Cabich, bird fude, nodiles, buttmilk, dog yogurt, bannes, hare sope, cream of salary soup.*

What do these things have in common? They're all items from real grocery lists. Whose lists? Who knows. They were found discarded in shopping carts, dropped on supermarket floors and parking lots, even tucked in returned library books.

These lists have been collected into the volume you are now holding. Peek inside to see what people will write on scraps of paper they never expect anyone else to see. Marvel at the unusual combinations of food the average person shops for. You'll find yourself captivated by this unexpected and off-kilter glimpse into the lives of those around you.

Separated into chapters -- funny lists, sad lists, unhealthy lists, organized lists -- the book also includes commentary by the author and some delicious recipes created from found grocery lists.

If we are what we eat, then this book reveals deep and strange truths about the average food shopper... not to mention more mundane facts like a lot of people love vodka, banana is actually very difficult to spell and that butter used to be dyed yellow using marigolds.

*Translation: Cabbage, bird food, noodles, buttermilk, dog yogurt (duh), bananas, shampoo, cream of celery soup.

 "Funny, quirky, a must have" 2009-11-29
By Joseph Holst (St. Louis, MO)
I love this book for the simple fact that you can open it at any point, at any page, and be instantly entertained. It's a must have book, makes a great gift for anybody. We bought one for a friend, before we wrapped it up we checked it out, loved it so much we bought another for our home. We went to see the grocery list exhibit in St. Louis and were blown away.

By Pamela Meadows (Golden, CO)
I ordered the set of three books, thinking it would be funny and light hearted reading. I found it to either be boring or offensive. A big disappointment!

I love this book... it cracks me up!

I also love that I got it used for only a couple dollars and it is in GREAT shape :)

By C. Smith (Old Louisville, KY)
If you're into quirky, voyeuristic looks into other peoples lives, you'll love this. Some of the commentary on the lists is a little pointless, but the lists provide more than enough humor. On the other hand, if you looked at this page wondering why anyone would want a book of other people's grocery lists, stay far away.

One of the funniest books ever! Buy a copy. You will not regret it.

 "Great" 2009-11-11
By Amanda Sickau (NY, USA)
I've recently started clipping coupons and couldn't get over how disorganized they were just floating around in my purse come my bi-weekly trip to the supermarket. I poked around for a coupon-organizer for a bit but didn't want one of those chintzy plastic ones or one of those cardstock ones like my mom used to carry around. I found this on Amazon. The price was right, the print was cute, and it's great. Comes with cardstock dividers that fit right in and pre-printed labels to designate. Slips right into my purse and now I don't look like a fool fumbling around for my coupons. No complaints.

 "Replaced my purse for everyday use" 2009-08-01
By Jane Smith (killeen, tx United States)
I used to think I was too young for coupons, but once I got into the hang of clipping and printing them, I needed something to organize them in. I chose this organizer/wallet and its great!! It is sturdy canvas (or something like that) and comes with 24 cardstock dividers and pre-printed category labels. You don't have to use them, but since they cover just about everything, I did. I can keep my cell phone and ID/cards in it as well, so I don't even bother lugging my purse around most of the time. This also attaches to your cart with a velcro strap, and the coupons don't fall out so all in all, a good buy.

 "Are you Losing or Winning the Grocery Game?" 2009-12-10
By Rebecca Johnson (Washington State)
Randall Putala is a coupon expert with a lot of wisdom to share. He includes copies of receipts in the back of the book that show how much money you can save when using coupons.



This book is really a wakeup call and dispels many myths about coupon usage. Randall Putala is like the coupon drill sergeant as he uses a lot of CAPS to make his points. For most of the first half of the book he spends time convincing readers that using coupons is a good idea, whether you are rich or poor. He even claims that Oprah uses coupons.



What is interesting about this particular book is the descriptions of typical shoppers and how they can change their strategy to save money.



For the last half of the book, Randall Putala spends time convincing the reader that cooking is fun and easy. He provides lots of recipes you can throw together in minutes. I think his method of cooking is easy and I can see why he thinks cooking is not work. On the other hand, cooking is work for most people and takes a lot of effort. First you have to spend hours collecting all the ingredients and then you have to spend more hours putting meals together from scratch. I easily spend an hour a day cooking meals, hours looking through cookbooks for new recipes, and spend a few hours clipping coupons.



One of the things I think Randall Putala is completely right about is his encouragement to try new products with new coupons. Recently I used a coupon for crackers I would not have purchased before and both my husband and I ended up loving them and now we buy them on every shopping trip even though we don't have another coupon for them.



