(not my) shopping list
my friend found this shopping list at the market a few months ago. what the heck were they going to make? were they having a party? with all the different chex cereals out there, why did they go with wheat? why the need to capitalize bacon? why did they scratch out cupcakes in favor of regular cake? i forgot that you can buy pizza at the market. i get made fun of all the time for saying market. most people i know say grocery store. i’ve never said that in my life. the market is the supermarket. where can i buy that notepaper?
I find MY old shopping lists all the time in pockets. My favorite ones, though, are the ones for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Those are important enough to go in a special notebook and they are sooooo long, I can’t believe I buy all that stuff in one go. But I do…
PS I consider myself an expert in finding ANYTHING online, but I could not find that heart paper anywhere.
This was written by a harried mom who was buying food for her kid’s birthday party. I’m guessing grade-school-aged kid. The handwriting is all different because she wrote as she thought of things or in-between interruptions. She chose cake after she realized she didn’t have time to frost all the cupcakes. Bacon may have had nothing to do with the party but was rather for Sunday morning’s breakfast (or maybe it was a sleepover?). Or perhaps it’s for a recipe with the wheat chex (I think I’ve seen something like this).
And yes, that paper rocks. I think I had stickers in my third grade sticker collection like that.
