So I found this really cool book last week called, Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery lists lost and found by Bill Keaggy.
Basically the author has been collecting shopping lists for years. Once he finds them he seeS what insights he can find. Below is a snip-it of the book.
“Milk Eggs Vodka” features more than 200 real grocery lists recovered from shopping carts and parking lots across America and other corners of the globe. Keaggy dissects each list with his acerbic wit and offers intriguing insights about what we eat and why.
“True, lists are trash,” said Keaggy, who found his first list ten years ago. “But they also reveal clues about who we really are. Plus, it’s fun to ridicule the weird things people buy and the fact no one can spell bananas.”
Check out the grocery list website at, www.grocerylists.org
My favorite list.....
"Prozac, kid hair de-tangler, Ibuprofen, Fiber-All, Sensodyne."
As Keaggy notes in his unfailingly wonderful marginalia, "Wow, your life sucks, my friend. Constipation, headaches, aching gums, kids with knotted hair. No wonder you're depressed."

Milk, eggs, vodka...I really thought this was your grocery list and your were practicing your advertising skills. Speaking of grocery list, I know you are on a budget, as I am, I found this interesting website this week www.hillbillyhousewife.com. Although you may not even entertain eating some of the meals; she tells you how to save money on your grocery bill and gives you real grocery list. Take care!
