Once the groceries are purchased, people tend to disregard their shopping lists and leave them in shopping carts or parking lots. Or they may save them and contribute their lists to The Grocery List Collection, which has almost 4,000 of them now. Bill Keaggy founded the site in the year 2000 after becoming fascinated with other people's discarded lists that he found, and now he has a book, an album about groceries, and templates for your future grocery lists. But the real fun is looking through the collection to see what other people wrote down to remember what to buy.
They are jotted down on notebook paper, old receipts, envelopes, stationary, post-it notes, and a variety of scraps -even a dollar bill or two! The lists are a glimpse into a stranger's life, and their lack of spelling ability. It appears no one can spell mayonnaise, yoghurt, or even bananas. -via Messy Nessy Chic
