Those ladies knew what they're doing alright.
When I have to pick up something for DH, I don't want to waste time on his cwap, so I make him call the wood working store, and order everything. Then I walk in pick it up, sometimes he pays with CC on the phone, other times, he gives me cash.
Then I can go to a fabric store on the way home, using his gas.
I've already learned if I want him to get me something, I give him the empty wrapper. I am certain he stops at a wood shop on the way home, so we're even.
