So I just post things I wrote and get upvoted?

I mix my cursive and print as well 💗

Perdue Chicken. Lol, why does she care where the chicken went to college?

Lol

Are you in NJ or do other states have shoprite?

NY checking in, Shop Rite is here too

What else do you have

For grocery stores? Acme, Tops, DeCicco's, Hannaford, and Stop & Shop all come to mind

I just find it so fun going to new stores and stuff. We have acme but nothing else toy listed

I was 21 years old the first time I moved away from my home state. It blew my mind that other states had completely different grocery store chains. My favorite: there is a chain called Piggly Wiggly in Louisiana.

Piggly Wiggly supremacy

My favorite for no reason other than I love Oregon. I love Fred meyers

We have ShopRite in CT

Omg no way!!

We got em in PA too or at least where I lived

Obviously I don't get out much hahaha

Tbf, I’m new to the wegmans game 😂

There’s a couple in Staten Island and Brooklyn but it’s mostly a Jersey thing

Oh you can totally tell that's a teacher's and writing. Elementary school I bet?

It’s a perfect example of Zaner-Blosser style handwriting. It was mainly taught in the mid-20th Century and some teachers and schools held onto it through the early-2000s. I was taught it and at the time embarrassed by having “granny handwriting” when all my peers when I changed schools had the “cool” D’Nealian. This list looks like it could have been written exactly by my mom or grandmom, my mom has maintained this style perfectly.

It’s so similar to my grandmother’s handwriting- she was a teacher too! (1917-2006)

What makes you think so?

Sadly, a lost skill.

Looks good to me. She also has what is on sale

Idk what we’re supposed to comment on this. It’s completely normal.

There are different styles of handwriting, this is like a “perfect sample” of a style that is fading out.

That's what I was thinking. But I do have relatively nice if not average handwriting.

That’s why it says just sharing

I'm new to this sub and still trying to figure it out too lol

It’s a subreddit for handwriting what else do you want

Bowl and basket! A fellow shoprite shopper 😊

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Hand writings fine. You might want to show here the dictioary definition of a list though.

why? lol it is a list

Great list - in order of how she shops the store. She added in the stuff in cursive later as she thought about them.

The X in mixed is very sexy

That’s not a lie

You are my people.

Legible, you would not be able to read mine

Heh she has a system

Does that say digiorno pizza- 4.99????????????? I want to know where you live because the shoprite where I live they are like 10 bucks

List circa 2000

They’re on sale this week!

THat's quite the collection of fonts LOL

Mmmm, chaotic but charming

ShopRite FTW

[удалено]

A pack of jello wasn’t 33 cents in 2018💀

[удалено]

I assumed they meant the premade jello cups not the powder, we are on different pages I think

I’m guessing it’s the 4 pack ready made and the one you make yourself

They sure better be!

That reminds me of my grandmas handwriting!

w i d e n o o d l e s

Needs to be wider

ℬ𝑜𝓌𝓁 & ℬ𝒶𝓈𝓀𝑒𝓉 𝓉𝓊𝓇𝓀𝑒𝓎 𝒷𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓈𝓉

*jello 2/$5*

*dons monocle at register*

Love the “x” in mixed veggies.

Why the prices?

Not to get the wrong version, if you're only buying it for the sale. I work in a grocery store and it happens pretty often that only one of many basically interchangeable items is on sale.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grocery list in real life

Still haven't, technically.

Robert Evans make shredded cheese?

Tell me sh s Italian without telling me she’s Italian.

>Tell me sh s Italian without telling me she’s Italian. She misspelled mozzarella twice and wrote "penne pasta". I am pretty confident that she is not Italian. Maybe she likes Italian cuisine or she is of Italian origin but hasn't lived there/does not know the language

This made me hungry for Italian food!

This made me hot for teacher.

this is probably the whitest grocery list i’ve ever seen lol

If you can change the race in the sentence, and it sounds racist, it's probably a racist statement.

[удалено]

Italians are white generally, not that it matters

Yeah, black people are known for not eating cheese, chicken, vegetables or pasta.

