Groceries


I submit the grocery shopping order once a week. I don’t add things directly to the shopping application, I still add them to the Alexa shopping list and then shop form the on the grocery store application.

It’s an unnecessary extra step because I am too crotchety to change my ways, but at least I’m not as crotchety as Gary. He writes a list.

A list in ink, on paper.

And on the top of the sheet of paper he writes:

  1. His name, first and last
  2. The date he made the list.

I don’t know why. Perhaps he doesn’t want thinks his groceries confused with the groceries from all the other I husbands and households I maintain. And perhaps he thinks I am filing his old orders in a special filing cabinet, which is why he needs the date.

“Gary S______ 9/9/2021

Cottage cheese”

It’s just so weird.
