When we met, he was recently divorced and not used to shopping for himself. He would be overwhelmed at all the choices and grab crazy stuff, forgetting what he really came for.

Me..I have a meal plan and a grocery list that is organized by aisle number. I can be in and out of a store with two weeks of groceries in 30-45 minutes if it’s not crowded.

Now that he is retired, he shops with me a lot. I have my list, but he’s wandering around looking at this and that and getting ideas for his nights to cook. Sometimes he finds some great stuff that I would miss in my singlemindedness. And I know what he regularly buys and have it plugged into my list so he doesn’t forget what he came for.
