grocery shopping is an either xshub or i proposition, not the two of us together. NEVER. and him only if it is something specific that i need and he can get on the way home like bread or milk. he CANNOT grocery shop. he will go on about how much $$$$ i spend at the grocery store and i remember the time he went and did THE SHOPPING. he came home with three oranges in a bag. no wonder he spent less money, he shopped enough for a SINGLE DAY. i have 3 kids, 3 oranges would serve 3 kids at a single meal in a single day. RME. he can buy specific items, but that is it.

I feel for you.

Hubby has become a firm believer in my way of shopping - list and coupons and store flyer. he is shocked at how much I can reduce a a grocery bill - and loves to brag about the $200 bill I can reduce to less than $100.

while I'm not looking forward to it - I am hoping to be able to do a big shopping this weekend.

My hubby isn't allowed to get anything but the bread, milk or coffee any more, either. The few times he "helped" by grocery shopping because I had to work late, he came home with large bags of pretzels, beer, microwave popcorn, frozen pizza and pistachio nuts. Which adds up to plenty of fat and carbohydrates, but no real nutritional value otherwise, so he just can't do it any more.
