Fat Free Butter

[Thumbtack]

My Dp has come back from the supermarket, slightly disgruntled, because of a joke I put on the shopping list. I never for one moment thought he would take it seriously! I put amongst other things . .

Real Butter (100% fat free)

I even put the smiley face next to it. It turns out he spent 20 minutes looking for this item and when he couldn't find it, he asked a shop assistant - she took one look at the list and said 'I think she is having you on mate!'

I think this is utterly hilarious, but him - not so much . . Not even slightly amused, the grumpy git!

Now, he thinks IWBU, I think it was obviously a joke!

Can you settle this?

Anyone else with daft gullible partners?

I don't think it's that unfeasible to have a fat-free butter/spread type thing out there, after all 99% fat free mayonnaise exists. So, on that basis, yes YABU.

Ynbu, he should probably know your sense of humour by now. I think it's funny, maybe he feels daft because he realises now that you can't get 100% fat free real butter but spent ages looking.

My husband wouldn't find it funny either because he would have felt like a fool in front of the supermarket staff.

I think it's funny, though.

My DH would probably still be confused after being told it was a joke, but I think it's hilarious!

My husband always writes something entirely random on the shopping list (e.g. weasel army, handgrenade, etc). It makes me laugh.

That reminds me of the things that new kids were made to do at school - eg go to the sweet shop for a quarter of fallopian tubes

Yes, I think he feels silly.

I will have to be more obvious next time.

Exactly Pinky like the old 'glass hammer' jokes.

I think thats hilarious!
This week my DH had to have a blood pressure monitor on for 12 hours, before he went I told him the nurse puts a probe near his penis because thats a great area to check blood pressure and I told him to wear his new pants! He was so nervous (evil)

Dh would have believed fat free butter was an actual thing too...will have to try that one!

I remember one of the lads where I used to work being sent to buy a new air bubble for a spirit level. Fell for it completely and couldnt work out why the man in the shop was laughing so hard he couldn't speak...

Ah, good I feel vindicated! He says in his defence you can get vegetarian bacon now. I suppose he has a point!

DH always puts BJ on the list and surprisingly Tesco never have them in
I think he would have text me and asked 'cos he's allergic to asking SAs. I might not have owned up though.

0% fat greek yoghurt exists... as does low fat cream... Those sound equally unlikely.

Fair play to him for trying. My DH wouldn't have bothered. In fact he probably would have lost the list and come home with 12 kinds of goats cheese and a vat of hummus.

DH does most of the shopping (I hate it, he loves it, I do picking up and dropping off so fairs fair) and when I go he enjoys writing random things on it. My English is quite bad too (forriner) which makes it worse I asked about five SAs about where I could by Wine (no grape or any fruit involved).

Tbf though, I didn't know the proper word for grape or involved...I know it now, obviously.

I was telling my DD about the "carb free/low calourie" pasta/noodles etc that is now available, she didn't believe me. So it is a possibility, if he has just been getting on with following the list and not thinking about it, to carefully.

I was surprised how easy it is to replace animal products by Vegan products, even in most supermarkets.

As long as you would be happy if he did something similar back, then fine.

BJ on shopping list, haha - that's a knocking shop, not a grocery shop! - bless him.

worsester yeah, it was sweet that he tried, but sooo funny too.

birds there will definitely be revenge . .

Not deliberate but I gave DH a shopping list that included 'white seedless grapes'. He came back saying 'I spent 20 minutes looking for white grapes but couldn't find them so got green ones instead'

YABU

It does exist.

Monty - now that is funny. Turns this thread on its head a bit

My Mum keeps one of those magnetic lists on the side of the fridge so that when she runs out of something or starts to run low she can add it to the list for when she next goes shopping. My Dad likes to add things to the list to see if she notices. The two that really tickled me are:

Large, suspicious-looking sausages

and

Pelican repellent.
