Very boring so apologies in advance.
Dp drinks only coffee at home, about 6 cups a day, very strong so easily goes through a jar a week sometimes more. He also only likes nice coffee so won't have own brand, Nescafé etc has to be one of the expensive ones.
As we don't have a huge food budget (family of 4, inc formula & nappies) I try to get one he likes when they are on offer (usually buy a few to stock up). I've tried various brands in the past & if he doesn't like something I've got I take it to work & get something else.
Recently found a very nice top end supermarket one, bought some to try & dp liked it. Same one happens to have been on offer a few times so he's been drinking it for 6 weeks or so quite happily with no complaints. I always decant from jars to coffee tin so he normally doesn't see the jar it's come from. Hadn't filled yet today so when he made a coffee he grabbed a jar from the cupboard & has now had a hissy fit on seeing it's an own brand. I pointed out it's the one he's been drinking for weeks without comment but now he's seen the jar it's "shit" & he only has one luxury (not true) so why am I buying him shit coffee.
He thinks I'm buying the cheapest available (again not true) & doing home out of his "only luxury".
I've pointed out that buying only the named stuff (particularly if not on offer as is often the case) would take up a significant chunk of the budget (& I'd have to cut back elsewhere) but this doesn't make a difference apparently as I'm just being unreasonable.
My view is that I make the effort to find coffee he likes (I'd never make him drink something he didn't like the taste of to save money) & that I can fit into the budget. I also think he's more focused on the name & is now only deciding he doesn't like it because he's seen the jar. If I'd decanted it into a branded jar he wouldn't have noticed.
I know it's silly & petty but I need an outside perspective. Dp is now in a mood with me, barely speaking to me & has just left without saying a word to me.
So who is bu?
