Considering that my husband joined me at the grocery store, we kept the bill comparatively low. When hubby comes, there are always many items in the cart that would not be there if I went alone. It always annoys me that he gets a separate cart from me. That 1) furthers the risk of him buying all kinds of miscellaneous stuff, 2) makes it look like we're buying for a family of six instead of two, 3) we sometimes end up with duplicate items, and 4) he's never to be found. I spend half the time trying to track him down in the store. I try to call him on my cell phone, but he never answers. I'm kind of a "Boom, boom, boom!" shopper. He's a sloooooooooow browser.

Of course he also buys items that are extremely tempting for me, that I usually never buy. He just says "Well then don't eat them!" I'm referring to a French-style yogurt in glass jars called "Oui" by Yoplait. They're just too hard to say "Non!" to. They remind us of southern Bohemian (Czech) style yogurts.
