Every woman in my extended family is like this save for one of my aunts. The rest of them can’t understand why I and most of the guys in the family do not want to go shopping with for anything. To them grocery shopping is supposed to take up to two hours, a milk run at least 30 minutes and even just running in quick for a drink or quick lunch is a 20 in minute affair. My sister-in-law acts like it’s an act of black magic I can go to the store, get several bags of groceries and return in under an hour including the drive.
I will never understand how people can think standing around in lines or idly browsing items you have no interest or intention of buying is a good use of their time.
My mom goes through every aisle because she refuses to make grocery lists. She insists on trying to remember everything for some reason. Eventually she’d send me, without a list, and be all surprised pikachu face when I forgot stuff.
Now as an adult, I live by my grocery list. I’ve got a pad of paper on my fridge with the heading, “DON’T FUCKING FORGET” which my boyfriend and I add to as things run low.
I keep a list on my phone, and laugh at my cousin’s roommate for being a mad genius who will straight up text a pic of the fridge and pantry when my cousin goes out to buy groceries. Like it seems unnecessary but also just clever if someone asks what’s missing from the fridge at the store. See for yourself! Also get me a bag of twizzlers.
