Why is grocery shopping such a challenge? If you want something done right, just ask a woman. This truth shines through in the hilarious realm of grocery shopping, as brought to life by the witty blogger, Sarah Wilkins, from the blog Life’s Little Hiccups. Known for her candid takes, especially regarding her husband, she crafted a funny video titled “When Husbands Go Grocery Shopping,” where she humorously critiques his shopping skills.
“My husband is a bright guy,” she states in her video. “He holds a degree in astrophysics from a top university. But the moment he steps inside a grocery store, it’s like his brain takes a vacation. Seriously, he wanders around like he’s lost in a dark labyrinth.”
In a series of amusing phone calls, Sarah guides her husband through the store, relying solely on her memory because apparently, navigating grocery aisles is a skill only women possess. “Lettuce! Green lettuce! LE-T-T-U-C-E!” she exclaims into the phone. When he asks where to find the lettuce, she directs him to the produce section. “It’s right next to the tomatoes. You know, where all the vegetables are!”
Moms have an uncanny ability to find everything in the house without even moving from their favorite spot on the couch. This skill comes from years of knowing precisely where every item belongs. Because there is a method to the madness of storage, folks.
Sarah humorously showcases an item her husband brought home after one of his grocery outings. “Here’s a photo of the fruit he selected,” she says, revealing what appears to be a bruised piece of fruit that might be a pear, or possibly an apple—or maybe even a kumquat (which, by the way, we still can’t identify). Sarah jokingly suggests he must have decided to pick out the one that looked like it had been through a blender.
While it’s not fair to say all men are terrible at grocery shopping, what’s a marriage without a little light-hearted ribbing? “I refuse to believe my husband struggles with grocery shopping,” Sarah concludes. “I think it’s an elaborate conspiracy among men to drive us crazy—and it’s working.”
Yes, it truly is.
