Beyond groceries, Grocery lists, Weirdness

Three Items at the Supermarket I See in a New Way, Now That I’ve Read Some Books on Literary Theory.

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.
