Dramatic shopping list

I like this one. The items on the list aren't exciting, but it's the insistent crossing out of some of them that creates the story. Were the others not found? If so, that's a very bad reflection on Waitrose's stocking practice. 

And it gets even more interesting. Here's the reverse, which appears to be from a catalogue of archaeological items.
