A Christmas shopping list.
Vibrant pink paper.
Some seasonal Christmas food here. Parsnips, nuts, ingredients for trifle. Even Xmas is listed as an item.
The list is from Morrisons yet some items have been specified to be sourced from Costco, Salmon and Pepps (peppers?).
This person enjoys an abbreviation, mushs = mushrooms, pots = potatoes, rasps = raspberries.
Morrisons, December 2022
Interesting to see a centre justified list. Items are bunched around a mostly invisible centrally vertical dividing line. Although in some cases, Ham | Chicken are visibly separated with a vertical bar.
A5, lined and spiral bound paper.
Dog and cat owner, smoker?
Doritos are listed as well as tortilla chips. Hmm.
On the back of the list is a date “Wed 22nd, 2:30pm”.
Sainsbury’s Reading, UK, June 2nd 2022
Torn piece of note paper, turned, with blue biro. I am not sure I can read all of these words. My best guess is:
A lot of nuts, or very few is the lack of plurals is to be considered seriously.
Interestingly, this list has two sides. What are we to make of this?
Sainsbury’s, Reading, 18th May 2022
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
This is all perfectly clear, the list reads: Soup, fogultunt?, cereal, pomegranate, bhasumiss?, rocket, rinpoos?, kitchen roll, cats, boats?, crisps/nuts.
They say that the most intelligent have hard to read hand writing, for example doctors, and indeed Einstein:

Glu cos?, milk, potatoes, butter x 3, eggs, meat, greens, ham, 1 pk b/beans, crisps, nuts, bacon, cuscus, unsure. [sic]
The purchased items have been diligently crossed off. It is a shame there were no nuts. And also no sign of Glu cos?
Found Aldi, Reading.
