Author's Notes: This is for Mackenzie Davis' "I'd Read Your Grocery List" Challenge which you can find out more about here:

I realise it's not solely grocery lists, but I went with a more broader shopping list type thing. Hope that's okay, Mackenzie?

Anyway...yeah. That's all I'm going to say about this. It was a lot of fun...fun? Is that the right word...considering what I produced? I'll let you decide.

As always, appreciate and love the engagement, interaction and the fact that anyone bothers to read my stuff!

If you're interested, here are a few of my most recently published things:
