There are few things so painfully emblematic of being a mid-twenty something than the grocery list pictured above. So, for the sake of shits and giggles, lets take a minute to examine this list and what it says about me.
Item number 1: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. For the slower folks in the audience, it is now obvious that I am a white woman. And do you know what? This drink was delicious, 100% worth the 2.50 I spent on it.
Item number 2: Flirt with the guy in the deli. TBH, this whole list was sort of an excuse to go to the store so that I could DO THIS THING. He wasn’t there.
Item number 3: yogurt. I get these store-brand raspberry flavored yogurts with chocolate chips in the flip-top. They’re really cheap and yummy. Also, *healthier* than ice cream, so you can tell I’ve started tracking my food again.
Item number 4: bolthouse smoothies. Yep, I sure did misspell that when I wrote this list. See above: I’m tracking my food again. The only flavors I like are the daily greens and blueberry goodness, and if I’m short on either veggies or a fruit one day, I’ll just chug one of these and put it into my app.
Item number 5: goldfish. Because I am still a child at heart, I get the colors.
Item number 6: raisins. Not as healthy a choice as you think, because I got the dark-chocolate covered ones to satisfy my daily craving for chocolate.
Item number 7: popcorn. The goldfish and raisins were part of a buy five save five sale (the only reason I let myself by the raisins. They’re 3.49 without the sale!) and I needed two more items to get the sale. So I got the smartfood sea salt flavor popcorn.
Item number 8: parsley. I actually got out to my car and realized I’d forgotten this! It’s for a recipe I wanted to try, so I ran back in to get it.
It just goes to show how much one can learn from a grocery list. What does your grocery list look like? What can you tell about yourself form it, and what could others tell about you from it? How do you think mine will look different a year or five years from now?
