Exactly what we needed...$467.00 of

[Mirielle]

pure crap! DH went to the grocery store before I was awake this morning and had himself a good 'ole time. He pointed out (very happily) that we have a box of "something" that makes a COMPLETE MEAL...all you have to do is add water. In the pantry, box after box of stuff that looks like "bog" lines the shelves. Can after can of beans of every kind. We rarely eat beans. Spam, Vienna Sausages and sauces of every kind. For what??? Frozen dinners that are off brands I wouldn't have paid a dime for, all kinds of meats and cheeses from the deli...not stuff you'd like, no! Experiments... just to see if we'll like it. Rather than a ring for his birthday (asked about it here), maybe golf clubs or a bowling ball would be better. Anything to keep him out of the grocery store.

This made me laugh out loud.

 

[stsomewhere]

sounds like my husband.

$467 from the grocery store? Damn, I don't spend half that much in a Costco trip (and I've been accused of buying crap there that we don't need )

 

[usnuzuloose]

I spend that much for 3 months of groceries for 2 of us.

 

[mombrontrent]

That's about a week and a half worth of food for my family

 

[punkin]

I just spent that at Costco, but I bought a new set of pots and pans and furnace filters in addition to food.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Dang. That's almost a month's worth of groceries for my family.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

HAHA someone wants to make sure you NEVER send him to the grocery story again.

 

[lynxstch]

I would revoke his shopping privileges, lol!

 

[RangerPooh]

That sounds like my husband.

 

[HarperLeigh]

Damn. And ewww. That is my entire budget for a months worth of greceries!

 

[hereyago]

And he would be either taking that stuff back or he would be fixing it and eating it alone.

And this is why I tell DH play hockey 3 nights a week

Except in this case, it sounds like he did this all on his own.

 

[disykat]

I will never again complain when DH brings home fish sticks from the grocery store. At least it's just a bag or two!

I think I'd be too tempted to use the golf clubs or bowling ball for uses other than their intended purpose if they were made available. Is this a one-time thing, or is it something more serious?

Reminds me of this story

Jeanne Robertson "Don't send a man to the grocery store!"

 

[anniemae]

OMG you NEVER let men go grocery shopping alone. They always go rogue. If they insist, they must take a list and stick to it. Sigh.....what are you having for dinner tonight? Spam and beans???? LOL!!!

 

[TheIncredibles!]

My husband took over the grocery shopping to prove a point to me years ago. I allowed him to think he proved his point and told him he should keep doing the grocery shopping. He agreed.....lol. Needless to say every week is a thrill that I chuckle over when he come home declaring "I had an idea for dinner". Dude, stick to the list...nope. His "ideas" usually go like this. "I had a great dinner idea, French onion soup. I got the beef broth, the cheese and some great bread." No onions. Or he had a craving for meatloaf and got every single item I needed right down to eggs and fresh parsley but forgets the ground beef..... I haven't been grocery shopping since I believe 2005 so I really don't care what DH brings home or doesn't bring home.