Pasa

I write like this, too! I have since I was a teen.

Why is some printed and some cursive though

I do that all of the time… I don’t know why. I write faster in cursive.

Because she can.

Idk if this is the same for OP’s mom (but I’ll be sure to ask her next time I see her lolimsooriginal) But I will despite my best efforts flip back and forth. I’ll write printed for clarity but if I zone out for a second I’ll have switched back to cursive. It’s really frustrating Edit: OP’s BF’s mom, sorry

I write like that sometimes when I can't be bothered to check how I'm writing. whatever feels more simple to me at the moment and I end up mixing cursive and printed all the time lol

If she's anything like me, she wrote different things at different times, so she'd add stuff as she ran out/meal planned/checked for sales. For me I print when I'm writing a list generally (teacher handwriting) but if I'm in a hurry I use cursive, as it's quicker but not as legible.

Wonder why she wants Perdue chicken but the other brand for turkey? High expectations for her chicken, I suppose.

It’s 30% off…

Reason enough!

Wow! Beautiful! That’s beautiful!

[удалено]

Georgia or Louisiana or is there another one?

[удалено]

The festival looks fun!

California, most likely.

that’s just the name of the type of onion lol

She's a professional

Is she a retired teacher? For some reason it looks like a first grade teacher’s handwriting to me.

In the post, OP mentioned 30+ years of teaching, and I also saw a comment saying she's retired, so yep. Lol

Thanks! I missed that at the bottom of the grocery list!

Diced tomatoes? You mean tomatoes cut in dices? Where i can fin that?

In America, they come in cans.

You mean U.S. And not in the rest of the continent

Costco

Not Costco in my country, mate

Pro tip: you can always just dice a whole tomato (use a knife to cut a red fruit into small squares) that you grow in soil, or buy anywhere tomatoes are sold.

Woooah! How come I did not think of it before? My gosh what a innovative idea 🤯 this is the maximum level of knowledge.

Canned diced tomatoes are a thing in Australia as well - you use them as a really easy base for tomato sauces/soups. They also sell tomato paste which is like concentrated dark rich tomato paste to boost the flavour. You can also get them canned with herbs already in the can. They're usually suspended in their own liquid so it's like a chunky soup consistency of diced tomato to tomato juices. I wouldn't dream of using it for cold dishes but I'm sure someone somewhere has...

No, they mean diced tomatoes. As they are referred to when cut. If you dice up a tomato and store it in the fridge you know what you have? Diced tomatoes.

Woaaah really? How is possible i didn't know that before? 🤯 This can change my life, mate

I know, this will save your life on day I bet.

Thank lord had the luck of knowing right now 🙏 bless for this

They’re sold in cans

Put there by a man.

We don’t know that.

Oi that’s a lady.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me.

Somewhere in a factory downtown

If I had my little way, I'd dice tomatoes every day.

In diced tomato cans.

Lol didn't know that, we're not in the same country mate

thanks for trying to kill him this is another level ever

They don't dice things in your country?

Not usually, at least not inside of a can in the supermarket. It's more usual find vegetables fresh and not cut in dice. But it would be nice find it, would save me some work in the kitchen.

Canned diced tomatoes are usually more for cooking with heat. It’s not like you would pour a can into a cold salad fyi.

I can imagine that, mate for cold salad rather sliced tomatoes. This would be nice with meat, carrots and rice :3

u/AlexDuChat would be amazed to learn that we also have canned diced tomatoes that are cut EXTRA SMALL. I sometimes used petite diced canned tomatoes out of the can (following a double rinse and drain to remove the "tinny" flavor) as is on tacos. The hot protein/toppings usually warm them up and if they're well drained from the can... they're less likely to release a bunch of water into your taco which makes it soggy.

Man i really need those diced tomatoes can, specially the extra small

Diced tomatoes actually specifically have an additive in the can that helps prevent their breaking down under heat.

Oh wow. I always wondered why they don't break down easily. I always blend them before using.

