by a generous benefactor, this list has 11 items excluding mysterious line 8 which has been crossed out. I believe it may say ‘ice cre’ but I may be mistaken.
I would suggest the list was written in three sections at different times. Down to Evian is all capitalised, then comes the crossed off item in what looks to be lower case and then there is the third contribution in different pen.
This list is very Summery, you will not see these items listed in a few months time (unless you are in the southern hemisphere).

Now, this is really interesting, not so much for the items but in the way they are presented. Here the list has be segmented into little boxes with what looks like similar items in each box. Does this represent a map of the supermarket aisles or is this how the food is stored at home? Fridge items in one box, household in another etc.
Woo.

Note how Rob gets four of his own yoghurts and Ruth is going to get some chocolates. 12 eggs is rather a lot and what is dog ham?
This is a useful reference on the subject:
