    Mine does but mostly because I coerce him too. I make a menu each week and then make the grocery list off of that, most weeks he has to fend for himself for both lunch and dinner due to opposite work schedules. If he doesn't tell me what he wants to eat throughout the week and what he would like from the grocery store then he is going to go hungry. So, yes he does help make the list but he is not allowed to go to the store because I end up spending double what I would while alone. LOL!

    no, if he did there would be a lot more sweets :P


    if there is something he can't live without he lets it known. However, my husband prefers to grocery shop with me so we can talk about the menu for the week while we shop, and if something is on sale we can switch up the menu. My husband is a picky eater, he doesn't like menu surprises he isn't prepared for :P

    As long as he gets his chocolate, I can buy what I want.

    Nope. No help in meal planning, grocery shopping or food prep. He does pay for all food out though and we eat out a fair amount.

    Mine does the menu planning, grocery list, grocery shopping, and about half the cooking... unless I butt my head in.

    edit to add: He's also an amazing couponer.

    No. He doesn't care much about food. He's happy if there are no onions in it, and it's not always chicken. He is very happy when I bring home chips and queso. I try to keep him stocked with that.

    baaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha *catches breath* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha no. he does not. LOL i ask "honey, what would you like?" and he responds "food". that being said, it actually makes it a little bit easier on me that he gives no input usually (unless there's something specific he's craving like eggrolls because mine are awesome haha). i know the types of things he likes and i have a great memory so when he sees something on tv and is like "i'd like to try that" (like that v8 energy) i remember and i pick it up while i'm out. he has made the whole "lifestyle" change easier because he eats what i cook. he doesn't care. if it turns out bad, we eat cereal or sandwiches and call it dinner. lol

    i make the list and plan out the meals, but my husband does all the shopping. he even gets the best produce, something i'm a big stickler about. sometimes i go with him, i get the produce, he gets the rest of the stuff, but mostly its just him.. such a great help :)

    Noooo.
    His list is:
    Little Debbie's
    Mountain dew
    Chips
    Snickers
    Moose tracks Ice cream
    Oreos

    Wasa crackers

    Baby carrots
    Sugar free fudgicles
    Flavored rice cakes

    Poor guy.

    Not at all. I sometimes wish he would though.

    Nope. I plan the meals usually & he cooks them (he is home by 3pm, I am not home until 5:30pm) but we are in this together & we have a STACK of recipes that we usually go off of but he is always open to try new things and never complains if they are a fail.

    That's what happens with mine. I go by myself and spend $100, he goes with and we spend $200. :laugh:

    Oh no - My hubby and I have a great deal going - I do all the shopping, planning and cooking and he cleans the kitchen after I am done! The hard part for me is shopping and cooking to balance our different requirements. We both work out, but I want to lose weight and he is a firefighter so can eat .5lb of pasta at one sitting and still be starving (and losing weight - grrr).

    I tell my hubby the day before I go grocery shopping to make a list or to let me know what he wants, he normally says... "ow whatever you wanna get!" So when he complains that I didnt get anything he wants, well now he gives me ideas:)
