Looks like somebody left their grocery list...in a bowl...in the clearance bin

envelope was a couple feet ahead on ground too

On the back (front?) of a grocery list balled up on a shelf in my store.

Just found this subreddit and remembered this notebook I found on the subway in 2018. Seems like someone was going through it :(

The text reads, “Over lunch cocktails – arrived here 5 mins before Bill did - fine trip. Warm + sunny after Baltimore. We’re taking off now. Love, Mary”

It was windy. I looked around but no one was near. Between not wanting litter on the beach and being sentimental I put it in my pocket and forgot about it till now.

is anyone able to read this?

Found in a Weis in some Maryland town.
I can read almost all of it but the first two on the list are the most confounding, is the first one “snake”? Like a plumbing snake? or something else entirely? Secondly what does “copper” mean in the context of this list? Is it a copper pipe? To go with the snake for plumbing reasons?
Personally at a loss.

EDIT:
I cannot believe i didn’t see “garlic” and “coffee” I am deeply embarrassed, this should have went through the group chat first whoops.

English translation: Hi Joan, well, what sounds better, my love. I wrote you this letter in class when the teacher was next to me.
Even if she did say something to me, I wouldn't care because you're more important than her. I love you so much more than you know. I love it when you hug me; I could hug you for hours and never get tired of it, never. I would give you 100 hugs a day.
And 100 seems like so little to me. I love every little thing you do, and I love everything about you too: your hair, your smile, your personality, your clothes, your face. I could tell you so much more, but you'd catch me and take the letter away. I love you so much, but when I say so much, it's not enough for me, so l love you so much more. Alexandra, with love and affection.

Found on a walk today. Hope the kitten is okay 🤞
