OT - why can't guys do the grocery shopping?
Over the weekend, I was really craving ice cream but didn't have any. Today he went to the store and he was going to get himself some ice cream and asked if I wanted some. I said yes, Klondike brand no sugar added ice cream sandwiches, please. It needs to be that kind. They only have three grams of sugar.
So he went shopping, came home and put the groceries away. I just now went into the kitchen, ready for an ice cream sandwich.
He didn't get ice cream sandwiches. He got no sugar added Klondike bars. Which only have six grams of sugar so I can eat them, but it's not what I wanted.
Why is it that guys cannot be counted on to pick up a specific item at the grocery store? How hard it is to look for the words "no sugar added ice cream sandwich" and a picture of ice cream sandwiches on the box?

I do the grocery shopping most of the time. Since my back has been bothering me so much lately, he's done it a couple times. But there are things I won't even ask him to get because I know he won't be able to find them or figure out what to get. But how hard is it to get Klondike no sugar added ice cream sandwiches? He was obviously standing right in front of them when he got the Klondike bars.

Highest weight: 269. Surgery weight: 233. Goal weight: 144, and then we'll see..

And even then, I send him with a printed list that not only lists what the item is and where it is in the store but also has a PICTURE of the box/can/bag.
WIth that, the success rate rises to about 75% of time.
The best excuse ever? "Well, you wanted tomato sauce, but it takes forever for you to season it the way you want it so I bought some Ragu!" Seriously made me go "umm...."
