to want OH to remember how tiny our kitchen is when he goes shopping at Makro?

[2kidsintow]

And brings back monster multipack sized things. Todays offerings include a huge multipack box of crisps, 12 x 1L cartons of juice, a full wheel of cheese (that only he likes) and a 2kg jar of beetroot.

I'd also like him to manage to get it as far as the kitchen rather than leaving it on the dining room table to be consumed from there (inc items that should be in a fridge), but that is another AIBU altogether.

Oh dear.
You'll need to praise him for going to Makro. Agree with him about it being a FANTASTIC shop. Agree it's a REALLY REALLY good way of getting bargains. Tell him it's just SUCH a shame the things he buys end up going to waste/ stop you cleaning the kitchen/dining- table/whatever....

Mine's the same with Costco. 4 trillion cans of pop that live on the work surface

Yes my dh is the same at Costco,huge bags of sour cream pretzels,cartons of juice,packs and packs of pancakes,bagels and wraps that only him and ds eat.

36 babybels anyone?

I'll swap you for a bag of cheese strings.

But it's makro, isn't it the law that you must leave with more stuff than you can sensibly store and/or eat?

We'd go through 36 babybels in two days! I've never heard of Makro. Is it a discount place?

My dh is the same, our down stairs toilet is full of coke and the bedroom is full of toilet rolls

I'm with Marne, just find other places to put the stuff.

"our down stairs toilet is full of coke"

Can we make that quote of the week please, I just laughed so loudly the dog woke and farted at me.

Eueww - sour cream pretzels! Lucky you :o

I leave it in the car boot and bring it out bit by bit, so the locust-teens dont scoff it all in 24 hours.

"Pick up some cottage cheese" I said

10 tubs. Yes, TEN tubs. Big ones. Expiry date 3 days away.

What, I ask you, was I to do with ten large tubs of cottage cheese in three days?

I was giving them away to everyone who came to the door. Friends who popped in for coffee were leaving with a tub of cottage cheese and a look on their face.

I think the problem is those shops are so vast, the trolleys are giant and even the parking spaces are huge that you loose all perspective. It's not until you get a years worth of bog roll and giant tubs of cream and a tray of huge muffins through your door do you realise.

I remember the profiteroles dh came home with. They were frozen and the box was the size of our freezer. We had to eat half of them just to get them in.

DH bought 2 large bags of frozen cauliflower. We have a very small freezer. I am the only person in the house that likes cauliflower. And not all that much.

"It was buy one get one free!" he exclaimed in triumph.

After a year we finished one bag and I surreptitiously threw the other one out.

There is a general trend towards shoving loads of cheap stuff you can buy any time at the corner shop in the freezer, so that when I have something expensive I NEED to freeze, there's no room.

Flogging, it's a bit like Costco, but you don't need to pay for the membership card.

I try to smile appreciatively when he's obviously come in with something he has picked carefully and thinks I will enjoy, but the storage issue, along with the fact that I'm trying to diet and can't eat the things he brings make me seem like a right moody moo.

My dh loves a bargain anywhere, I once asked him to pick up 6 bottles of diet Pepsi ready for Christmas when Morrisons had a buy 1 get 2 free offer on them, he came back with 36 bottles. Asked for 3 packs of Pringles on the same offer, he came back with 18 packs!
