Husbands hate shopping.
It's proven scientifically, people!
The roll of the eyes, when you say "we are out of ketchup and coffee." Because they know what's coming. They know that ketchup is only the tip of the iceberg. They know that you will stop in the clearance section and browse the clothing department. Don't even mention the kitchenware!
Ohh, the kitchenware.. Have you seen Wilton's new baking gadgets line? I love the yellow handles! ( swoon )
Aaaaanyways, MY Husband hates shopping. Browsing the aisles, searching for a new kind of the product - that does not have any appeal.
Women looooove shopping. I love shopping!
Sure I have a list with me. I always shop with my kids, so I need the list like my right arm. Otherwise, we would be eating scrambled eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
But I love to browse. I tend to drift off from our route into a bakeware section. Or cheese section. Or fruit stands!
Would you like to save this recipe?
The clearance sign - it's all it's fault I say. You are thinking: it's on sale! It's a great deal! I am getting it!
I have been there, ladies. Because, when you buy on sale - it's like you are saving making money! Right?
I would bet a plate full of brownies, that our husbands don't agree.
But they figured out a way to deal with it! They make up a strategy and grab the bull by it's horns!
"Let me do the shopping today. You just relax." - he says.
" I can do it in ten!" - he thinks.
"I am staying home with the kids... You think I can relax?" - I think.
Walk in, get what you need, pay and get out! That's how they do it.
Yep. I witnessed it.
I was speechless.
I even admired it!
Just like my Hubby admired my homemade marshmallows, sitting comfortably on a plate in front of him.
Perfection was the word he used. Better than store bought might have been exclaimed.

Haha! I love this! My dad always teases my step-mom about how much money she "saved" them when she comes home from a marathon shopping trip. "We must be rich now, after all the money you've saved us!" he jokes with her. It always cracks me up.
I've wanted to try making homemade marshmallows for a long time. With smores season quickly approaching, I think I'm going to finally give them a go.

Crunchy Creamy Sweet says

When I send my hubby shopping I almost always get one or two phone calls...but he doesn't mind picking up a few items for me 🙂 And he's much less likely to buy impulse items!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Yep, I know what you mean :)Thank you, Lizzy!
