Basically, somebody writes down a safe combination, a speech or poem, plans for the Death Star, etc. onto a piece of paper.
So they reach into their pocket, pull out a list, and more or less go....
"Now that's done, let's see what else I must do. Butter, eggs, litre of milk... wait, no. That's my grocery list", puts it away, pulls out another list: "Okay, let's start again."
A variation has a messenger handing at first a grocery list instead of the intended message to its recipient. Another variant involves someone taking out the wrong sheet of paper with a list of laundry items.
Not to be confused with Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, except in the most literal examples.
A subtrope of Unfortunate Item Swap. See also Script Swap. This may be one response to an Shockingly Expensive Bill.

A cartoon in the Horrible Histories book of the 20th Century parodies the infamous "cranberry sauce" lyric of "Strawberry Fields Forever", with John Lennon reading "Cranberry sauce, strawberry jam, milk and a packet of biscuits. Wait, these aren't my lines...".

The Simpsons:
In the episode "Cape Feare," Sideshow Bob writes a list of his diabolical plans in his own blood and ends it with "Buy corn holders". Then he starts writing a letter to "Life in these United States" before passing out.
Subverted when Bart and Milhouse were left in charge of Comic Book Guy's store, Milhouse read out his instructions (chocolate malt balls, doughnuts, etc). Bart dismissed this as his grocery list, but no, it was indeed his instructions.

In the second episode of The Muppets Mayhem, the band say they've come up with some great ideas for songs, and Zoot reads off a list that goes "toothpaste, Jordan almonds, imitation crab meat". Realising his mistake, he flips the paper and reads the actual song ideas, which are "pizza bagels, nine volt batteries, meatless meatballs and Fritos".

One strip had Ted trying to push a stupid plan because the pros outnumbered the cons. Dilbert read the list and found out that everything in the pros column was part of his grocery list. Having been caught out, Ted claims that the fault is trying to quantize pros vs cons, rather than that the plan is stupid.
In Wally Took Notes, Wally's notes from the last meeting are insults about his co-workers and a list of snacks.

In one episode of Bonkers, Pickel gets Bonkers' cold, causing worries about bad side effects of a human suffering a toon disease. Bonkers' doctor provides them with a list of bizarre and barely legible possible remedies that Pickel gets subjected to over the course of the episode, all of which involve food, such as soaking his feet in chicken soup while putting lettuce on his head. After the disease goes away naturally with no issues at the end of the episode, it turns out that the list of remedies was actually a grocery list (chicken foot soup, head of lettuce...)

An episode of Welcome Back, Kotter had Mr. Kotter accused of sexually harassing a student. (Actually, she fainted due to a fad diet she had been on and Mr. Kotter was just trying to help her get up.) The Sweathogs wanted the girl in question to sign a confession stating that Kotter hadn't done anything. Horshach wrote the confession on the back of a grocery list and read that to her at first.

Inverted in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 630 (1996), story "Scandal on the Epoch Express." Donald Duck, porter on a train, reads what appears to be a grocery list of all the freight items the train should have picked up, but segues halfway through into the Witches' Chant from Macbeth. (That's the one that goes "Eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog...")

DuckTales (1987): In the final scene of "Spies in Their Eyes", Donald's commander gives him his court-martial papers, which he eagerly tears up, while his commander gives Scrooge contracts to build 20 more submarines. Unfortunately, it's then revealed that the Commander gave Scrooge the court-martial papers by mistake, meaning that Donald had actually torn up the contracts, much to Scrooge's fury.

Red Dwarf:
"Waiting for God" went farther than most with this. The evolved descendants of Lister's cat escaped the space ship years ago aboard arks using a "star map" given to them by their god, Cloister the Stupid. The star map turned out to be Lister's laundry list, which he used to line his cat's basket.
In the episode "Timeslides" the crew goes back in time and steals Hilter's Diary. It read: "Things to do: Stop milk, pay papers, invade Czechoslovakia!"
In "Twentica", a badly wounded bootlegger tells Lister he is not going to make it and hands him a card. Lister reads the card and says "Pizza delivery? You want to order a pizza?". The bootlegger replies "Sorry. Wrong pocket" and hands him the card for the science speakeasy.

The first time, he pulls out a Fan Disservice pin-up of Truffles, his elderly wife, which freaks out both Chowder and Shnitzel. The second time, he grabs an embarrassing photo of Shnitzel in the shower, much to the latter's anger.

When Arthur delivers his to the Brain, the Brain reads it and yells "This isn't an apology, it's a list of demands!" as the letter is just a list of toys and dolls preceded by "I want." Arthur quickly realizes that he wrote the letter on the back of his little sister's Christmas list.

