Is it that the numbers read
465
123
which is a strange order for gears.

◯ gallons of milk
◯ boxes of cheerios
◯ packages of bacon

I don't get how the numbers can be anything but multipliers here. @Swamp Thing's list illustrates this, as it makes no sense to write

I think we are to understand that the actual list looked like

1 eggs
2 milk
3 cheerios
4 bacon

And the list in phinds' post is what the guy came home with. Presumably, he filled in the units for each quantity according to his best judgement.

And the premise of my own feeble joke is that if it was a list with circle bullets, he would have come home with zero of each item.
