What’s DH coming home with?

265 replies

Troublesometooth · 09/01/2022 14:15

Sent DH to Aldi with a list of about £40 worth of food.

It’s just pinged on my banking app that he has spent £84! He will be home in ten minutes…

Any guesses what he is coming home with?

I’m going for some sort of middle aisle electric saw that will sit in the shed for the next 10 years unused!

It a super duper wank mug, or whatever they’re called 🤣

Hurry up OP!!

@RachAnneKirl90

One of those boxed sets of rachets/screwdrivers/rawl plugs/spanners

That's what my DH would come back with - despite the fact he has a garage full already.

"Ahh, yes, well this PARTICULAR type of rachet gripped spanner has a special type of calibration........"

Meanwhile he forgot the sugar, teabags and pasta Grin

Do you live with my husband or stepdad? Grin

My bet is on a tool, work socks or booze.

A cat bed and a tiny foot stool.

I reckon it’s one big thing from the Aisles of Temptation.

My last shop in Lidl included an extra six jigsaws, a massive bags of pickled onion Mackies crisps and tonne of Ex-Christmas treats (as if I needed more of those!).

I can’t wait to hear what your DH bought.

LED lights
A saw
Car polisher
Cat bed
And a 3 man tent?

Tell me more about the heated boot Grin I feel like this is something WFH me needs in my life.

longwayoff · 09/01/2022 15:48

Ah, the joys of married life. In the early days long ago, I made the mistake of asking him to go to shop for me. In mellow mood, due to the amount of dope smoked by him and friend, off they trotted, returning with what amounted to the contents of the confectionery and snacks section of the supermarket and a pint of milk. Hope the Aldi surprise is an improvement on that.

Love these threads. I wandered round the Aisle of Dreams in my local Lidl the other day and had to stifle several guffaws.

One or two people did look at me funny, as in "What's wrong with the snorting woman?' kind of way.

No, no. You were right. Car polish is a typo. It's Aldi. It's definitely cat polish.

5 Christmas puddings
4 rolls of Christmas wrap
3 packs of Christmas cards
2 turkeys on sale
And a partridge in a pear tree

I hope it IS a cat polisher

AngelinaFibres · 09/01/2022 15:57

Work trousers with 20 pockets.
A tool belt.
Lots of iced German gingerbread biscuits in really big bags.
A leaf blower

HaggisBurger · 09/01/2022 15:58

Unless Aldi has started stocking really good sex toys there is literally no excuse for this delay in reporting back ….

My dh was eyeing up a £50 electric pasta maker in Aldi. I’m sure it would make a nice edition to the kitchen gadget graveyard in the attic.

SocialConnection · 09/01/2022 15:58

IS HE BACK YET

Justgivemeamoment · 09/01/2022 15:59

Is he back??

midlifecrash · 09/01/2022 15:59

Is it WINE

StrifeOfBath · 09/01/2022 16:00

A wet suit, a set of 100 Allen keys, a bird feeding station and an enormous tub of bird food, a folding foam chair bed (in magenta multi-stripe) , a plastic water feature and a telescopic long handled pruning knife.

theNumbersStation · 09/01/2022 16:02

I vote shredder.

And a thermal mug.
