Yes, I know, I shouldn't be very grateful. But. I do most of the grocery shopping etc and have a good handle on our finances etc. I budget quite strictly so that we can save for occasional holidays/house updates etc. Occasionally I'll ask him to swing by the shops to pick up some bread or milk. Next thing I know he comes home with flowers for me (very sweet but this is from our joint grocery account) plus bagged salad (we never buy bagged salad), bananas (we'll have 6 in the fruit bowl - there's only us), and posh ice cream that blows our budget out the water. And he forgot the milk!

Stansgran, how about you shop on line if you are unable to go out and shop yourself?

My next door neighbour used to go shopping every Saturday morning - and his wife had no say in it. She had to cook, clean and 'do' with what he bought - and it was same menu every week, same day, same food. Steak night was for him, she and the kids had sausages sad
