Grocery lists

Online Museum of Shopping Lists | Wow! Our first real “competition:” “Welcome to the Online Museum of Shopping Lists. Whether you are doing some sort of shopping-list oriented research, or are simply curious about what other people shop for, we hope you will find our exhibits useful.”

This is the world's largest collection of found grocery lists. In fact, we wrote the book on found grocery lists.

Why? Other peoples' grocery lists are fascinating. Plus, the internet is a great place to do ~~stupid~~ interesting things. So far 3,800 funny, crazy, weird, sad and/or mundane discarded scraps of paper have been posted. But it's not all useless stuff—we also link to useful and interesting articles about food, shopping, lists, collecting, and more, as well as provide a pretty awesome downloadable PDF grocery list for free.
