I don't like sending my husband to the store because he buys EVERYTHING. He likes to try new stuff so he ends up spending twice as much as I expected with food I don't know how to cook. But he does bring home the one thing I asked him to. There’s a rice shortage? hmmm, I should think of stocking up too, maybe next week.

I love the extra points with multiples. YES, I also get the refried beans rather than soup and so on. I really like the neighbor's system of pinning the list to his shirt. I wish I could see her boyfriend during his shopping trip. he he Franny, this is hilarious. I love the extra points with multiples. YES, I also get the refried beans rather than soup and so on.

Holly, what I do is write a list on paper. It should be very clear though, everything itemized, down to the brand and size (and sometimes even the description of the packaging). Of course, my husband will end up buying something NOT on the list and at the same time, MISS something on the list. I remember my dad being the same way... The way I see it, though, I am quite thankful that I can ask the hubby to go out and do the groceries from time to time. ;) Wow Bianka you are indeed lucky! Holly, what I do is write a list on paper.

I want to fool myself into thinking that this isn't true. But it clearly is. I assumed ALL husbands kind of made mistakes when going to the store. Instead, I learned that there is a husband (yours) who makes better shopping lists than ME. WOW. Bianka, I am totally speechless. I want to fool myself into thinking that this isn’t true.
