While Iโ€™ve never taken my husband to task for only buying three lemons instead of the dozen I requested (โ€œWho asks for a dozen lemons anyway?โ€), I have to confess that I avoid sending him to the grocery store becauseโ€ฆwell, whatever he gets is usually wrong.

So when I saw this reusable grocery bag
from CMP fave Twisted Twee, I felt like it was made just for me. Or
actually, just for my husband. Hand printed on washable cotton,
โ€œWhatever I get, it will be wrongโ€ is absolutely right.

I think
Iโ€™ll buy it and stash it in his car. Then Iโ€™ll call to ask him to pick
up a gallon of milk on his way home and point him to his new bag.
Hopefully heโ€™ll be laughing too hard to pick up the usual impulse buys
that drive me crazy. -Julie

  1. this is too funny! iโ€™m so glad iโ€™m not alone, my husband drives me crazy with what he gets (and doesnt get) at the store.

    and from his sideโ€ฆ he sent me to the store with this list last snow day:

  2. Very funny.:-) That saying on the grocery bag is pretty hilarious; just perfect for my husband also.:-) I will certainly look into the link you provided and purchase one for myself. Thanks.:-)

  3. This is awesome. I can send my husband to the store with a list, with ounces, brands and prices AND the sale ad with the pictures of the itemsโ€ฆ and he will come home with less than half the correct items. Now, I just do most of the shopping. He does the errand runsโ€ฆ like when we are out of bread or eggs. No more detailed lists.

    I so agree, the detailed lists are a waste of my time for the exact reason printed on that bag that was made for my guy too. If he is trying to โ€˜chip inโ€™ and โ€˜be helpfulโ€™ by going to the store I try my hardest to bite my toung and smile while I help unload the three boxes of Life cereal, the four bags of peanut butter pretzels and wasabi peas, and the organic bananas, as if the over priced organic bananas were going to even it all out. My response next time he offers to โ€˜pitch inโ€™ by going shopping, โ€œhow about cleaning the toilets instead, that would be a HUGE helpโ€!
