I found this list while I was packing my shopping away at Tesco earlier this very week. It was crumpled and is faint, so click on it to see the full sized image.
My favourite item is the Shrek Toothbrush. I do like it when people are specific, so if you wouldn't mind doing likewise on your own shopping lists, just in case I find them, I'd appreciate it.
Also, Kinder Eggs. Cool. I am quite envious of this week's shopper. They are getting chocolate and a surprise and a toy as well (except that the toy and the surprise are presumably the same thing - unless I've been missing something). What more could any rational human being want out of life? Nothing.

Are kinder eggs those chocolates that have little toys in the middle? My aunt brought back some when she went to Europe years ago.
Dang I miss Kinder Eggs and Tesco's!
Aren't all these shopping lists so much more wonderful and human than ones made in a digital diary?
Umm...what happened to Buckley loves? I liked that.
i do hope a child wrote that...
I so miss my guihipig.
Also does anyone know what the item above 'crumpits' is?
The mind is a gunboat in a sea of ideas.
My mother is an artist and collects shopping lists that she finds. I think perhaps she should get them published one day, some of them are lovely and she would like this one...
Silverneurotic: That's right - the chocolate is quite yummy as I recall. Did you enjoy them?
Michael: You should try visiting the Tescos near me on a Saturday, that'd knock that out of you!
Anne Blythe: To be honest I hadn't thought about people making them in their digital diaries - don't see too many people walking around with them in my Tescos, so I think the list is still going strong around here. And how lovely of you to notice the absence of Buckley Loves! I am most touched. I was just a bit busy on Friday, it'll be back next week.
Pink Jellybaby: It's a strange one isn't it - looks like it was written by a child-adult combo to me.
The Boy: I think it's mince, but it could be Mr Ince....
Take Aim: So glad to have inspired such profundity.
Lilac Stripe: I'm quite surprised that other people are doing this too - maybe I'm not so strange after all!
I was left with the impression that the last lot of eggs this person bought were not particularly kind to them...
I love the way the word butter is 'writ large'.
Do any amateur graphologists out there have an opinion on this? Perhaps the slight backslant of the handwriting indicates an introverted character...? Perhaps 'Crumpits' is written with a forward slant because it's a real treat that's going to be savoured and enjoyed (see 'butter' above)?
Lastly, I assume it's written with children in mind, but I can't help but think it cool that there may be a venture capitalist out there using 'Shrek toothpate'.
Analysis aside, It's art...
P.S. This posting was made on the 700th anniversary of the arrest of the Knights Templars by King Phillip IV- 13th october 1307. Try as I might I couldn't make a connection with the list and the Templars- except that their plans were 'foiled'...
...I'll get me coat...
