Sherlock finally does the shopping.

“So you’ve got the list?”

Sherlock groaned, because this was the third time he’d asked since they’d left the track. “Yes, John. I’ve got the list,” he replied as patiently as he possibly could (which was not very). He even retrieved the piece of paper from his pocket and waved it in the air to prove the veracity of his statement.

“And you’re going to stick to the list.”

He refused to dignify this with a response, instead exchanging the infuriating list for his phone and tapping out a text to Lestrade.

“Sherlock?”

He ignored him, looking up the weather in Fez for no reason.

John sighed. He just couldn’t shake the feeling that this could all go so horribly, horribly wrong.

OK, Brits, I need some Brand Name assistance. For Christmas, Sherlock gives John the gift of One Shopping Excursion. Circumstances force John to send him alone, with a list. Non-Brits, feel free to suggest generic items and I will try to match them up to something which might actually be in the shop near the flat. Suggestions already made on the ‘Come out and play’ thread (Thanks to all of you, by the way, I’m still getting replies and enjoying them immensely!!! There might just be a treasure map in that bottle…) will also be incorporated, you can repeat or not as you like here.

So what I need is:

The shopping list John gives Sherlock. (It is epic, because John knows he may never get this chance again and Baker Street’s cupboards are bare.) Yes, I know John is unlikely to specify a specific brand for each item here, and obviously milk is on the list. :-)

The things Sherlock actually buys.

Things Sherlock encounters in the shop but decides not to buy.

What sorts of specials might be on? Thanks to 221b_hound I’m now picturing Sherlock getting madly excited when he realizes he can get things on sale.

If any of you has a moment to just sit down and type out a list of brand name items the shop would have on its shelves, that would be epic. It can be completely random, I’m just looking for a listing of things to mention in passing as he shops.

Needless to say, the boys will be texting back and forth during this excursion. ;-)
