Mine would not only let me buy what I needed, he'd probably go with me to the store! Eight years ago, we took a trip to the east coast for 3 weeks. We flew into Orlando FL and out of Burlington VT....we drove up the east coast with my Quilter's Travel Companion and the map. When we would stop at night, he'd take both into the motel room and say "Ok, if we go this route, we can go to this store and this one and this one, etc" He is my enabler!
