We used to take turns. </p> <p>I do it now so that we don't have to run errands during his (very little, very precious) time off. Plus, the store is way less crowded during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581535 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:36:25 +0000 sunny 1581535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do about 99% of it since I started staying at home. If I forgot something I'll have DH pick it up on the way home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581515 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:31:34 +0000 artsyfartsy 1581515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. He's better at controlling impulse shopping. Lol. He also knows what we need better than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581465 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:05:10 +0000 Honeygold89 1581465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do it's depends on who's out if we need something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581452 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:59:05 +0000 alohaorchid 1581452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: lol this sounds like my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581451 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:58:54 +0000 alohaorchid 1581451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's me 95% of the time. My husband has no issue going and getting stuff but he doesn't notice if we are running on low on something like toilet paper, so I keep track of all of that. I usually grocery shop during the week as needed or text him and let him know what to pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581392 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:24:29 +0000 Arden 1581392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go as a family every Thursday night, but if we need something small he'll usually pick it up on his way home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1581385 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:21:57 +0000 MrsSCB 1581385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I pretty much decide what we cook and am head chef (my H says he's my sous chef, haha) so it makes sense for me to do the shopping, especially since we have different days off right now. When our weekends are the same sometimes we go together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1484094 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:18:49 +0000 bushelandapeck 1484094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: omg...too funny! This would totally be DH if I sent him to the store for anything other than wings or Franks red hot. I swear he comes home with both of those every time he goes, despite the fact that we have 3 bottles and plenty of wings in the freezer!</p> <p>Needless to say, I do the grocery shopping, and 95% of the cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1484070 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:13:33 +0000 Smurfette 1484070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: If DH does go I have to write down exactly what I want. Even the kind of tomato or he brings a Steak Tomato and I need a Plum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1484062 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:10:36 +0000 MrsH 1484062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: maybe FaceTime or Skype him in the grocery store? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1484043 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:04:38 +0000 purrpletulips 1484043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me (with LOs in tow) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1484037 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:03:15 +0000 Anagram 1484037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: @Smurfette: @bluestriped bee: @PurplePeony: haha. </p> <p>Now I feel bad posting that. haha. It's not that he's unwilling it's just that he doesn't get grocery stores. And that he's oblibious to the things I eat that he doesn't eat. </p> <p>When I was pregnant, I was so nauseous and so sick that I didn't go grocery shopping for 3 months, and he did it all.</p> <p>But there were a LOT of phone calls like the above. hehhe. And maybe more than a few angry tears on my end when he'd bring home say, zesty salsa wheat thins (barf during morning sickness) when the plain wheat thins were "out". Um....NOT A GOOD SUBSTITUTE. </p> <p>I give him props for trying though. I'm not super easy to please in the food department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482989 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:03:41 +0000 MrsH 1482989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: lmao. I would kill my DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482979 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:00:16 +0000 mrbee 1482979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: does he ask for help from the workers? I do that all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482929 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:48:55 +0000 mrsjyw 1482929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of us! We do our big trips together on the wknd (like yest!) and then I'll pick up baby grociers when I do target runs. DH does the TJ &amp; WF shopping because he works near those places! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482924 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:47:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1482924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, I make out a meal plan, ask for input and usually go during nap time on Saturday or Sunday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482902 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:39:46 +0000 Ginabean3 1482902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do it together! We do a big Costco trip every month for dry goods and protein (which we then freeze). Then week by week I go to the regular store and supplement with fresh veggies. :-) Works out pretty nicely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482895 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:37:33 +0000 Alivoo01 1482895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482797 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 08:00:24 +0000 tinyperson 1482797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do — although I'd rather do it myself. He's a slowpoke at the grocery store!</p> <p>We usually meal plan when the grocery store flyer comes in (Wed or Thurs) and make a list, and then either do the shopping Friday night on the way home from picking LO up from daycare, or sometime Saturday or Sunday. DH usually picks any extra things up during the week, because he works across the street from our grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482757 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 07:40:38 +0000 Smurfette 1482757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: LOL!!!

I make sure we get what we need for meals, though because I'm the cook in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482713 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 07:17:37 +0000 looch 1482713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do one grocery shop per week, as a family. We are each responsible for certain items, we each get a list.</p> <p>Sorry, but I can not accept my husband not being able to do a grocery shop to a specific list. It's not always possible for us to go or for me to go alone, so he's got to be able to manage it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482608 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 02:43:46 +0000 Sapphiresun 1482608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the list and meal planning and often do most of the major shops. Every once in a while DH comes with me for company, or he'll pick up a missing item or something we're craving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482601 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 02:02:46 +0000 BSB 1482601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: LOL! I do remember trips like that. DH has definitely gotten better. I would have asked him to take pictures and send to me. Or tell him to ask someone. </p> <p>DH even checks to make sure he gets the cheapest one. I think it took 2 years after we got married for him to finally learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482591 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 01:28:32 +0000 sandy 1482591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do pretty much all of the grocery runs now that I SAH...sometimes we go as a family over the weekend but that's not very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482588 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 01:26:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1482588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does. We go together for large trips to a bigger grocery store, but for everyday things we run out of, he goes to the neighborhood grocery store on his way home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482582 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 01:16:34 +0000 PurplePeony 1482582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: that totally sounds like my hubby. He's the kind who will say "I didn't see any sweet potatos so I got regular ones instead." Um, thanks, but they're not exactly interchangeable! I think the most shocked I've ever been during our 8 1/2 years together was a couple weeks ago when I was making Indian food and asked if he could pick up some ghee...and he actually CAME HOME WITH IT!! I thought for sure he would either forget or get defeated looking for it and give up, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482544 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:08:50 +0000 teamjse 1482544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-buys-the-groceries-keeps-the-fridge-stocked/page/2#post-1482510 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 23:16:23 +0000 Glitter 1482510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make the list and DH does the shopping. </p>
