Found on the ground outside the waiting room at Reading Station.

Butter?
The list has been walked on as has the indication of sole prints upon it. The person is buying no meat or carbohydrates. Spelling not perfect.
A top up shop. Likely from a town centre shop rather than a supermarket.
Hmm, what do I need:
Right, let’s go shopping.
Here’s a good one. The front of the list is great, strange use of ‘z’ for plurals and a few unknowns but it is the back of the list that stands out – scroll down!
How nice. I hope Mum was happy with the replacement and the kind note.

She wrote Maris Piper, he was confused or thought she was too pernickety and appended ‘spuds’? Different hand?
What else is happening here? A roast? A pickling session? Making chutney?
Maris piper spuds, veg, cauliflower cheese, vinegar, smoked streaky bacon, bag sugar, Yorkshires.

I guess this person works for Knight Frank or they are buying or selling a house with them.
Cat owner. What is Nub?
Rice krispies, shreddies, cat food x 2, coffee 37 x 3, veg, yoghurt, lacto free (not sure what), nub, bananas and kiwis, bread.
Found by Angela, Waitrose, Basingstoke.
Date unsure.
The one thing that is essential, and should be put on the list first, is a sieving spoon. Second priority is some executive food for the dog. Once everything has been purchased, Hello magazine and a lottery ticket should be bought.
There are a few items here which are unclear. Any help is appreciated.
Sieving spoon, dog paté, dog mince, cheese, yoghurts, veg all, T bags, lemonade, cereal bars, ?, gress?, tomatoes, potatoes, frozen mixed veg, frozen fish, bread, Hello, lottery.

Three cucumbers! Nobody buys three cucumbers! Maybe this hard working mum is also catering for the local cricket club and making sandwiches for the home and away teams. That may explain why 3 loaves of bread and 9 bottles of squash are required. Actually the cricket season has finished here so there must be something else going on.
Lots of fruit and veg which is good to see but also lots of kiddie friendly meat products, chicken fingers, hot dog sausages, burgers and of course who could ignore the turkey jetti:
Lettuce, tomatoes, veg, mushrooms, apples, peppers, spring onions, cucumber x 3, bread x 3, squash x 9, noodles, chili sauce, paste, peas, gravy, hot dog sausages, milk, chick ham, butter, yoghurt, nappies, washing up liquid, crisps, water x 2, kids cartons, biscuits, crackers, deorant, shampoo, buble bath, burgers (kids), chick fingers, turkey jetti, belly pork, mince, roast meat, 4 meals.

Nice list with the basics. Some points of interest however, Dolly Bics? Is Dolly a dog do we think? These are underlined so important.
Also, is the last line trainers? Maybe not as these would be a strange purchase at Morrisons.
Eggs, milk, fish, toms, veg, quiche, jacket pot, batter mix, W U Liq, Dolly Bics, Trainers?
