The Online Museum of Shopping Lists is run on a voluntary basis and is provided free of charge. The museum is intended to provide insights into what people like to eat, to assist with social and historical research, and also (let's face it - mostly) to satisfy natural human curiosity.

All information which could be used to contact individuals through any shopping lists reproduced on this site will be obscured prior to publication to protect the privacy of those people whose shopping lists are exhibited here. Names, addresses and trademarks of businesses, governmental and other organisations will be displayed, to provide contextual information.
