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.
From Sainsbury’s in Alton.
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.
Morrisons, Reading, December 2022
To aid reading whilst dashing through the supermarket, this happy shopper has organised their list into columns. All the staples are here for a large weekly shop.
This person is organised as they have their columns but they also take a pen with them to check items off as they go.
Morrisons, Reading, December 2022
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
Standard list of staples. Bread, milk, butter, cheese etc. interesting the items are grouped into categories. Biscuits appear twice.
Ruled paper has rounded corners on the left hand side and slight tear marks on the right, suggesting it has been torn from a note book.

Some people, instead of using a simple dot above the Latin letters i and j, use full blown circles. The owner of this list was one of those people.
Did you know, this tiny, little superscript dot has a name? It is called a tittle.

The tittle on milk is nearly a heart. The tittles on high juice are just the start of circles. The tittles on Pinot Grigio are more fully formed. The tittle on veggie burgers is an ambitious galaxy of a swirl.

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
It is the weekend of Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum Jubilee in the U.K. (June 2022). It is a glorious warm weekend. The Queen has not been feeling too well but took the trouble to make a couple of very welcome appearances to the cheering crowds.
The Friday mentioned on the list is the 2nd June 2022. This person is celebrating by buying:
For other days they need, milk, mushrooms, two types of chocolate with numbers, shortbread and something called ‘gold lustre spray’. I presume gold lustre spray is this, used for add edible gold for cake decorations and other edible delights.
Sainsbury’s, Reading.
2nd June 2022
A tiny piece of note paper, spiral bound. Blue biro.
Fags, lighters flowers, milk, bread, eggs, corned beef, cheese biscs, mints, cakes and Sun Newspaper. I think the work Newspaper is likely redundant.
Aldi, Reading.

Found with its counterpart ‘custard pots’ at Morrisons in Bridport, U.K., this list is in the same hand, on the back of a betting slip but intertwined with a Waitrose receipt for items listed.
Some items are duplicated from the first list but also included are two tins of baked beans, Kellogg’s Fruit and Fibre and some ‘ready baked’ potatoes.
