A furry feline friend is lifting the list above its head.
The shopping list includes, tin foil, chips, peas/corn, marmite, halloumi and salad.
Notably, no food for cats.
This person is organised in that they have purrpose made note paper for shopping. They have written the list in two sessions with two pens. A top up shop, not a main shop.

I did not know that dogs ate fish.
Cats are famous for liking fish. Cats are also famous for not liking water. The question therefore is how, pre-domestication, did cats come across their fishy feasts to develop such a taste?
Pleasant little list on half a sheet of ruled A5 paper. A clear hand with some essentials. Interesting that there is a ‘big yog’ and ‘yog’. I am not sure what ‘Red On’ is, or Keiti.
I am not sure what Keiti is, will it be this? Maybe I am reading the word incorrectly. Could it be Keith?

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!

Predominately non food items. Of the 3 items which are edible, it is unusual to see gum on a shopping list.
After sun speaks to warm weather or a holiday.
Jammy Dodgers are sandwiched biscuits with a sugary red jammy goo exposed in a heart shape.

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.

A4 Lined, spiral bound, folded. Black biro.
A short list of items, maybe somebody planning a barbecue for Saturday. They need fire lighters and ‘lighter long. Maybe this is long matches or an actual long lighter.
Speculating, they needs rolls for sausages and burgers and maybe a salad to go with it.
Cake for afterwards.

A5 spiral bound shopping list, lined, blue biro. Later addition of weedkiller in a black pen. A pen that was reluctant to work.
Shloer is a non alcoholic grape juice available in red, white or rosé.
Lidl, Reading, UK, June 2022
Lovely red pen on a plain piece of paper makes this list stand out from the crowd.
Not a major shop but rather a few required items. It looks like lasagne and salad was on the menu. Some fruit is listed and also shower gel.

A top up list of a few items. Written on a torn piece of note paper with fashionable rounded corners.

A small top up shop written on the back of an envelope. I am surmising that Moz is mozzarella.
I wonder if squash is the soft drink or the vegetable.
