Men helping with the groceries

what time?

Anytime you'll get a shock

I see that Janine has told you all about my shopping hadits.
I cant handle not going, Janine did it a couple of months ago with out me and it was like she did it all wrong.
Ok now I can see why she has started calling me a women.

My hubby is a mess at groceries. We always spend more if he is there. When he goes on his own - even with a list - he spends waaaaaaaayyyyyy more that I ever would and when he takes Christopher OMG!! I can just picture them dancing and singing down the aisles putting everything in their trolley, overjoyed that stingy mum isn't there to keep them in check.

Just to get milk and bread he is great. But get some biscuits ect as well usually.

For a big shop I will never ever sent him on his own. He will be there 10 minutes and come back and say it was overcrowded or he couldnt find the stuff on the list. He hates shopping.

But about once a month he will come with me and push the trolley and keep bubs busy for me. and yip I do stick to my list but at the same time he will usually get a treat as well like marsmallows or something like that and McKayla get something like a muffin. For being my two behaved kids.

My DH only gets what is on the list.. and a few extra goodies, but when I go shopping I get the things he has missed or what I think we need!

I am really lucky - DH hates the supermarket, but he will go if I give him a list. In fact he volunteers as he knows how stressful I find it at the moment. He is fantastic....he will always get the brand I like, and if they dont have it he will call to check that another brand is okay. Very well trained I think! He doesnt buy extras either, but will sometimes buy me a 'treat'...very sweet.

He always helps me unload the shopping and put it away as well....

Gosh I am a lucky girl!!

If Daniel goes by himself I have to right a very very detailed list (brand, flavour, colour etc) and he just doesnt know how much to get, like meat, no way near enough. And he gets beer!

DH hates grocery shopping with a pashion when he does have to come he winges and mones if i take too long looking for a cheeper alternative. we always spend heaps more because i am not aloud to look for the cheep stuff and get stuff on special we have to be in and out as fast as posiable. if i did send him by himself he would get every thing on the list and he would probally only add beer.
