Groceries Post #2

My husband very, very seldom helped me with the purchase of groceries in the past.  On the few
times he did accompany me to the grocery store, it was very hard for me to concentrate and get the job done.  He did not really know how to help me, and his frequent requests to "give  him something to find" really rattled my brain. 




Since being plant based, he has become much more interested in both cooking and gathering the groceries.  I never thought I would see the day.  He often goes with me now, and he has enough knowledge to really be helpful.  He knows how to pick out a lot of the produce, (which makes
up most of our groceries).  He knows to buy the lemons which are heavier in weight, (because they contain more juice), rather than just picking out the largest lemons. 



He knows to pick out some ripe bananas and some green ones, so that we aren't overrun with bananas the beginning of the week and then run out of bananas for the rest of the week. 

He is even starting to read some labels on the few canned and packaged goods we buy.  He knows to
check the date on everything.  He knows that if the almond milk use by date is far enough out, we can pick up many cartons. 

He also knows that we save a lot of money by buying a large number of items if a product is on sale for a great price.  He didn't even blink today when I bought 14 red bell peppers.  He knows I will sauté them and put them in the freezer for future pizzas, burritos, etc. 

Best of all, he hands me the key to the vehicle and tells me to get in out of the weather while he puts the groceries in the vehicle.  Then when we get home, he fusses at me if I carry even one light bag into the house myself. 
         

Yes, I think I will keep this guy.












Husband's note:  Ahhh Thanks honey.  I have found that the sooner we put up groceries, the sooner we eat.  So I do have a vested interest here.  Plus, I see all the hard work you put into shopping for us!
