On what aisle can I find those?

I once read about someone who collected shopping lists.  I always thought that would make for a fantastic collection indeed, to see what others thought of as essential enough to write down, and the way in which they recorded said items:  scratch piece of paper, old receipt, a pad of paper that actually says Grocery List, a napkin.  Unfortunately, a collection made entirely of my lists wouldn't be interesting, as those are the only ones I ever come across.  Recently I read a blog post of an invitation to post pictures of what is actually in your cart.  I took a liking to the notion and clicked what I begin with in my shopping cart:
And, of course, it wouldn't be realistic if everyone was looking at the camera with a smile.  Thank you, Pearl, for keeping me grounded.

  9. She always does, right? I love double seated shopping carts, which means I heart Costco and Wegmans.

  10. When my parents lived in Detroit for 2 years, no one would throw away my Mom's shopping list in her jacket pocket, because it made us all feel like she was closer to home.
