Here's what I bought:
1 box each of beef and chicken style frozen vegetarian taquitos
1 box of frozen vegetarian mini-tacos
2 cartons of soy milk
1 bottle of Mrs. Butterworth Lite
4 Prana bars (mmm...Prana bars)
2 boxes of Kashi granola bars (on sale!)
5 cans of vegetable broth (on sale!)
4 plums
1 package of fake turkey deli meat
2 boxes of frozen pierogies
1/2 dozen organic, cage free eggs
1 container of hummus
If I was the cashier, I'd peg that grocery cart owner as single vegetarian. That list definitely doesn't match with my preconceived notions of what a married woman's grocery list would look like, vegetarian or not. The fact of the matter is that while I'm happily married, my husband doesn't care one bit about food and I get home late at night so we eat a lot of ready-made meals (like frozen taquitos) or easy to make things like pasta. I'm definitely not your "typical" domestic wife (if such a person exists).
Interestingly, I'm usually coming to the cashier with a different misconception. I'm a vegetarian but my husband isn't and sometimes my cart looks like that of a meat eater. It all depends on what we're out of.
I'm sure my grocery store receipts aren't exactly riveting reading, but I did find it to be an interesting observation and it got me wondering what kinds of stories other people's grocery carts tell about them. Care to share?
