An “old-fashioned term,” to be sure, but “a beautiful term.” “It sort of says a bag with different things in it”: a president speaks of “groceries.”

[Also works an apt figurative characterization of Orange Crate Art.]

"Sundries" is another great word that is too little used. Or "various and sundry".
