doing a “husband’s run” (early morning grocery run for a missing breakfast item, because i get to wander the store and get whatever else i want) but committing the “husband’s folly” (forgetting the one item i was asked to get, eggs)

prompting the husband's return, where you go back and the most important thing is to get a different cashier from anyone who saw you wandering about earlier

I text my husband a pic of what I need from our grocery store’s app.

Wandering around the grocery store with a sticky note that says "EGGS" in giant letters.

"Oooo, is that a new flavor of Doritoes?"

Spending 10 minutes in front of the beef jerky calculating which bag is the cheapest per weight, completely missing the smaller "price per weight" on the price sticker

I mean the cookies from yesterday were half off and then I got distracted as they put out the fresh French bread; it happens.

i have a husband like that. he transed his entire gender and now i get to send him these posts while he’s at the store so he remembers to get eggs. it’s the little things.

my wife just writes "EGGS" on my forehead in marker so the checkout clerk sees it and asks "why is EGGS written on your forehead" so I don't forget

I'd stroll thru self checkout and not see eggs til I check the rear view 6 blocks from home
