Things that make you go ewwww...

Usually I do the shopping for our household, but since I'm off the road, Dazza has to drive me to the supermarket. This weekend just gone was our first one going grocery shopping together for ages, and I now remember why I usually avoid taking him along.

Aden was pushing the trolley (cart) for me, and I was working through my list. Meanwhile, Dazza keeps wandering off and coming back with all sort of weird things for the trolley. Things like 30 cent noodles. Ewwwww yuck. Seafood extender. Ewwww yuck even more. Homebrand fish sticks. yucko.

I know he's trying to economise in a way, but mostly it's because he actually likes eating those things.

That's the biggest Ewwww of all for me.

eta: I managed to explain to him that the $3 frozen pizza was a waste of money and he should just get a bag of flat bread and I'd make him one that tasted better and would be more nutricious...for the same price!

And how is this form of shopping more restful for you? next time, either be in the trolley and have them push you, or make a shopping list with cut 'n' paste pics of the exact products and stay home with a tub of ice cream.

lol....That wouldn't work. It's better that I'm there to control things to some degree ie frozen pizza

It was pretty funny really. Made me laugh. I asked Dazza if he was stocking up for when I'm in hospital, because none of that shit will be heated or eaten when I'm in the house.

I completely feel your pain. I try to keep Mr. Clod out of the grocery store at all costs. It's torture to have him wandering around with me, but it's even worse to send him alone and see all the impulse buys he comes back with.

Crikey, CLassic, you mean you still haven't figured out how to get out of doing the shopping?

I bet you do a good job of washing the dishes, too. Sucker!

Heels or not, any man who cleans of his own free will gets my vote.

not freewill - must be done and there is no "other" to do it.

However, when there was, I still did most of it.

Grocery shopping is best enjoyed as a solo endeavor, imho. I don't care who does it, but two people is one too many people.