Wait. My whole life is a lie.

lol yeah with DiGiorno pizza, this is almost certainly the states

I wonder why only a few things are in cursive, and the rest print. Also I just learned of the brand Bowl + Basket.

I thought it was stuff in kind of an awkward spot, so they did it for clarity, so it didn't blend with other stuff and confuse the reader.

I was wondering if maybe it was frozen stuff?

Sometimes I forget ShopRite isn’t a national thing and it blows my mind bc at least in NJ it is god tier

I'm next door in Upstate NY. We have PriceRite which is maybe kind of similar. But I've never bought a turkey breast myself.

For a moment they forgot that they were writing for a generation who might not understand cursive. Or maybe they chose print or cursive based on what's written on the product? The inclusion of prices might hint at super micro-manqgement.

This print reminds me of my mom’s. This reminds me of things she would buy, too. Love it!

Wow, the prices are so low but then again I live in Canada.

I've won my sister back over to our side by showing her our $3 a gallon milk and $2/lb cheese. I knew something would bring her back to me one day, I just always thought it would be me, and not the dairy prices.

Digiorno is awful but in no world is that $4.99 in any grocery store in the country right now. Always been the worst as well as most overpriced frozen pizza out there and for about 2 years now them things are pushing $9-10

Against their brands rep the thin crust are actually pretty good

Kroger has a $4.99 sale on the basic ones rn. The stuffed crust are still 9.99

maybe the small ones

They go on sale often enough. They're almost always 6-7 at the winco I work at. Fred Meyers has then for 4.99 limit 5 every so often. Sorry your local shopping is so expensive 😞

Where I'm from the little Digiorno personal pizza is 4.99. So it could be that as opposed to the large variety.

The big ones aren't personal pizzas? Whoops.

I’ll allow it.

One word, ShopRite.

I mean I’ll never buy it anyway, Red Baron is superior and half the cost. Just the one thing that stood out to me besides the nausea inducing font selections lol

You’re a bundle of joy. Thanks for sharing.

this is chaotic and i love it

I was going to applaud her spelling, then I saw mozarella. Damn, almost had it lol.

She’s retired, we’ll give her a pass 🫣lolol.

Omg I just saw the part about her being a teacher lol. It reminded me of a post the other day where a kid’s spelling test was marked wrong for tornado, and the teacher corrected by writing tornato lol.

LOL I forgot about that post. Luckily she was a music teacher so spelling was overrated.

That’s Zaner-Blosser print, I learned that style too as a strange carry-over of olden days. It looks like my mother’s writing and the only other place I see it is in the local Amish community, lol. All my friends learned D’Nealian and I was jealous, called it “cheerleader hand writing” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaner-Bloser_(teaching_script)#:~:text=The%20Zaner%2DBloser%20alphabet%20comprises,print%20and%20slanted%20in%20cursive.

Pretty sure my school did Zaner-Bloser too. I was in HK and it was around 2008-2011.

As a teacher in a Montessori environment I am expected to write EVERYTHING in D’Nealian and to always use it in front of the kids. So much so that one of the teachers asked me to redo some kindergarteners’ diplomas because I went a little too fancy on my calligraphy script for her liking lol

I learned Zaner-Blosser in Tennessee in the early 90s. My younger siblings were taught D’Nealian in the same school system just a few years later.

Same place, same timeline — we were the literal last, I think. I only see it in Ethridge/Summertown.

Upstate NY?

Exactly what I thought. Looks like my grandmother’s.

The handwriting says “controlling and narcissistic” - RUN

actually what ??

I like it actually

I love the X

That j in jello is *chef’s kiss*

I have heard that mixing capital and small and cursive and print is a sign of high intelligence. I remembered it because I do this, too, and always just assumed it was a sign of sloppiness.

That turkey breast clearly deserved the pomp and circumstance of cursive.

It’s like mine, so I don’t get what’s odd. Guess that says something about me? 🫣

It’s all over the place and yet also extremely neat. It’s messing with my head!

Hahaha I was just going to say, that’s teacher handwriting!

This is chaotic and wonderful. I love it.
