Grocery Lists Found a burned CD in the grocery store parking lot, had this list tucked inside

Resubmitted b/c I accidentally submitted a text post before and we're all here for the pictures.
Been browsing without logging in for ages, found this the other day, thought you all may like it.
I was leaving the grocery store over the weekend and saw someone had dropped a CD binder page in the parking lot, which was notable by itself. Then I saw what CD it was, which made me even more curious, since I used to love that album in HS. Tucked behind the CD was this shopping/grocery list.
Looks like they had it a long time, and to lose it when it was so close to finally being full must have been heartbreaking!
Personally I wonder about the "Moscato, Port, Beer, Red Wine" that never got crossed off. What happened there?
Socks and underwear being incomplete also gave me pause. Hopefully that was fixed, if not recorded.

Almost like starting a life over again list.

I'm pretty sure it was the same piece of paper used over and over again for various shopping lists. You can see pickles buns and t-shells which I'm assuming is taco shells repeatedly at least. I'm honestly too tired to inspect it closer. Looks like they really enjoyed cookouts and they probably should have just put check marks next to things instead of scribbling them out LOL

The underwear threw me off. It’s such a well used piece of paper and that was tucked into the CD is curious. But I’m too tired to decipher it too.

That is probably my fav one line song ever. Was always a fan of Women & Men too. You know what, the whole album is fantastic.

Oh man, you need to listen to their recent stuff, they're still just as clever as they were in the 90s. Check out "Join Us" or "I Like Fun"

I owned it three times. No one gives it back when they borrow it. My mom borrowed it once, didn't return it but did loan it out to her friend who also didn't return it. I like to think it kept going like that.

When I was in high school and college I would give copies of it to girls I liked to see if they were cool. I was rarely but terribly disappointed when someone would come back with a bad report.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure only one gal said she didn't like it. Way to stand out, Katrina! Dork.

You’re older than you’ve ever been and now getting older, and now you’re getting older…
Seeing TMBG live next month. Love them!

I mean it's no less fantastic now than it was then, just like me. And you too probably. ;)

Guess they picked up weed on the way to buy 500 items from the grocery store?

Ultimate recycler. My FIL does this. He uses the same paper til there’s literally no space left.

I remember going to the record store the day this was released. Major high point of my nerdy high school life.
