Who does the 'supermarket run' in your household?
Is it the women or the man? Or do you go together? And is the matter of who goes a bone of contention?

my mum does the shopping... because if my dad went he'd come back with a load of crap and spend a fortune... lol

but lately my mums been using that sainsbury's online thingy :D food to the door, its amazing! :D

Dad goes to Morrisons or Asda.

No choice in my house as there's only me and the dog. I've thought about fitting Max with panniers as it's his food that weighs a lot. I'm getting a lot better as I get older in asking for help when required anything to mean I don't have to go to the smelly counters for perfume presents and I hate Meadowhell.
Tesco shopping on-line is wonderful and I've discovered a pet shop that can deliver Max food by the sackful which is helpful.

my mum, she insists on doing it or else the food supply would simply be beer and crisps if me and/or my dad did it

MOD: Warning: Just be very, very careful where you go with this. :nono:

we both go. and that answer is too short so i must waffle a little.

We both go, but I usually give her a ten minute start while I sit in the car (secretly hoping she's half way round by the time I go in) then I trundle round 'on tow' and fill the carriers. Oh the joys!

Just to set the record straight, Nax is my dog big,black, lazy, labrador cross alsatian. I would never insinuate that Max the Mod should be fitted with panniers or looks like my dog, after all my dog Max is handsome and has all the girls fussing over him.

See, that's exactly what I meant.

These are classic male shopping avoidance tactics
:D :D

I have to, my husbands an impulse buyer, gets all usless stuff, pciks up anything that dosen't need cooking, Pork Chops , when are we eating those things ?

The weekly shop in our house is a joint effort, full of arguments and lashings of stress.

We both hate going around supermarkets - we absolutely detest the places. Soon be Friday. Oh dear, it's bringing me out in a wild panic thinking about it.

The shoppings not so bad, it's finding a place to put it all once you get home, i'm too lazy to rotate things so last things get eaten first.

why is it that my husband can spend £21 on a tray of guiness, but if i stick a £5 bottle of wine into the trolley the shopping bill will be the national debt, but then again this is the same guy that once asked me if fabric conditioner was actually need when doing the washing...............MEN............

Fabric conditioner needed in the wash?
The answer is simple
No!!!

....but he would complain if his work clothes were "itchy"

I can't believe it I'm discussing fabric conditioner, oh the shame of it!!
I've never used the stuff in fact I'm sure I've been told it reduces the absorbency of towels and the like. I don't itch well apart from the fleas and I wear a wide range of differing materials.

Ah - the 'delaying tactic!' I do this. Whilst Mrs D is getting the vegetables, I go and read the magazines. I hate vegetables:rolleyes:

i'll be doing it this week as i'm going to be left all alone this weekend (other 1/2 going to the seaside for a few days,as stated in a different thread)
so i'll be trundling round morrisons at hillsborough friday teatime,anybody got a map???

Weekly shop? What's one of those? I go shopping whenever I need some food.

JGH

Mum and dad, sometimes alone, sometimes together!

If I ever go with my Dad he hates it.. I always seem to be hungry when I go and end up wanting everything :D

Both of us,but I am purely in the capacity of native porter.If I have been very good I am allowed to push the trolley,but I still don`t understand why it costs me £1 a time.

:D :D :D did the weekly shop at morrisons, took me one and a half hours,never again.
queued at the bacon counter for about 15 mins then realised i had to obtain a raffle ticket (wondered why they kept shouting numbers out,thought i was back in the gala bingo).
oh and the queues at the checkout, i'm just glad they provide magazines for you to browse at.
never ,isay,never again :D :D

Our shopping trip is a family affair.. we all go toddler in the trolley he loves to rifle through as the trolley gets full, mardy 9 yearold doing a "kevin" all the way round and then threres us.. you can bet if we are going to have a domestic it will be on the shopping trip over somthing really stoopid like picking the wrong Q for the till. somtimes I do the shopping online just for a quiet life :)

Online shopping rules the roost.
Do it once every 2 months and pick up milk, veg, etc once a week
The delivery drivers must hate me :D
