Women Make Better Shoppers

Women are better - at least at food shopping.  It’s true that men tend to be more capable of most spatial activities, but they can’t hold a candle to women when it comes to groceries.

Any women that has ever asked her husband or significant other to do the grocery shopping knows how true this concept is.  Most women can go into the grocery store, find exactly what is on the list, and even save a few dollars, all in under an hour.  Most men go in, having completely forgotten the list back at home, and just start buying.  The costs aren’t important.  The entire month’s budget can be blown with just won man-spree.  The scariest part is seeing the groceries unloaded and realizing that you are just going to have to go back yourself and get what you REALLY needed.

I think the problems that men have in the grocery store are directly related to the fact that most of them won’t stop and ask for directions.  The list isn’t forgotten so much as it is subconsciously left because “I don’t need help.”

If you haven’t run into this problem yet, then you aren’t a woman or else you haven’t asked a man to do your grocery shopping.   Believe me; it’s not worth the “convenience.”  I had surgery a couple of weeks ago, instead of having my husband do the shopping I just made due as long as I could.  Grocery shopping was the first thing I did after coming home - AND I managed to save 15% of the total bill and bring home just what was on the list.

I’d like to see the average man beat that.
