Yikes! I just bought a six-pack of Pure Leaf unsweetened tea! Must delete from my next list.

(and pray that they come to their sense!)

Hi Pam!

So good to hear from you and hoping all is well. My do you read the fine print. Impressive.

These large companies are now being run by people who have no knowledge. Were real facts and history placed in front of their faces, they would deny truth. They have been hatched in an Alice and Wonderland rabbit hole. That is who is in charge. Our generation is out. Let's hope it doesn't take a world war to jar idiots into reality.

Better boycott Dove products as they were hit by growing boycott for hiring BLM activist Zyahna Bryant! She had a Caucasian female student expelled from UVA for a comment she never made.

No more Dove soap. I trust your information.

Hilarious - looks like my grocery list! I also categorize by my “route” through the grocery store. And I separate items at the checkout counter as well. Too funny 😂

Well, Montana soul-sista...we do have to be fairly organized living out here almost off the grid. This list was for Ben...hence the parentheses to explain purchases like vinegar, Dove soap bars, and the like. Thanks for reading and laughing.

4.5 out of 5 stars for being healthy (digestively & politically)! Glad to see those salty Fritos on your list…a trip without some chips just wouldn’t do! Bon Appetit!

Wow! Great score considering the Fritos. The English muffins were sour dough so not as healthy as whole wheat.

No meat on this list because here in Montana, I have two freezers and stock up on all meat early in the summer. Fresh veggies are at a premium. My neighbors just put in an enormous raised beds veggie garden. That might be a good idea.

Now, inquiring minds want to know. Does the listmaker also separate items at the checkout counter for the convenience of the sacker -- cold and frozen together, bug spray and dish soap next to one another, all the fresh fruit and veggies snuggled up together?

Well, Dr. Leinen,

Of course, you nailed it. I separate items as you have listed. The items which need refrigeration go first in plastic bags, so I can fit them in my two coolers, filled with ice. Lastly, is usually a salad or sandwich for me to eat on the drive home. And what you about your grocery list habits?

My list? Handwritten, on a small legal pad sheet or, if only a few items, the back of an envelope. Of course it's divided into categories that work from the left side of my favorite store (dairy) to the right (fruit and veggies). I enjoy grocery shopping, but I don't want to backtrack. I do make a U-turn at the end for frozen goods, in case the checkout line is long. Occasionally I'll get waylaid by something new (Noosa key lime pie yogurt!) but I'm generally impervious to splashy new product displays and end cap promotions. I'm a stick-to-the-list type.

Hmmmm....I'll have to try for Noosa Key Lime yogurt!

Not Noosa Key Lime. Noosa Key Lime PIE. They're different, and the key lime pie is expensive, but it's as good as the best key lime pie I've ever had.

Noted. Key Lime pie..I made a great Key Lime pie from Jen Segal's recipes. Absolutely divine but fattening.