Inverted in an episode of The Nanny in which Fran picks up an old piece of paper from Maxwell's desk: it's from an original Shakespeare manuscript, specifically "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark". Fran's reaction is "If he wants Danish ham, why can't he just say so?" and she goes shopping with the MS page as her list. And gets mugged.

An example shows up in an episode of Phineas and Ferb when Major Monogram is relating to Agent P a list of suspicious items that Doofenshmirtz has purchased. As soon as he reads off "blood sausage", he cites this trope word for word.
Made more amusing by the fact that, given some of Doof's prior schemes, blood sausage wouldn't have been outside the realm of possibilities.
The hybrid list idea is done with "big laundry".
This trope was also partly responsible for thwarting one of Doofenshmirtz' schemes. While using an -inator that moves objects to a random horrible location, he mixes up his "horrible location" wheel with a "dry cleaning wheel" which exists for... reasons he can't recall, and zaps a party into his pants.

At the beginning of one episode of M*A*S*H, Blake asks Radar to read a list of everything the camp is running low on because their supply line got cut. After Radar finishes the list, Blake tells him to brief the other officers on what areas of rationing they'll be in charge of, and he starts reading the first list again. Then he stops, flips the top page of his clipboard out of the way, and reads the real second list.
In another episode, Colonel Blake is directing Trapper out of a minefield using what he thought was a map of the mines — but actually turns out to be a map of WWII Germany. Cue an Oh, Crap! moment when they realize that Trapper is inches away from stepping on a mine.

Used a few times in Kim Possible:
In Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama, Drakken plays "the trading game" with bad guy Big Daddy Brotherson and initially receives the man's grocery list.
In the first episode of the fourth season, Professor Dementor drops his list at one location, making it easier for Kim and Ron to find him in the next.
In another episode of the fourth season where Drakken keeps his plans on 3x5 cards, he mistakenly says that after remembering his foolproof plan, they bowl with the henchmen, indicating his cards are out of order.
In yet another episode, Ron writes a love poem to help Wade impress Monique. When Wade starts reading, it turns out to have been Ron's biology report. Ron then realizes he turned the poem in for his report (it gets an A+).

In Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, Catherine finds some papers just before the light goes out. Having read far too many Gothic novels, she is horrified with the possibilities. And morning reveals it was a laundry list. At the end of the novel, to escape the problems of a Parental Marriage Veto, Austen has the hero's sister marry a nobleman, and the hero's father is so pleased that he approves the hero's marriage. She then asserts that the nobleman was the one who left the laundry list, and therefore she wasn't introducing a new character at the end to act as a Deus ex Machina.

When Phoenix presents it to the literal Cowboy Cop, he comments it is actually a grocery list. While Phoenix is mentally kicking himself for not checking out the document first, Jake accepts it anyway, claiming this proves that it comes from Gumshoe better than a DNA test.

In Bored of the Rings, a portentous messenger (soon revealed to be Stomper) accidentally hands Frito a slip of paper reading: "Three shorts, four pairs socks, two shirts, chain mail, heavy starch?" This is immediately lampshaded by the narration referring to it as an "ancient gag" (the book was first published in 1969).

"Baxter's Book" from Bookaboo opens with Growler telling Bookaboo he's going to read him a story from a great book. He reads "Six sausages, one onion, basil, rosemary, browned all over. Put into an oven, a hot oven for one hour. Garnish with fresh parsley." Bookaboo is at first confused, then interprets Basil and "Rose Marie" as characters in the story, before realizing that Growler is reading him a recipe from a cookbook.

Whodunnit? (UK): Done (apparently as a spur-of-the-moment gag) on "Too Many Cooks". When Jon Pertwee is collecting the cards from the panellists, he takes Anouska Hempel's and starts to read "Take two teaspoons of sugar...? This is a recipe!" and playfully baffs her on the back of the head with it. A giggling Anouska then hands him the card with her real guess on it.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
In "Bucket Sweet Bucket", Plankton manages to successfully open the safe in Mr. Krabs' office containing the Krabby Patty secret formula. But, as Plankton finds out, Krabs knew better than to leave the formula unguarded while he was on vacation.
From "One Krabs' Trash":
SpongeBob reads his to-do list: "Let's see... go to work, go to work, go to work, go to work. That isn't right. I need the one for Sunday!"
Another one has SpongeBob reading from a book for a seance, but is actually reading the ingredients for a bottle of mustard.

