Commas

Which is right?

"I bought milk, cheese, and bread."

"I bought milk, cheese and bread."

I think the second one is correct but I have heard you should put commas in front of "and"s "but"s etc when talking about something different? I'm a little confused.

" BrE—the Oxford comma. " More common in AmE. anonymous I have heard you should put commas in front of "and"s "but"s etc That is for coordinated clauses, not for lists.
