The Shopping List Compendium:
a collection of abandoned shopping and grocery lists

com·pen·di·um n. pl. com·pen·di·ums or com·pen·di·a
1. A short, complete summary; an abstract.
2. A list or collection of various items.

This site has been inspired by the kind people who abandon their shopping list at the end of a trip to the supermarket. I collect their shopping lists. If you're American you probably refer to these as grocery lists, which strikes me as a bit strange because not all the items on the lists are groceries. Anyhow, I won't worry myself about it if you won't.

For those of you who have asked why I do this, please just be content with the fact that I do. I saw a list lying abandoned in a trolley once, and thought, "I'll have that". So I did.

Each shopping list I find is added to my collection along with comments about each list, which usually consist of me spouting on about the possible personality of the person who wrote it. I'm quite harsh at times, at others I feel a pang of compassion. Sometimes I just don't know what items are. Hopefully it will aid your procrastination.

The Shopping List Compendium currently contains 277 scanned and annotated shopping lists, listed in reverse date order.

To the shopping list collection!
