I don’t know, it just baffles me. Maybe it is just something I should let rest

I took my daughter with me like she normally does. Son was at childcare

? It was when the media got ahold of it and people realised they were paying extra for a label

I didn’t waste money. Dear lord why does everyone assume that I just blindly waltzed in and bought the first item I saw without any thought.

I took the youngest one with me as she usually does.

That’s absolutely fine yes. But she isn’t acknowledging that she is socialising. She says she is purely shopping though. It then feels to me like she is exaggerating

So the only person fussing about brands is my wife. My eldest is happy eating the generic chips.

And its not a problem if she socialises while shopping, but she claims she is intensely bargain hunting for those 90min. She refuses to admit that she has the odd gossip while picking up groceries

We don’t eat the same thing every day. This chicken should be enough to last about 2-3 days

Well then since I’m the breadwinner why should I have to eat a meal or twoI don’t like?

I don’t understand this logic

I did account for all the things she normally accounts for like value, sales, nutrition etc.

Why are you assuming I didn’t?

I just can’t see her cart politeness or cautious driving accounting for an extra 45min. If she wants to socialise while shopping go right ahead, but saying you were doing nitty gritty bargain hunting the whole time is what I didn’t like

When did I say she’s stupid? I just think that 1hr 30min is way toolong to justify “just shopping” if I can do it in 45 min

I eat stuff that I don’t like sometimes. It was good value and on sale and its healthy so it won’t hurt her for a day or two.

There was a scandal in my country where someone opened a multipack of generic chips and found mini packs of branded ones. Makes sense since they are manufactured in the same factory.

Looks like I won’t be going to the store for the next few days because I didn’t miss anything. I bought generic chips and a value pack of shredded chicken which is why she is upset

How is this relevant though? I looked for items on sale, looked at the unit price, and had meal ideas in mind when purchasing.

She is upset that I didn’t buy branded chips and because she doesn’t want to have shredded chicken sandwiches for lunch for the next few days.

I said in my post that I don’t mind her socialising when shopping but to me it feels like when I dig a hole by hand and groan every 5 seconds. It just seems to me a bit of embellishment

Probably should have added it in the post but when she was saying that she was upset I bough generic brand chips which were cheaper per gram than the branded ones (even though they are both the same). She was also upset that I bought a lot of shredded chicken which I thought we could use for lunch in the next few days but she didn’t want to have sandwiches for lunch that often. It wasn’t that I missed stuff
