We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Hot fries..
ok then
aw reminds me of when my mom would dictate grocery lists and i would write them down for her. maybe this kid is writing one for his mom.
mmmmm....mustard pretzels.
I like that mustard pretzels is repeated - just in case the shopper missed it the first time, it's there again to ensure the pretzels are bought.
This find will save me bags of time tomorrow thinking of what to get at the store. Copy, paste, print and off to the market I go!
i love how "anything else you want" is placed at number 12. Not too important, but still a step ahead of those desperately needed noodles.
haha. "gum for ellen" underlined.
i think i've worked out how to streamline my shopping list
i'll just move 12 up to 1. on the list and off i go ...
haha FUCK CHILDREN WHO LIKE MUSTARD PRETZELS.
Its okay, I'm a recovering Cheezits addict too. I like the "BIG" Cheezits best.
This is obviously a kid that has done somethng well, that he would be able to chose his own favorites and as a bonus his friends/sibs favorites too. You either have to love Ellen or really wish the best for her.
I really love the double mustard pretzels. and the #12, Anything else you want. Whoever wrote this is adorable.
I wonder how "Anything else you want" tastes. Any suggestions? :P
This reminds me the grocery lists I would make for my mom when I was younger. She would always forget certain items so I would put those down twice and underline it, and then my brother would want something like gum or candy and then I couldn't think of anything else so to cover all my bases I would put "anything else you need".
This list was written by a college freshman who has never been responsible for feeding herself before.
she's about to gain 50 lbs.
What a healthy, balanced list. No wonder there's an overwhelming obesity problem in the US.
Mustard pretzles deserve repitition. I wonder what kind of culinary masterpiece one could come up with using lemons, garlic, white beans, a tube of cream cheese, and noodles? Iron chef time!
This list makes me think of what you see in the carts of bachlors at the grocery store...tons of frozen pizza, chips, soda, sometimes milk, cheese and for some reason, ALWAYS (the token healthy item) bananas!
Yes Beeswax, I was wondering the same thing! What are they planning to use the garlic and lemons for??
It sounds like a bunch of elementary-age kids are setting up house! But I guess there'd be a lot more dessert-y stuff if that was the case.
Spam question - Wouldn't happy be the opposite of down? Guess not.
Gross!
Hey Banana, I guess you didn't see season 2 of 'Weeds', or you'd know what those bananas were for!
LOL Rex!
Beeswax, I read it as 'tube' at first too, but it reads 'tub'. I wondered where one would find a tube of cream cheese. ewww
16. dictionary
WHen I was little I despised cheeze-IT's and LOVED Cheeze Nips (sp?)- I distinctly remember fighting about it with my family, (we we're divided on which were better) and conducted a blind taste test to determine which were better. When it came to my turn, instead of giving me one of each- they gave me both Cheeze It's- and I claimed one was an IT and the other was a NIP- they had me caught. Cheap move bro's cheap move.
Hey Switz. I just wanted to tell you that *somebody* got your banana/weeds reference. I'm 40 and I've never tried that before though. Hmm...come to think of it, I have a couple bananas on my counter. I'll be right back....
while i really enjoy looking at the found of the day it makes me terribly terribly depressed to see how few people anywhere can spell anything anymore...
I'm just wondering (1) why you'd need pre-quartered pickles, and (2) where exactly you'd find those... Ask nicely in the deli?
haha, 8. garlic and 9. orbit gum.
thats planning ahead
htht h hth
I love how part of the list is very desriptive. (i.e. "Cheese - ITS" and "ORBIT Cinnamon Gum" rather than just any old cinnamon gum.)
Being specific is always a good choice on a market list.
Hmmm..."Anything else you want."
I'll take some wine, cheese and fresh grapes and strawberries. Red - seedless - organic grapes.
What's wrong with you people? Not Pretzels....Prezlels!!! Interestingly, they were spelling Cheeze Its correctly until OOPS - apostrophe! Aww. So close (Yes I know cheese doesn't have a Z but the manufacturer spells it that way on the box).
I have a friend who's a professional proofreader and misspelled words drive her crazy. If I were to show this to her she would die.
Rasian bread sounds like some Star Trek thing, like Romulan Ale. Them Rasians make some tasty bread.
I love hot fries. Chesters (formerly Andy Capp) Hot Fries. Oh I'm soooo going to go out and get me some orange hands today.
hotmom: you're right, for some reason my brain made it say "tube" when it's clearly "tub". I was wondering where they keep the tubes of cream cheese, too, by the toothpaste? by those cookie dough things in a tube? Good thing I don't have to think about that one anymore. Cream cheese + strawberry jelly + saltines = crazy delicious
Paid for of course, with food stamps.
"Pickles in Quarters" are more commonly known as "Pickle Spears," and they're in the pickle department right next to the Whole, Half, and Sliced varieties.
This is the weirdest Grocery list I have ever seen. Those darn vegetarians, Where's the Beef? It all condiments and snack food. These people have strange eating habbits for sure.
It's the sequel to Amber's famous Kool-Aid pie. Made with white beans, cream cheese, milk, strawberry jelly, lemon and garlic, whizzed up in the blender and chilled. Top off with quartered pickles and crumbled blueberry cobbler bars and mustard prezlels [sic]. Serve on raisin bread, with hot fries and noodles, and anything else you want. It tastes... er... oh God... Excuse me a moment.
