Does that make me a control freak? Ack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-595585 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:35:36 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 595585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! He's a better shopper than I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-595581 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:31:28 +0000 spaniellove 595581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's pretty good; I list brand names and he gets everything right. He even got 100% at the Korean market (he's not Korean) and threw in a bonus kimbap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-595504 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:06:25 +0000 MamaMagpie 595504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is usually pretty good! Sometimes he'll admit he bought the "regular" apples instead of the organic ones because he just thinks they are ridiculously over-priced, but he knows that's the one thing I'm kind of particular on! Oh well, I'm lucky he will do the shopping at all :) And I'm right there with you @babyboecksmom: I'm usually the one who will completely forget an item or two (even if it's on the list)!</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: that made me laugh out loud! So funny and sweet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-595503 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:06:25 +0000 immabeetoo 595503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and he calls with questions which is nice but its easier to just go myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-595468 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:56:18 +0000 MrsTiz 595468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you guys get your husbands to go shopping alone?

He is getting better with buying things on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-595364 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:23:29 +0000 keiki_mama 595364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say bring home cucumbers and he will bring home zucchinis.

He has been doing all the grocery shopping lately and so long as I give him specifics (size, brand, sometimes shoving it in front of his face while telling him to "memorize this!") he always gets it perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565574 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:36:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 565574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He needs a list (with brand names and sizes) but other than that he's good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565545 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:28:48 +0000 mole 565545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565495 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:14:02 +0000 wheres_c 565495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: lol. We always end up with some kind of gross sugary candy with whatever I sent him for. lately its been nerds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565453 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:05:01 +0000 NerdBee 565453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: lol! That's pretty sweet :) </p> <p>DH has free reign to buy whatever he wants when grocery shopping because he does the majority of the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565426 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:59:35 +0000 Minnie_Girl 565426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, no problem. But he always comes home with junky stuff too! It drives me nuts when he returns with soda and ramen noodles mixed in with the organic kale and kombucha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565422 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:58:01 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 565422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is FAR better than me. I get distracted and buy crap we don't need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565388 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:49:52 +0000 wheres_c 565388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way!<br /> He will get the right items but the wrong brand or wrong kind.<br /> We use european butter. He got Land of the lakes spreadable so it would go on our toast easier.<br /> We use vine or plum tomatoes. He bought Roma tomatoes.<br /> I asked for baking powder, he brings baking soda.</p> <p>Now i email him a list at work with pictures and specifics.<br /> Example: daisy brand cottage cheese 4% small curd.</p> <p>Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565342 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:37:36 +0000 Freckles 565342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Too cute!!</p> <p>DH will get the right things, but sometimes he'll get produce that is subpar (quality wise) just because it's on the list. I now have to tell him that if it looks gross, don't get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565332 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:35:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 565332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's OK. The last time I sent him out for flour he came back with flowers. Romantic,yes, helpful not really. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565258 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:22:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 565258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! He buys all the expensive and not on sale things!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565252 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:21:44 +0000 Mrs Spoon 565252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's getting better but still makes some mistakes. It's so cute though because he gets so stressed he'll get the wrong thing. It's hard to get mad hen he tries so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565158 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:01:52 +0000 cascademom 565158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take pics on phone and send them to him of specific products. He comes home with way more impulse purchases than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565149 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:00:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 565149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he generally knows better what I need than I do and if he has any questions, he calls. Usually we just go to the store together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565073 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:38:38 +0000 Dandelion 565073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think he'd even be willing to try lol. He's got zero interest on grocery shopping lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565072 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:38:14 +0000 chrispygal 565072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Well, in all fairness he does an ok job, but he always gets the wrong stuff or the wrong brand. This week he came home with fat free half and half. How does that even happen? Seems unnatural to me. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565064 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:35:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 565064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I give him a very specific, detailed, organized list he'll come home with about half the stuff I wanted, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565052 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:31:53 +0000 Arden 565052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he often forgets items or gets the wrong one because he doesn't read the labels carefully. Also he doesn't know where anything is in the store, so he ends up calling me asking "Where is the butter? I can't find the butter!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-trust-your-so-to-get-the-right-things-at-the-grocery-store#post-565050 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:30:51 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 565050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly yes, especially if he has a list </p>
