I can relate. Last St. Patrick’s day I told my wife I’d pick up the groceries, and on the list was “corn beef (10).” So, I picked up 10 packages of corn beef. When I got home she asked “What’s all this”? So I showed her the list and she said “I meant 10 POUNDS of corn beef”!
My wife and I avoid things like this, we go grocery shopping together. She says that she brings me along, to keep her from spending too much, however, that does not always work.

This is so true – if I was doing the shopping, details are not needed. When others do the shopping, if it’s not spelled out, disaster reigns.

Tofu? Leave that off my list.

If she’d put Cheerios on the list, maybe the little circles would make more sense.

Once my mother had “dill” on the list, I bought dill seed. She wanted pickles.

You have to be very specific. I do the same if I am not the one getting the groceries.

I wrote on the grocery list to buy lettuce and my ex-husband bought cabbage instead.

I get the joke but I’m stuck on why her sweetheart would volunteer to go to the store for her. Maybe to add Bacon or Chips to the list?
