Not necessarily.  Read as follows: Husband's exclamation point! These [items hereby referred to] are (i.e. belong to) the 9x13's [which said 9x13s] your wife sent you to get.
If you don't care why would you comment?

There's still a mistake. Let's see if you can find it :)

How much are they?
Probably anywhere between 3 and 6 for a $1. Why?

Found it. Either this
Not necessarily.  Read as follows: Husband's exclamation point! These [items hereby referred to] are (i.e. belong to) the 9x13's [which said 9x13s 9x13] your wife sent you to get.
or this
Not necessarily.  Read as follows: Husband's exclamation point! These [items hereby referred to] are (i.e. belong to) the 9x13s' [which said 9x13s] your wife sent you to get.
would be correct.

There should be no apostrophes in that sentence.

What are the cards?
The muni meter prints a ticket that you display saying you paid and until what time you can be parked there..
This guy put tons of old expired ones there to confuse/play with the meter maid! Chances are if it's real he probably just got a ticket!

Please explain.
husbands is a simple plural why the apostrophe?
9x13(')s might be explained as a number to letter thing but still not possessive so no real need for an apostrophe

They are not the husband's 9x13s until after he buys them and he is definitely not the 9x13's husband.

@netantnel
@smurf
@aygart

When you say that there should be no apostrophes in the sentence, IF you are ignoring @good sam's post and simply commenting on the picture of the sign in the supermarket in Lakewood, you are absolutely correct. But if you read @good sam's post (which @netantnel certainly did), then you would understand that @good sam has discovered a clever way to understand the sentence in a grammatically correct way WITHOUT making any changes to it. @netantnel then commented that even with  @good sam's explanation, there is still one mistake. I then offered my opinion as to what that mistake was.
Based on your susequent comments, it seems that @good sam's clever post completely flew over your heads. I implore you to go back and reexamine it, with the hope that this time you will grasp his meaning.
The husband owns an exclamation point. This exclamation point is being addressed enthusiastically. The word "these" refers to items that are unseen and unidentified. The husband's exclamation point is being informed that "these" items are owned by the 9x13. Which 9x13? The one that the exclamation point's wife sent him to get.
That's all.
