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
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
Very nice neat handwriting here, lots of items fitted on a folded A5 spiral bound piece of paper.
Likely a mother of children at school age, with pets. Mouse treats, “kid’s” crisps/snacks, cookie dough, lollies.
Meat captured in a separate area of the list in large parenthesis. Chicken, prawns, muscles, bacon, ribs, sausages.
Orzo pasta suggests a cook in the house.
Sainsbury’s, Reading, UK, 2nd June 2022
Normal list, tea, milk, washing up liquid, salad, fruit, sauce…. but wait a second, what are coatings?
I like the flair on the dot on the i in liquid. And I like the apostrophe in the abbreviation of washing to ‘w’.
Sandwich bags are bags for sandwiches. I did not know about these.
Interesting person. Good work.
Aldi Reading – 8th June 2017
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?

Firstly, what great writing.
This list, I presume is for two people, maybe code named D and W? There is some mixture of upper and lower case writing and the common grocer’s apostrophe.
Crisps, beer, wine, D|ginger, bread, D|W|Tablets, oxo’s, chicken oxo’s, washing liquid, fruit, veg, curry sauce, rice.
In answer to the question, what is Oxo:
Found Sainsbury’s, Calcot, Reading

Fairy liquid, wipes, kitchen roll.
Short and sweet shopping list, just a few items for the house.
Found Aldi, Reading.

White bread, apples, bananas, cakes – melodas?, colour washing liquid, kitchen towel, washing up liquid, tissues.
Unknown location and date however the rear contains the itinerary for a cruise around South America.
