Well off went hubby with a shopping list. Couldn’t find things in the shop even though list was done isle by isle he ended up on FaceTime with me directing like a game show ( I’m good) unpacking shopping things not on the list bought
1) 50 Tunnocks tea cakes
2) large trifle
3) 2 packs of 16 4 bar kitkats
4) double pack mint clubs
5)8 mint magnum ice creams
6) 3 extra large Easter eggs
None of which I ever buy🙄 when questioned his reply I bought them for you
Mmm his argument doesn’t stand . He bought 30 last week saying they are for you. I don’t like them I told my husband... barely eaten all week and not 1 passed my lips.. now 50 !!! 😂
Sounds like a virtual edition of Supermarket Sweep....maybe these extras were bonus buys. As for Tunnocks....don't mind if I do! I like the coconut covered ones best.
No I don't think they are around as much. When we were young my aunt used to come to our house for a bath as she had no bathroom, and she always brought packets of biscuits. The coconut ones included. She worked as a cashier in the local co-op. She didn't need to bring anything it was always nice to see her. So I've enjoyed them a long time!
That sounds delightful! Glad my hubby wouldn’t bring them home to me! When he went shopping, he brought me M&Ms and himself a HUGE bag of salt water taffy! 😂
Strewth! Do I diabetes calling? That's an awful lot of sugar but, oooh, I'd love some
Yep sounds like my hubby when he went shopping he came back with 2 enormous easter eggs and my face clearly said why? Re packaging and so large.....If I want to buy my wife and I an easter egg I will was his response. Underneath them was another layer of crap then all the veggies and fruit and stuff I had requested!
He is shielding too and we have no one close(parents elderly and rest of family 2-3hrs away) so one of us has to go out! He has no spleen and no antibiotics due to being done as a 2yr old.
He is incredibly careful and he goes in vulnerable slots which are very quiet in a huge supermarket.
I’m in the same position. I cannot get a online shopping slot spend hours everyday even the vulnerable ones are impossible. If my husband doesn’t shop we have no food. We take every precaution..
choose a time when let’s the least busy . We rang and asked the store.
He’s armed with gloves and disinfectant.
Food is left outside where I and my son are gloved up . We wash disinfect and dry everything.
Husband strips at the door clothes straight in the washing machine.He showers.
Not ideal but when you have no other option what do you do?
The difference is you both haven’t been told to shield. Deeb and her husband both have. Neither should be going out. There are other options than supermarket shopping too it’s been discussed at length on here.
Very thoughtful of him, he obviously wants to make his nearest and dearest as happy as he can during this difficult time....just a typical bloke really!
Thankfully my husband hasnt come back with such stuff but like you he goes out with a list but I still have to talk him through it.Also,if they havent got the exact item he struggles to think of an alternative so has to check!I mustn't complain though,I appreciate what he's
