Jesse Watters asks: “What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?”

[UncleMark]

Agreed. Give me a list and I'm done in 45 mins door to door. Go with the wife and it's an afternoon.

We went together for a while after we first got married. Wife was new to the city and was getting a feel for the different places to shop, and we were still in our "hang out together all the time" phase. I got tired of it in a hurry. Soon enough, she was on her own, while I would go on my own to get my personal stash of junk food and lunches and whatever I wanted that she never bought.

She has since made it a sport, traveling all over town to buy specific stuff at specific stores on specific days. If I'm home when she gets back from one of her trips, I get to hear about all the deals she got and bargains she found. She'll even show me the ones she's most proud of.

I can't complain. She does well, buys smart, and doesn't complain about doing it. That latter comes from her thinking I'd fvck it up. She wouldn't even let me shop from her list after she had her knee surgery -- she ordered online and sent me to pick it up.

Damn. You described Mrs hooky. I have to smile and nod as she talks about her big wins.

"They took a store coupon AND a manufacturer coupon for that laundrydetergent? That's amazing!"

She wins big everyday when she comes home to you.

I have to play nice because she let's me go hunt and fish for a week at a time. A very tenuous, yet symbiotic relationship.

Dude! The wife used to do that extreme couponing and was killin it! In a matter of 3-4 months, we had a inventory of so much stuff. Probably $3,000 of goods that she spent maybe $500 on.
Either way, I am not going to miss her.

Answer: the kind that isn't always worrying about what other men think about them.

Also: men who aren't going to die alone b/c of their little hang ups.

Answer: a man that wants to get laid that night.

I went once and have not been asked to go again. It must be my lovely attitude.

 

[DANC]

I owed them $108 which I never paid b/c it was bullshit. Who won bitches?

Psshhht. Amateur. The Columbia Record Club could go back in business if they collected what I owe them.

I was a BMG thief

I was a BMG thief

Loved BMG CD deals. I'd do one for my apartment address, parents address, dad's office, girlfriend's address, grandparents, etc. I actually bought the required CD's but got like 100+ CD's for the price of 5. Still have most of them.

I only go to buy beer and booze. Maybe specialty items if I’m cooking something up. In the summer the local Kroger put cases a beer up front. I could walk in, grab a case, scan out in like 2 minutes.

 

[bailey777]

The kind of husband who wants Red Meat, pringles, beer, and everything else that is unhealthy.

My wife knows what I want. Maybe not pringles but the red meat oh yes.

 

[Mark Milton]

Both of us hate to shop and so no way we both go.

We more or less take turns and have a list ahead of time of what we need, to get in and get out. We make a list of everything we need for meals that week, though that's probably more on my wife, 80/20, to make the list. If it were 100% up to her then everything would be vegetarian, so I have to have some input!

I cook on weekends, she cooks MOST weekdays, since I get home late.

I'm a type 1 diabetic---I do my own shopping because of that, and I generally cook on the weekends for the rest of the week. No issues shopping with her--she goes fast and I don't screw around, but we buy different stuff. Plus, going alone means I get to hide the discretionary expenditures I make. Perhaps a $100 dollar amazon gift card that I load walking out to the parking lot. Or a few books. Itunes gift card.

At heart, no issues shopping with her, but I enjoy the pleasure of doing a bit of grifting in my marriage. 😉

My buddy says he loves shopping with his woman, says she's an angel.
I said. So was Satan.

I love to go grocery shopping with my wife. I cause one huge problem. I keep stacking stuff in the cart that’s not on her grocery list and then I whine about the bill at checkout. 😂

 

[stollcpa]

And Jesse Waters can GFH dissing men that grocery shop with their wives.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

I'm actually the main cook in the home, so I do the grocery shopping.

If she did it, she'd start on Monday and call on Wednesday to tell me she's half way done and she'll be home soon.

I've always got snacks and drinks on hand.

I'm a fat guys best friend.
