Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
FOUND by Annie Farrar
in Anderson, California
My mom found this shopping list in the Safeway, in the produce section on top of the grapes. It appears, to me, to be a short shopping list for someone's Thanksgiving, mainly because they list a 15lb turkey, and stuffing bread (mix).

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...
The list is too short for a worthwhile thanksgiving. Where is the sweet potato? the cranberry sauce? the pecan pie? the jello with tiny fruits and marshmallows? Who could possibly give thanks for a measly 15lb turkey, some half-assed box stuffing and milk? I demand more calories for my gratitude!
What? No veggies?? Or pumpkin pie?
I'd shop at Safeway over Wal-Mart any day.
this is simply the shopping list for the shopper's puppy -- who looks uncannily like the pooch of the note pad. it's thanksgiving, and he's not eating any kibble! turkey, stuffing, and milk for fido! makes t-day d-day ('d' as in diarrhea)!
poor puppy. so forlorn and abandoned in, of all the places, the produce section! cruel.
-i hate those stupid bunny/dog/cat/furry creature notepads
-thanksgiving will be amok without the milk
-disclaimer: please don't tell me that hate is a strong word, i've heard that speech before
Not much notable on this find, but here are two observations:
- Does it say Kitchen.Con? Is .Con a prison website?
- Is 'Coffee Pat' the name they call the person whose turn it is to set up the office breakroom? Maybe it's the writer's turn this week.
wow, a shopping list. Found sure is dedicated to bringing us the most interesting glimpses into other people's lives possible.
I have a similar "find", a list reading "eggs, milk, bread, coffee" on note paper with kittens on it, should I send that in right away?
wouldn't want anyone else to miss out on it's fascinating shopping-list goodness.
{this ends tonights test of the sarcasm broadcast system, if this had been a real sarcasm emergency, you would have been told "were" to go...}
Oh please more lists!!!
They're fascinating!!!!
Keep it movin' people - Nothin' to see here...
The people coming to thanksgiving dinner are bringing all of the other dishes. The person hosting is usually the one responsible for the turkey and stuffing.
It's a dog!
It's a fox!
It's one of those strange Australian critters!
It's TACO PUPPY!!!
AC <-> DC
Hotel <-> Motel
WalMart <-> Safeway ...
yer Mom swings both ways...
Maybe Aunt Sylvia's bringing sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and Grandma's bringing her famous chocolate pecan pie....
I guess that's a puppy, but may a cat-dog-fox mutt.
Boring...how did this make it here?
Looks like a fox cub. As for the list, meh. I have a more interesting one on my fridge even as I type.
Do Safeway and Walmart donate to Found? Maybe it's just an ad...
Wow. Annie should be a detective. She can surmise this "appears to be" a short shopping list for Thanksgiving.
And I thought it was a recipe for a homemade bomb...
Jesus, I hat indecision.
Walmart! Nah! Safeway! Well, Walmart, OK! Hmmm, Safeway! No! Walmart! Safeway! I think Walmart. What the hell, Safeway! But then there’s Walmart!
It's no damned wonder the person threw the list away, by the time he/she made up their mind, it was already Independence Day
You want shopping lists?

PS -- Not necessarily interesting or funny shopping lists.
i am thankful for my puppy paper.
i am thankful for my new coffee pot. (and so is everyone who has to interact with me in the morning)
i am thankful for safeway and walmart.
i am thankful for my turkey and stuffing.
now let's all raise our glasses, milk for me, oh, i am thankful for twelve years of sobriety, and toast to all the wonderful things for which we are thankful.
Awwww.. Uno loves Thanksgiving! Aaaand Uno Loves lists!
I love YOU, Uno!
kwyncee, your's was the best! Enjoy your thanksgiving :)
BORING.
It reads "Coffee Pat" not "Coffee Pot". (and now I'm thinking of the old Pat skits from SNL)
Turkey does get eaten at times other than American Thanksgiving, so this might only SEEM to be seasonally-related. (speaking of seasons, where's the sage, thyme, and so on?)
Who can't remember three things (turkey-stuffing-milk; turkey-stuffing-milk ... say it wiht me ... turkey-stuffing-milk) long enough to get to the store and back?
Walmart or Safeway? I don't like the idea of buying my food at the same place people shop for televisions, radial tires, consumer electronics, and so on. I'd go with Safeway if that was my only choice for an actual food store.
I hate Walmart because I can't stand how crowded it is. That said, there is nothing wrong with their food. They have a great selection at a low price and everything is fresh. The meat selection is updated everyday because the meat is sold so quickly they must have daily deliveries.
However, the packed parking lots, the crowded aisles, and the long lines at the check out do turn me off. But where else can you buy your turkey AND pick up the deep fat Turkey Fryer and thus neccesary fire extiguisher all in one trip?
so at the top, did she mean to write kitchen.com? (there MUST be a kitchen.com. But is there a kitchen con in town? I'm there.)
thanks fooch! i hope you enjoy your thanksgiving as well; may you have much for which to be thankful.
so, i picture this person realizing what he/she was in for and giving up. "hey, what the....you mean i need butter? and chicken broth? and onions?? and celery???? and a coffee pot? and a turkey pan?? and i have to reach in the turky and pull out the what????!"
Not a puppy..claws are too long/sharp. Me thinks...ummm....something really cute as a young'un but really ugly when it grows to an adult.
kwyncee in aere aedificare, you are most welcome, and yes..much to be thankful for.
A side note: I teach kids, most not from around these parts. Our American culture does not mean much, so their feasts are consisting of pizzas and soda.
I would say they are missing out, but what do I know?
coffee pat. I want one, too.
Lordy, I hate stuffing mix. That stuff is nasty.
