A shopping list is a list of items to be purchase by a shopper. Consumers often compile a shopping list of groceries to purchase on the next visit to the grocery store. The list may be compiled immediately before the shopping trip or incrementally as shopping needs arise through out the week. The shopping list itself may be a scrap piece of paper or something more elaborate. There are pads with magnets for keeping an incremental list handy on the refrigerator. Any magnetic clip with scraps of paper can be used to achieve the same result. There is a device that dispenses a strip of paper from a roll for use in a shopping list. Some shopping carts come with a small clipboard to fit shopping lists on.
