    Default Do you use a list when grocery shopping?

    I frequently forget the damn list at home.

    That sucks, I hate wasted effort. I never make a list and always end up getting wacky things I don't need. That's what happened today actually.

    So what do you use the toilet paper for Dino?

    Does your list always include 40 of those dinners or do you splurge on them when they go on sale?


    And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
    With all of its misery and wretched lies
    If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
    The Big Machine will just move on
    Still we cling afraid we'll fall
    Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

    The TP is at the bottom of my list Charmin Ultra-Strong Toilet Paper (Mega Pack). You reminded me I forgot some air freshener. I buy all my liquor at the Trader Joe's and CVS so it's not on my grocery list. Did I not have enough Swanson Hungry-Man TV Dinner (Mexican Style Fiesta) on my list?

    Holy shit. That is the second mention of hungry man mexican meal in two days!

    It's so crazy how the brownie looks like pudding and then it somehow bakes and rises in the microwave.

    If I eat too many Swanson Hungry-Man TV Dinner (Mexican Style Fiesta) my brownie looks like pudding too.

    Danish TV showed a program yesterday in which they looked at this problem. It turns out that you don't even need the list if you just make up a story about all the items on the list.

    The host of the show had to go shop for a list of 30 items and said that she would usually only be able to remember 1/3 of them or so, but by creating the story, she remembered 29!

    "The story doesn't have to make sense. Just something like:

    Once upon a time there was a bag of toiletpaper who married a milk and they had 3 baby tomatoes."

    And so on...

    Since it's in Denmark, do you have to sing the song in King Diamond's voice? That would gather you some attention in the store.

    Sometimes I choose my grocery items based on how loose my stool was that week.
