    Grocery Lists

    Performance artist and writer Hillary Carlip collects grocery lists that she finds and "creates" a writer to go with each list. Her book, A la Cart : The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers, which will be available for purchase on March 18, compiles several of these vintage shopping lists. Carlip's lists made us curious about YOUR lists.
