Express Lane - 10 Items or Less

1. One gallon of Tropicana orange juice. No Pulp
2. Six cups of Stonybrook Farm yogurt of various flavors. On sale 6 for $3. That counts as one, I say.
3. Three gallons of 2% milk. Hell, it's not my fault they don't make one 3 gallon container of milk.
4. Five boxes of tissues. See excuse #3.
5. Eight boxes of Annie's Mac and Cheese. See excuse #2.
6. A bag of carrot sticks and a bag of frozen peas. Because they go together so nicely.
7. A bottle of Hentz ketchup, a jar of pasta sauce, and salsa. Because they're all red.
8. One bag of coffee beans.
9. Ooops. How did those bags of Veggie Bootie get in the cart? The kid must have put them in there.
10. A copy of Lucky and a tin of Altoids. Because anything picked up while waiting on line doesn't count.

What on earth is "Veggie Bootie"? I thought that was what one got when one slept with a vegan -- and surely that's not on sale at Kroger. (And if it were, would the kids put it in the cart?)

Mmmm Veggie Booty! Fruity Booty is good too :) Thanks for making me laugh... next time I am in the express lane grouching about the person who has really 20 items I will remember this (and laugh, which will make them all think I am mad, but whatever).

I've sometimes wondered whether someone could blog exclusively in list form and I think this post may prove it's possible :)

It's a well established fact that x of any particular item counts as one, regardless of how large x is.

Jeez, if you've got a kid in the cart, don't you get ten for you and ten for him?

Ooops. Spelled Veggie Booty wrong. http://www.robscape.com/

Veggie Booty is big on the East Coast amongst pretentious moms like myself. It's puffed rice covered in a melange of kale, spinach, and cabbage. Hey, the kids eat it.

Now I know who was staniding in line in front of me at the grocery.

Lucky? Not Us or Star?

Well, to each her own ;)
