Does your significant other go to stores with you?

I do the grocery shopping, and most of the other household shopping, though Ron would be be happy to come with me if I asked him to.

We shop together for larger household items (we bought a new area rug for the den right before Thanksgiving) Sometimes we do that in person and sometimes we sit together at the computer and order online.

I do 90% of the Christmas/birthday shopping for our blended family, though larger ticket items we discuss first before purchase.

There are times I’ll ask him to drive me to a store and drop me off, usually because I don’t want to spend time parking etc. so he’ll drop me off, go park and amuse himself scrolling through social media and various car and motorbike sites (he’s such a gear head lol.) I text him when I’m checking out and he’ll pull up about the time I walking out the store.
 

we simply can not go together... he drives me nuts
every grocery trip he kept adding stuff in cart we did not need or use. asked him what is his plan he said "i don't know "
I shop with meals in mind ....
he throws stuff in cart like he is making one of those surprise baskets on the cooking competition shows no plan... no theme... just odd items see if you can put them together.

another downfall is his inability to stop buying in meat department
we had 3 days before vacation one time I had those days planned....... he had stopped by store evidently having some sort of meat sale he had 7 days worth of meats for dinners ... not a big thing i had to freeze most of it....
he dislikes freezing says it makes it taste funny ..... told him THINK or are we eating 7 plus days of meat before going on road trip and vacation....cause indigestion and meat sweats was not what i was planning to spend my vacation on ......

for awhile he was good about asking how many dinners etc are we looking at if he went to store...
but in a few months back to him bringing in bags mostly meat and odd item i can incorporate ...... i wish he would not even go in alone let alone with me.