Blackadder:
Played with in "Born to be King" in the first series. When McAngus makes his mighty entrance, declaring that he is bringing the spoils of an enemy at war, a severed head falls out of his bag. He then says "Oh wait, that's my overnight bag".
This gag used is in "Goodbyeeee" in the fourth series, when Melchett gives Darling a highly momentous piece of paper.

A Canticle for Leibowitz, sort of. Among the holy relics found by Brother Francis in the fallout shelter are a grocery list and a circuit diagram. Of course, since the Simplification had long destroyed every remaining diagrams and list out in the open, they're as valuable as War and Peace to the monks.

The Dresden Files RPG rulebooks are presented as an early draft written by Billy and sent to Harry for him to look over, and so it's full of sticky notes and scribbles in the margin. Most of them are comments on the text, but there's one point where Harry grabbed the nearest piece of paper to take notes on a phone call, and elsewhere his grocery list accidentally got stuck in.

On Teen Wolf, Scott, Stiles and Allison need to find the bestiary that Allison's family keeps of everything they've ever hunted, without getting caught by her parents or grandfather, but at first they don't know where it is or what it looks like. Stiles thinks it's probably an old book, and Allison remembers that she's seen her grandfather with a book like that. They go to great lengths to get ahold of it, only to discover that it is, in fact, a cookbook. The real bestiary turns out to be on a flash drive.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
An odd version; the Affably Evil Mayor does not actually keep them on separate lists, making it almost literally Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Meet with the PTA, Boy Scout awards ceremony, Become invincible, Haircut.
In the Thanksgiving episode Pangs Willow starts reading what she thinks is a list of ingredients for a magic potion, only to be told it's the recipe for the turkey stuffing. (This is part of a running gag: virtually every conversation in the episode is eventually derailed to be about food.)

When Phoenix presents it to the literal Cowboy Cop, he comments it is actually a grocery list. While Phoenix is mentally kicking himself for not checking out the document first, Jake accepts it anyway, claiming this proves that it comes from Gumshoe better than a DNA test.

Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot: When demonstrating his telepathy machine (moment before a freak accident turns him into a giant spider monster), Dr. Neugog starts to prove it works by listing some of another doctor's groceries from reading his mind; Milk, eggs, corn flakes, "And don't forget the ointment for your rash, the itch is driving you batty!"

In The Sultan of Sulu, Judge Advocate Pamela Jackson has Hadji read out to Ki-Ram the penalty for failing alimony payments in an Arkansas law book. Hadji accidentally starts reading out Pamela's recipes (which she had been filing in there).

In Durarara!!, Shinra finds out that he gave Celty his shopping list rather than the license plate of the van she was supposed to chase after when he checked it at the supermarket. Later, it turns out that she didn't need to do anything anyway since Kyohei AKA Dotachin's group was chasing after it, albeit for other reasons.

In the episode of The Slammer where the Governor loses his memory, he introduces the next act as "a pint of milk, a bag of bin liners and three scratch cards". His nephew then tells him to turn the card over.

The Critic: Subverted through overuse — When Jay Sherman's Iraqi captor intends to hand him anti-American propaganda to read on live television, he ends up giving Jay a letter to the Urkel fan club, a personal ad, and an invitation to a kegger.

Some of the manga editions of Kingdom Hearts included a set of one-shot comic strips at the end of the volume, generally featuring an amusing twist on something that happened in the main story. One of the ones at the end of Volume 3 featured Aerith trying to decode Ansem's Xehanort's Report. "Ansem the Wise... what were you trying to do...? Pork, onion, carrot, potato, shiitake mushroom... Ansem... You like shiitake mushroom in your curry?!"

In the episode "The Canal" of The Goon Show, Henry Crun attempts to read helpful advice to Neddie after he falls in the canal, and gets halfway through a cake recipe before realising he's got hold of a cookbook instead of the Lifesaving Manual. It's typical of the series that the still-drowning Neddie's response to this realisation is to wonder what he should do with the cake batter he's just made.

Used in one of the Full Metal Panic!! novels, 'Cinderella'. Sagara Sousuke lists things Cinderella needs to go to the ball: "1 pumpkin, 4 mice, 1 lizard, 1 assault rifle, 1 shotgun, 24 anti-personnel hand grenades, 160 5.56 mm bullets, three cases of c4 explosives, 6 Claymore land mines..." Turns out, all of those deadly weaponry are just his shopping list, not the things one needs to get to the ball.

In The Muppets King Arthur, a group of planted protesters are reading cue-cards provided by Sir Sam of Eagle. One of them shouts out "Bread, milk, cheese, armour polish..." before Sam gives him the right card.
