Mrs. Cranky's Shopping List
Back by popular demand is another
Mrs. Cranky's shopping list contest.
Mrs. C writes in a strange combination of shorthand, doctor and hieroglyphics.
Occasionally she will send me shopping with such a list and expect me to collect all the items. I always have to call her from the supermarket to inquire on an item, even though all her chicken-scratch was explained before sending me off.
I defy anyone to correctly identify all items. No one has done so in the past, though a few women have come close.
The person who correctly identifies the most items will win a mention and a WHOOP-TE-DOO (suitable for framing)
Hint...the scribble on the last line is just scribble.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteWhy not send it to a pharmacist to do the shopping for you?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Ok, what’s going on with the previous comments?😂 Here are my guesses:
ReplyDeleteGrapefruit, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, wet wipes, Tylenol, canned tomatoes, macaroni and cheese. Then I get lost: soft buns, shredded mozzarella, Nivia’s hand cream, Joe’s toilet paper?
I think I’ve found a new career!
Oh God. Tylenol, mac & cheese, grapefruit, olive oil, and soft buns maybe?? Good luck joeh.
ReplyDeleteYou know I've never been able to get more than a couple of the things on her list and that's all I got today. Is she a doctor?
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Joe. ☺
I figured out some of them this time but not all.
ReplyDeletegrapefruit, ? , apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise.
wet wipes, Tylenol, Nivea ?, ? toilet paper.
canned tomatoes, matches, 20 (?) freezer bags, and shampoo.
That was the best I could do. I have been known to give my husband a challenge or two with my lists also. Ironically, his handwriting is barely decipherable. Good luck. Ranee (MN)
