    OH 'doesn't know where things go' but he sure can find things to eat when he's peckish.

    I do all the shopping myself too, because I found the road rage, the parking rage, and the trolley rage just too much

      I hate putting away as well.
      Hence the little agreement me and Andi have...I have to do the hateful job of shopping and he gets the fun job of putting it all away!

        The "rages" are the main reasons I don't like shopping...........................but I will if pressed.

            Hate doing both! Thought about shopping online once a month until I saw DD's delivery arrive - it took ages to put everything away, horrendous.

              Ah, I would advocate ordering only frozen food one month. Cans the next.

              lol

              (I only use online if there's an offer, and then I only order the heavy stuff that is a struggle on my bike. Otherwise, it's 3 bags of shopping in the panniers, as and when)

                I don't really mind either - shopping, I get to pick. Putting away, I get to put stuff where I know I can find it.

                There are certain shops I'd rather be in than others, but I'm happy with the one home.

                  Oh dear, it looks like I'm the only odd-ball who actually LIKES putting stuff away!
                  My friend always shudders when she comes round for coffee as she says my cupboards are like a scene from "Sleeping With the Enemy". Can't help it, I like an orderly cupboard, plus I can tell at a glance what needs replacing, so I DON'T end up with seventeen cans of baked beans!

                    nothing wrong with that. I face up the supermarket shelves if I remove a can of something too

                      'Ramming it til it fits' is not a valid method of putting away the shopping!! He just won't learn that it makes me really grumpy!!

                            You want a tin of baked beans so ;-
                            1. Off the shelf into the trolley
                            2. out the trolley onto the checkout .
                            3. off the checkout back into bag in trolley (obvoiusly you have more than one tin of BB's)
                            4. Bag out of trolley into car
                            5. bag out of car and into house.
                            6. Tin out of bag and into cupboard
                            7. Out of cupboard to be eaten
                            Now I'm sick of moving that tin of baked beans around.!
                            I'm sure you all use the bags for life and no carrier bags but for those who do you can add between 3 and 4

                            Carrier bag handle breaks and one can rolls under the car (this usually only happens when it rains so you have to kneel in a puddle to find it

                            5b. when you get home one of the bags has fallen over in the boot so you need to repack the bag again or take in each item seperately
                            Thought For The Day
                            If a plum tomato breaks the law when it’s young
                            Would it’s criminal past ketchup with it later?

                              we do ours on line, after having my pick up bumped twice in my local tesco car park, cost me 400 pound for a new bumper last month, its worth paying the 5 pound they charge to deliver, my wife puts it away as i hate this. hate shopping, hate supermarkets, but most of all the clowns who cant reverse without hitting my pick up.
