FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for July 08, 2014

From what Roger since in the first panel, who is “they” of which he spoke? (So much for buying just eggs as Andy requested in the previous day’s strip.)

I fit that ‘male’ type. I once in a while go to the mall or big box store to stroll or get out for a while, but usually I’m on a mission to get what I want/need and get out.My brother seems the opposite—seems to buy much more than he planned to get. He even posted a rare occurrence on FB that he actually went to a store and got only what he went for. He impressed himself.

But did you get the EGGS?

I’m just one guy, but the only place I like to shop is at a bookstore (remember those, kids?). Give me two hours at Powell’s in Portland and I are a happy boy.

Andy should’ve see this coming. Never send the two biggest eaters to a grocery store, especially given what she feeds them.

Really? I mean, can you still buy Ripple?

For men, shopping is something to get done, for women, shopping is something to do. Women shop, men raid.

Having said that, I actually enjoy shopping with my wife. She’s fun to watch :). We play games. She’ll send me to get something in the grocery store and then move on. Then it becomes a game of hide and seek.

The average housefly maintains a straight line for a longer period of time than my wife does in a grocery store.

How are they going to fit all that food in their house?

Hey, with what Andi usually serves for dinner, who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to force her hand on meals?

I find this same problem when I shop. That is why I never shop when I am hungry.p.s. @ neverenoughgold; if John Smith meant Butter “Ripple”, then yes. I am able to find both mickey and 750 ml bottles here in Alberta and BC. Yummy ! Friends and I love it around the campfire on any night.
