I go in with a list and buy that. If my wife is along, we buy 2-3 times as much stuff. She believes in buying on sales. When we got married she had seven boxes of Life cereal, I didn’t try counting the cans of tuna.
Not true of all men. My husband can spend hours in a hardware store, ( I know because I’ve waited for him in the car) and he’s not a sports fan either.
I shop for the best deals. My wife just grabs things and chucks them in the cart. I actually went through a spell where I used coupons, and saved enough to pay the down payment on our Disney Vacation Club purchase without her knowing!
I knew one who would park on the couch in front of the TV all weekend, only getting up for potty and food. If none of the major sports were on, he would watch whatever off-season crap there was, even cliff-diving.
I guess I’m insufficiently macho. Sports don’t interest me, so I do the shopping while my wife watches football. And I do stock up on stuff that’s on sale. At one point I had over a dozen boxes of cereal and eight or ten jars of peanut butter in the basement. (I eventually consumed them all, though a few were past their sell-by dates.)
Being single, I can look upon this bemusedly—until I remember back when I was a little kid and was taken on interminable shopping excursions with Mom….

Which is why men bless online shopping every day.

Men go shopping. They just go shopping for different things.

Mine will buy stuff that’s on sale, we might/will use, or both, even if we don’t have the room to store it.

I know I’ve posted this before, but I still thinks it’s funny:

Men shop alright, just preferably without women. When you have diametrically opposed shopping methods.

At one time all three major sports and basketball were on at the same time. Might not get that again in our lifetimes.
