Cabich, bird fude, nodiles, buttmilk, dog yogurt, bannes, hare sope, cream of salary soup.

What do these things have in common? They're all items from real grocery lists. Whose lists? Who knows. The lists were found discarded in shopping carts, dropped on supermarket floors and parking lots, even tucked in returned library books. But the fact that they were discarded is not what's interesting about them. It's that they were found - found and/or collected by Bill Keaggy, proprietor of Grocerylists.org and the author of the world's first compilation of lost grocery lists. This book.

If we are what we eat, then this book reveals deep and strange truths about the average food shopper (not to mention more mundane facts like a lot of people love vodka, banana is actually very difficult to spell and that butter used to be dyed yellow using marigolds).

Separated into chapters - funny lists, sad lists, unhealthy lists, organized lists - the book also includes humorous commentary by the author and some delicious recipes created from found grocery lists. Quirky sidebars and odd food facts round out the menu.

*Translation: Cabbage, bird food, noodles, buttermilk, dog yogurt (duh), bananas, shampoo, cream of celery soup.

From the Inside Flap

FROM THE AUTHOR
"These found grocery lists are rare specimens. I have a collection from around the world that numbers in the thousands, but it has taken years of hunting and gathering. People are very protective of their grocery lists. I call it selective littering. Seems most folks would sooner dump their car ashtray in the grocery's parking lot or toss a week's worth of soda cans and fast food bags on the ground outside the store (and they do) rather than leave their list in a shopping card. It's because grocery lists are supposed to be private. Never mind that all of us have to go through the checkout in public. Our lists are supposed to be private, and that's why it's so enjoyable to look through them -- unless one of the lists happen to be yours."

We're ALL voyeurs, to some degree

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

You eavesdrop sometimes. You know you do. So do I. Whether we ought to or not, we all have a subtle hankering to know what's behind the proverbial curtain-- to see people with their facade taken down-- just for a moment. To see that they're just like us.

That's exactly what this book is all about. You'll be cracking up at the bizarre things on these lists, but don;t tell me by the end of it you haven't seen a few of them in here that you could have written yourself.

The quips and one-liners that accompany each list are priceless, too.

It's thick enough to keep you busy-- and laughing-- for a long long time. I bought three to give away after we couldn't stop fighting over it during an ocean trip!

So funny...

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2012

This book is so funny. I saw the author on one or the late night talk shows a while back and knew I would love this book. I found myself laughing out loud and had tears at some points. I think what makes it so funny is seeing yourself in it. We all make grocery lists and looking at it from this perspective brings out the humor in our everyday lives. If you tend to have a quirky sense of humor you will enjoy this.I hope he writes a second book!

I bought this book for my mother after I found a hilarious grocery list in a store I used to work at. She sent the list into the author, who only had a website at the time. Who would've known that he would go on to publish his own book? Well, the list I sent her made it into the book and now we're famous (sort of). Thanks Bill, you gave us so much to laugh about!

Charming Book

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2015

Charming book. More a coffee table book than a story book, but I find that any time I pick it up I spend at least a half of an hour with it and that it is nostalgic and funny and reminiscent. Half the pages. In there could be mine or yours.

Hysterical and love the side note factoids. Received it as a gift and gave it as a gift to someone who is hard to buy for.

Promising cover

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was looking forward to read this. Cover was very promising. I heard about the book in a FB group in Finland. But to my suprise the general tone in the book was negativ. Not fun. It could have been written in a way making people laugh. I read and have read a lot in my life. But this promised more than it gave.

This book arrived quickly and is in great shape. I've read parts of it and find it quite funny. Got it thinking it would make a good Christmas gift but I don't know if I want to give it up now.
