So yall shop together. I hate to go with my husband. We walk in and he hands me his watch and wants to know how long I need and where to meet him. Anything over 45 minutes pains him. It used to be 30 minutes but I was always late:') Then it's very stressful for him at the check out. It's much healthier for him if he doesn't know what I buy or how much I spend.:') EX: "I thought we were on a diet" "don't we already have some of this at home?" "I don't know why you buy all this food. You know you aren't going to cook" "How much have you put on AE this month?You will be crying like a baby when you have to give me your check to pay YOUR bill next month" and my favorite "didn't you just buy groceries last week"? :')

I'm much worse at home depot though. Ex: "More tools? You have some you haven't even opened yet" "If you would let me organize your garage you wouldn't have to keep buying things" "Are you about ready to go?" "This place is so boring" :')

Well, I need to go grocery shopping with my wife or else she'll come home all grouchy from having to do it herself (and frankly, I don't blame her).

And, if I let her get away from me in one of the big stores, ... I might not see her again for half an hour or so. It's definitely to my advantage to help her get the items she wants.

She can have a hard time making decisions (between brand names ... for example) too, ... so, a lot of the time, I can shortcut that process.

As for the hardware store (Lowes is my favorite), she can only tolerate so much before she's at her wits end.

For her ... its just the amount of time I spend there ... but, I gues that it makes up for the grocery store.
