do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

[codnotamod]

i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "
"

boo hoo I must o gone in too early today no lists for me except my own should of left it i suppose for someone else to read.

No. 1
and I've nothing much to say on this one - one a page from one of those little note pads with the hole for the pen in the corner:

Lemons
Bananas
Bacon

even Ainsley would have a job with that lot

oops "on" a page etc

anyway
No. 2

a bit better - old lady handwriting; two columns; each item struck through in pencil as she trolleys it

Tarragon
Cheese
Bacon
Sweet PICCALILLI
Fabric Softener
Marjoram
Peas
Wedges

again, pretty dull - typical old lady stuff

just wait for No. 3, it's the daddy

ooo - just been to Morrisons and found a list. (actually saw it in the trolley 'park' and edged my way round and stuck my fingers through the bars of a trolley half way through to get it )

Written on a A5 piece of notebook paper. Rather 'disorganised' IMO. Mostly in black ink

Here goes. each line is as the line is written on the paper - for you analysing

Morrisons £73 to spend

Satsumas Melon Bananas Apples Grapes
Celery tomatoes cress (I think), cue
Onions, Baking Poatoes, Brocolli

Well I was wondering that cod, but would you find the bread with the dried fruit? Or the coleslaw with the pork chops?

Message withdrawn

sorry, the second column of No. 2 comprised only "Sun" - could be dishwasher powder, or the paper, dunno.

Still typing no. 3, but it's worth the wait

I'm breathless in anticipation, bear

y'all ready for this?

No. 3 and this was on the pavement on the way home from the supermarket (I admit I am worried about how much I'm enjoying my new hobby and am taking legal advice about staving off any potential criminal proceedings)

written on the back of an envelope from an insurance company all in the same handwriting (quite messy) and ticked off in pencil as each item was pouched. From the first few items, I'm guessing it's been pretty dark in their house this week.

60w norm bulbs
60w candle screw LB
40w G Ball LB
Halogen GU10+c 240v 50w (ooh ooh we use them too! and take it from me, that supermarket is not the place to buy them - dirt cheap in BHS lighting section)
Yog Tubes (they've got primary-age ankle biters)
Ch Straws (ditto)
El Bog Roll (are they spanish?)
Jam (what flavour? there are hundreds - don't waste time staring at them all decide before you go out and write it down, woman!)
Apple Sauce
Marmalade
Chedderx2
Ham (no signifier for nice or coked or otherwise)
Wens + Cran (think wensleydale with cranberries but who knows with this off the wall list - this one is NOT done in store order, which I find hard to cope with - if you're doing a list you have to think your way round the store, don't just scribble down a stream of consciousness, that'll mean you have to keep going back to aisles, the whole thing will take longer and five'll get you ten that you'll forget something)
Salsa * (no idea why the asterisk, but it's there)
Soft Tart (no comment)
Refried Beans (anyone who buys their frijoles refritos rather than making their own must be really busy or really lazy, the tinned ones are minging and look and taste like the gunk you get out of the dishwasher filter when you can finally be arsed to clean it out to stop bits of broccoli being welded to your wine glasses)
Sour Cream (I've a hunch theres something mexican in the offing which maybe explains the latin loo roll)
C.Flakes
Crisps
Pringles
Snacks (well it is Friday)
Eggs
Mince
Pizza
G. Bread (in the words of Peter Kay "G. Bread.??"
El Bog Roll (yes, again!?!)
Scampi
Savs??? (or could be Saus)
Shampoo
Bog Roll (?)
El Bog Roll (honestly, I kid you not)
TV Guide

this weekend clearly holds the promise of big nights in in front of the telly with crap food and fried snacks and a lot of toilet tissue (foreign or otherwise). I'd have thought that with the lack of veg and high fibre foods on the list, the need for so much loo roll wouldn't come up, but, there's me getting all scatalogical again, sorry ladies.

my work here is done, I'm not looking for anymore until tomorrow. Safe.

Omg
Rofl @ that one

Mexican food can really mess up some peoples insides you know.

Well Bear's is fab but I am roaring at jacobsmummy's TURN RIGHT!

Oh that is so funny. It's the way you tell 'em

Would left over till receipts found in bottom of trolley count towards Cods social experiment, or do they have to be hand written pre shopping lists?

Think 'Soft tart' could be 'soft tort' as in tortillas? To go with the rest of the Mexican stuff?

Message withdrawn

Ooooh, lets all start leaving our lists in the trolley!

If anyone finds one that says 'Golden Fleece' it's mine, because that's what I call those pan scourers with sponge on one side.
OR you could have tracked down my long lost flat mate from whom I inhertited the term!
