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!

A back of an envelope shopping list. The hand writing in this one is confident but a bit tricky to understand. Fish swagi? Alop meat?
There are some normal items here, toilet (T) paper, water, milk, beer.
But then Left make up is confusing, as is Fresh pet(?) written vertically.
Walmart Neighborhood Market, La Mesa, California, USA
Speggity is the at the top of the list. Speggity = spaghetti. I would have thought speggety would have been a better phonetic match for spaghetti. Now I have done that thing and said the word so many times, it has become meaningless.
A lovely little shopping list. 10 items written, most likely, by an older hand in a mixture of pen and pencil on a ring bound sheet of note paper.

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.

What is this? Can anybody decipher these numbers?
This shopping list has the hand of maybe an older person.

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.

A shopping list written on what looks like an upside down page taken from a diary. Red biro.
The author has written biscuits and cookies. I presume the differentiation is the biscuits are pre-packaged hard types and the cookies are the larger softer doughy variety.
Also on the menu are milk, cream and cough mixture.

Shopping list in situ on a trolly with built in clip board.
The specification of the kitchen towel brand, ‘Plenty’, is of interest.
This discerning shopper has a select number of items on the list. Maybe sausage and mash on the menu. No fruit or veg today. A top up list.
This shopper had to collect a parcel as the number one priority. Maybe there was a parcel collection point at the super market.
A grateful contribution.
