Heh....
Even at the best of times it's almost guaranteed that whatever specific item my better half puts on the list will either not be available, or they'll have changed the packaging to the point where I'm not sure it's the correct item.
It's also a running gag that if my wife adds some kind of treat/snack (like a chocolate bar or candy) every single other similar product will be on sale and the product she wants will be ridiculously overpriced when compared to the other items...
I'm the coupon clipper and flyer peruser in the family. I make meals and stock cupboards based on what's currently on sale, while she makes menu plans ahead of time and pays whatever price is being asked at the time....
(And heaven forbid some poor husband is sent on an errand to grab womens' "personal products"..... there's 20 different versions of each brand name, and they seem to change packaging every bloody month..... ).
