I don't ever let my DH go to the grocery store alone and I try not to let him come with me either. He buys way too many "why nots". You know what that is -- going down the chip aisle and he sees the tortilla chips and thinks 'Nachos or Guacamole or Salsa' and tosses them into the cart. Further down are the regular chips and he thinks 'chips and onion dip' and in goes the dip chips. We get to the ice cream and he sees just the vanilla and automatically thinks 'root beer floats'. Same goes with cookies. Get the idea? Why not have this and why not have that and before you know it there are so many why nots and not enough need to haves in the cart, the bill is way beyond the budget. My hips are growing just at the thought of it all! I try to bring home just one or 2 goodies that should last until the next shopping day but he can't say no, he can only say why not.
