Do you make grocery shopping lists?
Author-photographer-crazy collector Bill Keaggy compiled dozens of discarded shopping lists for his book Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found. Here are a couple that gave me a giggle...

ha! poop bags. classic.
I like "1/2 & 1/2"...I love seeing cute abbreviations for things that might even take longer to write just for the sake of abbreviating!
Very funny. I always try making lists, but it never actually happens. I think poop bags would make it on my list as well since I use them with our 2 pups. :)
i love these! especially the 1/2 n 1/2. they are like secret windows into someone's life. i'm not a peeping tom but it sort of makes everyone feel a little more real. Don't you think?
hahah poop bags are always on my list!!
you know how you're supposed to make grocery lists so you only buy what you need. well i make lists so i dont forget what i need and then buy everything else that i want :)
do i make grocery lists... i have a slight addiction to post it notes. my problem is that i make fantastic lists and then proceed to leave them at my house or in the car. i wonder how many of my own are floating around the various valley grocery stores right now!
These are so interesting! I'd like to see that book of people's little lists. I bet it provides for quite a few laughs. ;)
too funny. it'd be interesting to do a comparison of the list with what's actually in the cart. here's why: my list: apples, bananas, asparagus, string cheese. my cart: haagen dazs, pretzels, red vines. oops.
Okay, I have to admit that I gaze at other people's baskets and try to gain some sort of idea of who they are. I don't mind waiting in the checkout line at all for this very reason.
Em: you just made me crave red vines. OMG I need them now.
I've never written a grocery shopping list of my own, but I am absolutely fascinated with the long-forgotten ones I find in supermarket aisles.
I tend to examine the handwriting, paper, items...it truly makes you wonder who the person is. :)
I love this book! I think it's so clever and completely agree that it's like a small glimpse in to the "every day" of our lives.
love it! my list the other read: apples, pecans, string cheese and popsicles.
i'd give you a million bucks if you could make a meal out of that. :)
Paige: You wouldn't be pregnant, would you?! Hysterical!
I always list because I am an insane person and can't remember anything! LOL
wow, i can't believe this person saved all of those lists! I usually throw them away when I'm done, usually on the way out of the store, haha.
I have a customer who used to bring me the grocery lists her husband wrote so we could have a good laugh. He won't be winning any spelling bees. The funniest one had on the list, paper bowels. He meant paper bowls.
Jae, that is hysterical!!
