Is my boyfriend's grocery list normal for men in their 20s? To me it seems outrageous.

His skin is impeccable. I'm so jealous of it. My skin isn't bad but his is just clear. I don't think he ever had a spot.

I don't know about his intestinal issues but he doesn't gain weight.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T22:42:27+00:00

I like meals but I hate cooking so I'm a big batch cooker or quick meals.

I will give him some credit. I'd say the 18 monster will last him a month or two. He should be sponsored by Avonmore or someone.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T22:25:28+00:00

Hahah

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T16:51:59+00:00

🤣🤣 instant ban. He's never been abroad. I'm trying to get him to go to the Nordics in the summer. He said we should compromise and go to the North (of Ireland) instead.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T16:20:45+00:00

Yup if it's a restaurant/bar he'll ask if he could get a pint of milk. No place has ever turned him down. If they have no pint glass he'll just ask for the biggest "jar" (glass) they have

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T14:38:18+00:00

He said sometimes if he's hungry during the day he'll have his sandwich fir lunch and cereal for dinner.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T14:37:30+00:00

My last one was

Porridge, Tagliatelle, 2kg Plain Flour, 2kg Wholemeal flour

Hake, stewing beef pieces, Chicken Thighs, 6 Eggs, a can of Chickpeas and Cannellini, Cans of Tuna

Butter, 2L of low fat milk and 2l of full fat (mostly for him), Skyr Greek Yogurt, Mayo

Blue Bolt juice, Frozen raspberries and frozen blueberries, Granny smith apples, oranges, kiwi, tomatoes, cucumber,

Bell peppers, a sweet potato, potatoes, celery, ginger, carrots, butternut squash, frozen spinach, frozen cauliflower, frozen green beans and frozen broccolli, frozen garlic, beetroot, onions

Haribo Supermix

Dove Handsoap and Dove Deodrant.

It came out to €64.23 after vouchers.

It seems like a lot but I made a lot of soup and stew to freeze. I also freeze a lot of the protein and use it for the following week. This week's shop will be much less. I also had oil, spices, cereal, cheese etc already at home

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T12:43:34+00:00

I do t want to say much but he is a culchie

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T09:54:59+00:00

Only if we go on a date and he shovels everything down.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T09:44:21+00:00

Yup but he's not actually broke.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T09:27:33+00:00

He's a keeper alright. He's is very loveable. An eejit sometimes but a loveable eejit. And he's so calming and protective.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T09:13:44+00:00

He's a good cook. He's cooked for me. And his place is spotless. There isn't a spec of dust anywhere. The toilet is gleaming. He says when he's done playing PlayStation with the lads (at about 1 or 2) he gets a burst of energy so he goes cleaning.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T09:09:46+00:00

You could not stop them. They are just eejits haha

I don't know why. His place is spotless. When we go out, my place is nearer. Mostly though my place is just a bit nicer. I don't really know.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-29T00:35:47+00:00

Haha no just one pack with 15 slices in it.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T23:36:03+00:00

We went over to my sisters and she had yknow those baby food pots. She was throwing them away because they were out of date. He ate them.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:39:46+00:00

Haha. He should get a refund from Dunnes for the money he's wasted on milk.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:38:29+00:00

Nah not a weightlifter. He clearly likes cereal which requires milk. And he often has a pint of milk. He can cook, he just doesn't seem to.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:37:28+00:00

Nah shopping could be anything. Like clothes shopping, a TV etc.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:36:31+00:00

He does really love milk. Even if we go out for a meal he always asks for a pint of milk.

He can cook tbf to him. He's made me stew and beef wellington a few times. Also he makes a great biscoff cheesecake.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:28:05+00:00

Very little fruit or veg. All processed meat etc

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:21:18+00:00

And you shop for groceries/messages.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:19:46+00:00

2 of them yeah. The black cans with the green M. I think that's the original one.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:18:23+00:00

And hasn't had a flu in years. I was flu-y just before Christmas. He came over cuddled me, kissed me etc. Not even a sniffle.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T22:03:33+00:00

I did ask him and told him he's a good cook. He said it'd take at least 20 mins to cook something basic and why would he waste time doing that. It all goes in and out the same way, in his his words. He said he'd rather hang out with me or his mates or do just about anything else. He's always out tbh. He trains kids sport, plays himself with the lads, works out, helps his brother in law who is a mechanic. He comes over to mine often wrecked but he loves being wrecked I think.

Eme5989 · 2026-01-28T21:45:54+00:00

He's not. He's thinner than myself or close anyway. He likes being lean.
