Tonight it was $171.80. He couldn't understand it so I pointed to his 2 boxes of cheerios (name brand) and he says they were only $2.98 each. I pointed to his stewed tomatoes (name brand) they were only $1.19 each. I pointed to his yogurt "they were only $3.29 each". This goes on for about 14 items.
At the end he says "see that didn't make that big of a difference". The kids and I just stared at him in disbelief! I haven't shown him the proof - but everything that "HE" picked up and got - ended up costs $70.22 cents!
Not as funny as the Left Brain husband/grocery store someone posted about earlier this month but still......
I know exactly what you mean. I can usually get out of the grocery store each week with around $42.00 and we are a family of two senior citizens. MDH went in with me this last time and he said he wanted the "rainsettes" by Snyders bakery $4.89 and the raisin bread $3.91, not to mention Tillamook ice cream $4.12 and some creamsicles $3.99 and a few other things that brought it up to $74.82. Next time he will stay in the car or at home!!!!