This looks a lot like my friend's handwriting, has her kind of personality too, with the desperate noodles and all. Curious.
We're nowhere near St. Louis though.
L, how did that work out for you? I'm a girl, so I wouldn't know.
Maybe it's the ransom for someone:
" Must supply five boxes of spaghetti noodles within the next 48 hours if you ever want to see your daughter again."
Damn. That's desperate!
"Gllen" is a very odd spelling of "Glen." Huh. Maybe he is just semi-illiterate.
Maybe this person is making hummus? White beans, lemon, garlic. Not sure it would go well with rasian bread and strawberry jelly, but I shouldn't knock it 'til I've tried it.
I'm so behind the times I guess. I don't have cable hooked up to my TV, so I don't know what the "Weeds" banana reference is about. Can someone please tell me?
Also, Jonathan may be on to something. Maybe this list is for a pregnant woman!!! The gum is for Gllen the husband. He needs the gum so he can keep his mouth busy long enough so that he does say something that will get him yelled at. Or at least until she has this kid and her hormones calm waaaaaaaay down. Just a thought.
Jonathan--lol! kool-aid pie 4 eva!!!
That isn't a misspelling of Glen, it says Ellen. the bottom part of the E just curved up and made it look like a G. Look at the E's on CHEEZE-ITS.
haha and stop complaining about all the misspellings, it's pretty obvious that a kid wrote this. half of us make grammar errors while we're correcting each other anyway.
haha but I really love the enthusiasm on the gum and the noodles. maybe they have to share a room with Ellen, and Orbit cinnamon gum is the only thing to overpower her bad breath? Who knows.
I'm still stumped on the noodles, though. I don't know how noodles could ever be needed that badly.
mmm, cheezits (I hope one box is the tobasco kind), mustard pretzels! So our friend can't spell worth crap, but what excellent taste in junk food. sounds like good swimming pool snacks, Irvingdale Pool always had Hot Fries in the vending machine when I was a kid. fyi, Gigi, orbit IS the best cinnimon gum.
Yeah, I agree that Gllen is a strange spelling of Glen! But when you look at how everything else is spelled, it probably just makes sense as a misspelling on the part of the list writer than to think someone is actually named Gllen!
Maybe noodle are need so bad when people are be Chinese.
mustard pretzels are VERY important! & yes, i remember writing lists like this for my mother when i was younger :) of course, as for it being a list for an incoming freshman, i have to say that as college junior, my food shopping list really doesn't look much better than this...
and lol--WEEDS. at least the bananas solved the plumbing problem!
Blueberry cobbler bars and milk. Yummy.
WE DESPERATELY NEED NOODLES!!!!
That list sounds so unappetizing. As for writing 'mustard pretzels" twice, I do that too. For example, if I write the last one or two things off to the side of the list, I'll worry that while I'm shopping I might have the list folded over vertically and forget to look at the other side...so then I'll squeeze it in on the bottom or wherever so I can assure myself I'll see it. There are numerous ways that scenario might play out, but I'm sure you get the idea.
"Pickles in Quarters" are more commonly known as "Pickle Spears,"
- Hah! I'm, such a dork... I was picturing cut horizontally, not vertically, durr...

Answers the banana/Weeds reference for all.
LMAO Jonathan! Thanks for the laugh!
I bet for the "anything else you want" they got Pop tarts or cereal, like Life or Cinnimon Toast Crunch. I got the munchies now.
what exactly are
mustard pretzels?
excuse my ignorance.
Jonathan... Kool-Aid pie was the FIRST thing I thought of when I read this shopping list! Haha! I'm glad several other people had the same thought. Even if this family does eat a lot of junk food you have to admit they eat pretty flavorful things. Mustard pretzels, hot fries, garlic, pickles (and the pickles... Dane Cook anyone?), and blueberry bars. They definately don't stick to the bland things.
Having just come from the beach with my extended family, this looks to me like a beach house grocery list---lots of odd junk food that maybe they don't ordinarily buy, a happy kid making the list remembering to include gum for cousin Ellen, the adult thinking "what am I going to feed these people? Noodles! desperately needed!"
NOODLES!
I love so many things about this:
- Two requests for "mustard prezels"
- The capitalization of & two-box request for CHEEZE-ITS
- "Pickles in quartars," which is h-so-specific
- "Anything else you want" listed before the end of the list
- "Rasian bread," which I'm inclined to prounounce like "Asian" with an R
It seems like a list a child or 'tween wrote out for a parent. I hope Ellen got her cinnamon Orbit gum.
i love that it says "r-asian" bread. i love me some asians baked into bread, mmmmm mmmmmmm
I love the spelling of "desperately". :)
I love this list! This person has great taste in junk food, especially the hot fries! I ADORE Andy Capp Hot Fries!!! I hate that they're so hard to find now. Actually, even without the junk food I could see these exact items being on my own list, except I wouldn't have all of that junk food on mine at once.
Cheez-Its, all caps, underlined, exclamation point, two boxes, squiggly-underlined--This is a person after mine own heart! <3
