Anyone else's Dh do this?

[IdoEverythinginthishouse]

Gave Dh a simple food shopping list to get and he's came back with a few bits of the list and loads of random crap that we never eat? My freezer is now full with it and we haven't got full ingredients for at least one meal for the week! Aibu to be pissed off?

How hard is it to do a food shop with less than 20 things on the list

I don't normally let DP do the food shopping because he is always spends too much (loves a brand and never looks at the prices!), and is unable to pick appropriate substitutes for things. I am not allowed to choose cleaning products because that is his domain and I get the wrong things. I cook, he cleans.

We write a list together, that way we can decide what's for tea the next few nights.

It's generally pretty vague:
Bread
Crisps
Juice
Fruit
Sandwich stuff
Loo roll

Plus more specific meal ingredients like pork, chicken, lasagne sheets, garlic bread etc.

If we go shopping together each of us can pick which flavour/brand of juice etc we want.

If he goes alone (he drives, I don't and I'm also pregnant and not always feeling up to trailing around Tesco) I can 100% trust him to read "fruit" and buy me enough of the fruits I like for the next X days until we shop again. Same with crisps, and sandwich fillings. He will also come home with my usual shampoo if I write shampoo on the list.

Occasionally he forgets something, so either goes back or we push that meal to later in the week and he pops back after work another day for that thing. He also comes home with stuff he just fancied buying - but if I'm with him we'll both impulse buy anyway. (And even shopping together sometimes we both forget one or two things that were on the list!)

Find it really worrying how many men aren't able to do the same!

• text or call? I can't get a signal at our local big Sainsbury's, except near the tills. Same in a lot of big supermarkets. I once asked an architect about this, he said it's because of the metal roof.
• just NOT buy it? That's the OP's problem!

I sent teen dd to the supermarket earlier with a list. She bought exactly what was asked for. And nothing else.

How come a grown man can't do the same - it really isn't all that hard, surely?

DH doesn't do the food shopping. Not because he's incapable, but because I cannot stand the whingeing every fucking time about how expensive it all is, and can't we just eat nothing less, and do we really need all this fruit anyway?

It's much better for my mental health (and his survival probability) if I do it. He will get what we need, and probably remembers more than I do, but will not deviate from the brand/type we normally use if there is a cheaper/better alternative. This why he spends more than me.

He is a far superior cleaner of the bathroom than me and my half arsed efforts. As long as we have some sort of equal division of labour since we both work ft, I'm not too bothered how that pans out. So long as it's not me cleaning the shower drain
