Advertising Age columnist Lenore Skenazy wrote a wonderful piece on “Milk Eggs Vodka.” It was a lot of fun talking with her because she was very interested in the brands and customer profiles behind all of my found grocery lists — and that’s an angle I haven’t given much thought (compared to the amount of [...]
A couple weeks ago I did an interview with Sara Porter of St. Louis’ ‘West End Word.’ The issue just came out and I have to admit that it’s so well put together that even I couldn’t wait to read what I said!
The lists in the book are arranged in many different categories such as [...]
Jeff Houck, the food writer at the Tampa Tribune, has started a podcast for TBO.com called Table Conversations — and I’m pleased to be the first victim guest. ;-)

The Oklahoman has decided that reading Milk Eggs Vodka this summer is a good idea. I agree!
A whimsical book that promises to provide much amusement is “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found” (HOW Books, $19.95) by Bill Keaggy, who has collected grocery lists from around the world. Keaggy believes such lists can reveal [...]
Here’s a column in Georgia’s Gwinnett Daily Post about my site and the book:
…when I stumbled upon the Web site Grocerylists.org, I was ecstatic. The site features a collection of images of 1,600 discarded shopping lists that people found just about anywhere — left in shopping carts, dropped in parking lots. The first time I [...]
I’m en route back to STL from PDX via ABQ so here’s a PDQ excerpt from the June issue of the BookPage nonfiction reviews:
If you’ve ever laughed at those of us compulsive enough to shred our grocery lists, you’ll think again after reading Bill Keaggy’s Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found. Keaggy, who [...]
Check out this fun (and clever) article by Jeff Houck of the Tampa Tribune. He wrote a story about me and my book, “Milk Eggs Vodka,” in the form of a list! It’s featured on the front of the food section, Flavor. An excerpt:
Introduce Bill Keaggy. (A St. Louis newspaper photo editor and married father [...]
On June 14 at 7 p.m. I’m going to be doing a “Milk Eggs Vodka” reading (reading?! performance?! presentation?! signing?!) at the excellent Left Bank Books in St. Louis, Missouri. What to expect? Hmmm. I’m not quite sure, but it should be fun. Goofy grocery lists galore! I’ll even sign you book if you want, [...]
I talked to Chad Garrison of the Riverfront Times here in St. Louis last week. Here’s the Q&A:

Pop City is a publication of the School of Communications Design Studies at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Carly Koshman interviewed me, Found Magazine’s Davey Rothbart and artist Blair Brennan for the third issue of the text/image/design magazine.
Ever since i discovered Found Magazine, the discarded items of strangers have fascinated me… Bill Keaggy [...]
Well, it’s a mention at least:
For years, Keaggy collected grocery lists that had been tossed away by shoppers. He sorted through them and offers the best from different categories (funny, healthful, sad, upscale and so on).
A couple weeks ago I did an email interview with Associated Content producer, Donna T. Here it is!
If you’ve ever made a shopping list and accidentally left it in the shopping cart, or gasp, littered your list, it very well could have been made public. In 1999 blogger and webmaster Bill Keaggy put his personal [...]
St. Louis Magazine calls me one of the “13 St. Louisans Who Are Redefining Cool” in their June 2007 “Cool Issue,” based in part on my book, “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found,” and in some other part on my various online exploits. Hooray!
But I guess I’m so cool you can only check [...]
