033 - Micro Meals and Sunday Lunch

There's a few good ones on here. I'm not sure what Astrel Cream is. It sounds like either something for haemorrhoids, or milk produce destined for outer space. I'm a particular fan of the presence of Micro Meals and Sunday Lunch being next to eat other. Is this shopper wanting a ready-meal Sunday Lunch to pop in the microwave, or are they both an expert in the kitchen to be able to prepare Sunday lunch, but also a lazy arse who microwaves stuff the rest of the week?

032 - Nappy Wrapper

Not only a meal planner (see the bottom of the list), this shopper is also frantic. Disorganised scribble is the order of the day on this list, and the presence of an underlined "nappy wrapper" in a different coloured pen to the rest would suggest that a crisis has just emerged. Quite literally...

031 - Sauerkraut!

Wow! Someone is actually planning to make Sauerkraut! They must stink! It's quite sweet that they felt the need to put the recipe on the list.

030 - "NUTS"


Another well-arranged list, by category. I can only presume that the titles of the sections are: "fruit and veg", "toilettries", "household", "frozen" and "crap". The latter I deduce as it features popcorn, cordial and "NUTS". Why nuts deserve inverted commas and capital letters, I'm not sure.

029 - Krispy Kreme Galore

Wow! Here's a list to beat all others: a shopping list specifically for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! A store has just opened up the road, and this list was found on the opening day. What's so brilliant about this list (other than it featuring practically all their flavours) is that they have increased "Chocolate Iced Kreme" from 2 items to 3 using green felt tip pen. Now, THAT is special.

028 - Meal Planner

Now, I don't know about you, but I never know what I fancy eating for dinner until I'm starting to get it ready, let alone what I'm going to eat tomorrow. This person is scarily efficient, planning up a week's worth of shopping to fit in with their week's meals. Perhaps they're just amazingly logical - a good skill in an "Information Technology Enabler" as the headed notepaper would suggest. Enabler, though? Does that mean they turn it on?

027 - I Love You Morgy

This is one confused shopper. They begin by trying to list their items using commas, then get confused and revert to a normal list - but with commas at the end of each line. Perhaps, though, they are just being a bit dappy because they love "Morgy". Parents who call their children names like that need a stern talking to. I mean, what kind of a name is Morgy? Still, at least I now know the name of one of the shoppers in my collection. Morgy. There! It's growing on me now. Morgy. A nice name.

026 - Multiple Thank Yous

This shopper is evidently needing to say thank you to lots of people - as signified by the plural "cards" they are buying. I've been rackign my brain to work out how the other items on the list are connected to whatever they're saying thank you for, but I'm baffled. Answers on a postcard...

025 - Lots o' Dots

Short and sweet, but what the hell is with those bullet points? It's not a bloody PowerPoint presentation.

024 - Gotta Keep Clean

Here's a person who loves to keep clean - they like their house to be clean (there's 10 separate items that I would deem to aid household cleanliness) as well as themselves: deodorant and toilet rolls. In addition to this, the conscientious shopper wrote their list on the back of an old envelope to save on rubbish (Mark emailed to suggest it's the back of a Lloyds TSB statement envelope). They didn't dispose of the list properly though, did they? No! They left it in the trolley, like a careless and lazy person. Cor, it's lucky I found it!
