Beats the hell out of me. I've encountered men with lists, obviously
sent to the store by their wives, who are clueless about shopping. (I'm
talking over the course of the last 30 years.) They don't think about
coupons or even getting the best price. They just want to pick up
what's on the list and get the hell out of there. LOL

Last year I was shopping for feta cheese for quiche. There was a man
standing there with a list in his hand. There was a BOGO of Athenos
brand crumbled feta but he just grabbed the first thing he saw on the
shelf. I pointed out the other one was on sale. He was very happy
about that and said his wife would be, too.

I rarely see men who are very enthusiastic about shopping alone, much
less using coupons or taking advantage of BOGO's.