So this book is filled with practical advice that will be appreciated by those who are new to coupon shopping. The author's main goal seems to be to lead the reader to "coupon nirvana," a place where you get a high from saving so much money it blows your mind.



While the author says you should throw away your expired coupons so you don't mistakenly use them and get yourself into trouble, I found out that you can donate expired coupons to military families. The coupons can be used six months after their expiration date.



After reading this book I am even more eager to save money with coupons. I will however not be giving up pre-grated cheese or organic milk anytime soon. I know they are more expensive but the convenience and taste are worth the price. It is possible to find coupons for organic milk these days and I used one earlier this month.

 "Not What I Expected" 2009-04-16
By T. Armstrong
I expected a book with new ways for me to save money on groceries but I found it filled with info I already knew and used. The only part I found helpful was how manufactures sale price their products as coupons are getting ready to expire. Maybe it would be a good book for someone who has never tried using coupons or has little experience with them but for someone like myself who is an avid user of coupons it provided me with little new info.

 "Terrific book that paid for itself" 2009-04-06
By annesailorgirl (Berrien Spgs, MI USA)
Rarely have I purchased a book that paid for itself within the first week of owning it. I read this book cover-to-cover by the 2nd day after it arrived. I like the idea of making cheaper groceries into something of a game, plus saving money. Usually I look for sales, or clip maybe 8-10 coupons a year, and then redeem 1-2 and lose the rest. This book has really helped me to organize. I've made out the envelopes and labeled them, as the author suggests. And now I've made it a particular challenge to look for items that I need (but not necessarily name-brand or loyal-brand items) that are both on sale, plus I have coupons for. In all of my shopping this weekend of combining sales with coupons, I saved an average of 50% or more, for over $100 in savings. There are a few simple concepts: stockpile cheaper items, look for sales plus use coupons.



The book starts with the example of a man who walks into a car dealership, and demands to pay full price for the car, with the sworn assurance that no one -- no one -- is paying more for their car than he is. Of course this is in comparison with food shopping which can be up to 20% of people's yearly pay -- why not try to find ways to reduce those costs? The author makes the interesting analogy of taking a $1 coupon and a $1 bill, and how would you feel about shredding both of them in the shredder? He says not to do this because it is illegal to destroy US money -- but the point is that they both can count as money. I loved this little book and I highly recommend it for anyone who eats and would like to save money eating.



Here's a quick rundown of the chapters:

1. What Color is Your Shopping Cart? (which of 5 types of grocery shoppers is most like you?)

2. The "7 Deadly Sins" (signs that you may be losing the "grocery game" -- such as your family is unhappy with the food you serve, you throw out food that you don't eat, people are hungry, binge snacking, etc)

3. Here's Your Sign (pitfalls for each of the grocery shopper types)

4. The "12 Steps to Recovery"

5. The Myths & Misconceptions of Store Coupons

6. Startegy & Tactics: How to Win the War for Your Wallet

7. Couponing Tactics: The Simplest Way to Organize Coupons (8 envelope categories and how to be organized)

8. The Currency vs. Coupon Litmus Test (what coupons are really worth)

9. Clubs, Cards & Counterintelligence (explains how frequent shopper cards really work)

10. The Power of Rebate Clubs, aka "Your Check's in the Mail"

11. A Rebate Returned is Money Earned

12. The Economics of Food

13. Smart Grocery Choices & Core Ingredients

14. Real Food, Real Cooking

15. A System for Cooking = A System for Savings

16. Quick-Cooking: The Secret to Happier, Healthier Meals

17. Planning Your Menus

18. Miscellaneous Cost Cutters

19. Online Coupon Hunting

20. Grocery Store Etiquette

21. Miscellaneous Time-Saving / Money-Saving Tips

 "Great Book!" 2009-04-02
By Mrs. Drd2000 (Va)
this book has many details that other books do NOT! If you are wanting to shrink your grocery bills...this book is one to have!!!! Author has a great sense of humor and kept the info interesting......

 "smart ideas, "insider" insight" 2008-11-24
By virginia e. rockford (Phoenix, AZ)
WOW. The author uses his experience in advertising to give a unique and valuable perspective on how to save money at the grocery. I'm a pretty smart shopper, but this book has definitely opened my eyes to a myriad of ways to save $$ that I had no clue of. Wish I'd read it sooner, I've been throwing money away and didn't even know. I can't imagine going back to my old grocery-store habits. Excellent text, funny as well! I want to re-read it but my coworkers keep lending it to one another. GRR, guess I'll have to buy another copy so I have one to read, one to lend.. haha.
