do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

[codnotamod]

i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "

i bet the person who wrote winnies list is pg

Does anyone else think that these lists are really short. When I write a list it's really long which is why I have to write it down. Even with all the brain cells I killed in my youth I can still generally remember half a dozen things

Does anyone else look at the balance slips people leave behind at cash machines or is it just me?

I assume that a lot of people are like me and only write down the things that are either essential or unusual and easily forgotton. I don't write a list of everything I need to get because I know I have to get, say, meat, sairy, bread etc every trip.

soupy, thats exactly what I do so how the hell did I forget wine?

I have only just come to this thread and i find i've been bypassing some great entertainment lol will defo get scurrying for lists when i do my shopping on Thursday......ooooo am all excited now..

Very . I went today and didnt find a sausage.

Even concidered looking at a scratty receipt to make me feel a bit better .

I've just found this thread. What a hoot!!

If my DH writes the shopping list, he writes it in his own secret code that I can hardly understand. He said that he didn't want anybody finding it and knowing all about him. I just laughed at him but it seems he was RIGHT ALL ALONG.

oh yes receipts

are we allowed to include them?

My dss works in Tesco and has just told me that on Saturday a bloke bought 24 beers and 4 tubes of ky jelly -eeuugghh.

suppose receipts are not as interesting

No its not the same really. Its not personal enough is it?

pmsl@ this thread so if i go round supermarket and see mums looking in empty trollies i know they are on mums net!??

I did wonder if someone had bet me to it this morning.

Great Thread, I love reading the notes left, but I must admit that I also am mesmorized to look at other people's shopping when I am standing in the line. I do it all the time and imagine what they are going to cook when they get home...
