Couples that grocery shop together.

[Michael]

I enjoy grocery shopping with my lady.

[cardinalkarp]

me, my wife and my son go. It usually takes an hour or so, but it's family bonding and planning. Not too much time on our hands, just making time to spend some time together and getting everybody's input on trying something new.

I agree w/ this.

How about I start with the stupid middle aged woman waddling her fat ass down the middle of the aisle and stopping to look at every single item, thereby blocking me from getting around her?

LOL

People with too much time on their hands.

I honestly don't understand how people take longer than 10 minutes in a grocery store. I can be in and out without a list with a week's worth of groceries in 5 minutes.

disclaimer: I go at non-peak times and use the self-check out

Ramen Noodles and mustard doesn't take long to pick up.

I was just about to make this exact same joke.

I have so many grocery store rants that I don't even know where to begin.

And look out if it's "Free Samples Day"!!!

There are a bunch of these archetypes.

-middle aged woman waddling down the aisle

-stupid bachelor guy who has never been to a grocery store

-"I can't figure out the self-checkout but am going to use it anyway" guy or lady

-I let my kids treat the grocery store like a McD's Playland

-I take 100 items into the 20 items or less lane (or the self-checkout)

Trips to the grocery store give me an aneurysm because I typically know exactly which 5 to 10 things I'm going to buy. I make a beeline for them and get the hell out of there as quick as I can.

We grocery shop together in order to SAVE time. He takes part of the list and I take part of it and we meet up.

Acceptable.

I'm talking about that couple that take 10 minutes picking out a can of beans, because baby cake doll face cutesy pie and lovie peachy pie pookie wookie can't decide.

"Hey - both cans will make you fart so just pick one and quite blocking the aisle, ok?".

Speaking as a person with a big butt who enjoys leisurely eating free samples with my wife at the grocery store I must say thread offends me.

Grocery shopping is some time away from the wife, I cherish that more than being around her. Combine too many loud kids, small areas, white trash, her and her coupons, etc. and I despise it. I still don't know why we have a full spice rack, that stuff hasn't been used in 7 years.

I'll go the mall or whatever, that's fine (except Xmas) but I have not made a day out of going grocery shopping with her.

Given my overall mood in a grocery store, I'm better off not going.
