To sign 'list', hold your non-dominant hand open and flat with fingers pointing up, palm facing sideways to represent a piece of paper. Form a bent handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your fingers together and bent at the knuckles. Tap the pinky side of your dominant hand against the top of your non-dominant palm, then move it down and tap again, as if indicating lines of items written down a page.
Sign 'food' and 'store' to establish the context of groceries, then sign 'list' by tapping your bent dominant hand down your open non-dominant palm.
Point to the person, sign 'name', and then sign 'list', making sure to raise your eyebrows at the end to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'check', then sign 'list' to show the physical list of tasks that need to be completed, using distinct downward taps.

Yes! This sign works perfectly for a to-do list, a grocery list, a guest list, or any other physical or conceptual list of items you need to reference.
Usually, two or three taps are enough. You tap near the top of the 'paper' hand, then move down and tap again to clearly show the downward progression of the list.
Yes, you should always use your non-dominant hand as the stationary 'paper' and your dominant hand to do the moving and tapping. This follows the standard ASL rule of dominant hand movement.
