The stress of picking out mixing spoons

My wife gave me a detail at the store go get mixing spoons. I’m like ok I have it covered considered it done. So I show up at the meat department toss the spoons into the cart. Wrong how was I supposed to know we do not buy plastic mixing spoons only wooden spoons. She is like really we been married thirty one years do we ever use plastic mixing spoons.

on fine cookware. Plus, no BPA would leak out when they come in contact with heat. Good luck!

Always ask to see what you are replacing, then take a pic of it with your phone. If there is no replacement, kindly but firmly refuse the task until you are sent a pic from the internet of the new item. 🤓

A man who appeared to be in his 40's,
standing in the bread aisle,
talking (I assume) to his wife on his phone,
seeking instructions on which bread to buy.

I later wondered if he did this throughout the shopping trip.

I can see that. On those very rare occasions when I send DH to the store it's "Giant brand squishy white" which he can figure out.
