someone is up to some heart attack – and it ain’t these two

I normally shop on an empty stomach just before lunch, because I can buy lunch at the grocery store. Yesterday, I bought a whole roasted chicken. I froze most of it, but I ate part, because I wanted to throw the rib cage away. I also bought potato salad.

“JUST EGGS!”

Are you two deaf or just stupid? Andy clearly said just eggs! JUST! EGGS!!

I’ve gone food shopping on an empty stomach before but, my wallet was emptier.

The best stores have hourly truck rental at the store for those that don’t have SUVs or pickups.

Current food prices make this kind of impulse buying a bit easier to avoid. But some people are very impulsive.

I didn’t know Roger was a millionaire

My wife and I (in our house it takes two people to do the shopping or even to pick up a pizza) go to the store with a dedicated list of things to buy. However, if there is something on sale …

I have become somewhat of a butcher, dividing packages of meat into smaller counts and cutting up a 10 pound whatever into sizes we can use for a meal. Our freezer is a big part of our food strategy.

My wife considers herself to be queen of the BOGO.

Another reason my wife and I will go shopping together is to play hide-and-seek. She will send me back to the produce section to pick something up and then move onto another aisle. I cannot eliminate places that we have already been. Part of her strategy is to double back.

From Chapter 4 of another fictious book that I am writing: “Life of a Retired Couple.”

Chapter 5: Using an Excel Spreadsheet to Manage Your Medications and why it takes a quart of water to take your morning pills.

Well the food they have picked up so far ought to last them until supper.

They still have not gotten the eggs — and will forget them for sure.

Roger’s big mistake was bringing along Peter. Andy’s big mistake was trusting Roger to accomplish a simple task.

this is what she gets for starving her family like some wannabe health food guru

Went shopping while hungry and am now the proud owner of Aisle #3.

What did they get for Jason, Paige, and Andy?

Guys, don’t forget the eggs…

Yet another comic showing males as irresponsible, I get tired of them. I am a man and I do the family shopping, laundry and much of the cooking and I am completely capable as many other men are.

Ah, now we see “credit cards plural” in action!

She should have cleaned out their ears before they left, or just give them enough cash to buy eggs.

Now imagine if they DID have empty stomachs.
