I usually do most of the cooking, so I do most of the grocery shopping. A few times, I sent my boyfriend and he ended up buying some of the wrong things. Obviously, not his fault but I hate it when they’ll buy certain off brand products when I specifically wrote down what brand to buy! I also enjoy shopping. So, who does most of the shopping in your relationship?
My wife does most of the shopping for a couple of reasons.
1. We live in a rural area and she's in town more often than I because she works there four days a week. Aside from the usual large chain grocery stores, she also goes to smaller markets and places that sell organic food.
She also makes runs to Trader Joe's and Costco every three weeks or so because it's easier to get there from town than from our house.
2. She's like you. She's a picky eater and she does most of the cooking, so it's easier for her to get what she'll eat. I hate it when I go to the store and she complains that I didn't get the right thing (s). LOL
I really don't care for cooking. And when I do, it usually contains things that she doesn't care for. It's a good thing that I enjoy her cooking and am not picky. She's actually a great cook.
3. When I go shopping, I tend to look for deals. I'll buy seafood for the freezer, frozen meals that I can eat when she's not home, canned food, stuff from the deli, and snacks. 😂

Ironically, my fiancee works at a major grocery store, but she does not do any shopping when she is at work. We usually go shopping together. She is Chinese and her food preferences are different from mine, so she makes most of the selections but I go along to veto anything that sounds too outrageous to bring home (like octopus eyeballs.) And, frankly, I enjoy doing mundane things like grocery shopping with her.
I do especially because I like to keep track on how much I am spending. And I like to over stock on food. I only go grocery once a month. I do the maal prep planning for the week. Jeez can't your spouse not focus? I bet even a 6 year old can figure that out.
Me and my boyfriend go together, even though we don’t live together.

it used to be either me... or both, depending on the timings and availability
and yes, because I can a bit fussy about some of these things... lmao Before I got my new job we used to go together. Now my wife does it. Sometimes she buys the wrong stuff.
That's women's work! I wouldn't even know where to find a grocery store.
Unfortunately they have no program with special rates that people with disabilities can go grocery shopping, so I rely on Walmart. com sometimes they have everything I want and other times they may not and this year I'm stuffing two whole chickens plus having some side dishes. Happy Thanksgiving Day !!!
We actually go together
I do it. And almost all the cooking. My wife didn’t learn to cook and doesn’t know what to buy. And when she goes grocery shopping she tends to buy half the quantity and spend twice as much.
I'm single, but, if I wasn't, I would likely do the shopping. More so because I kind of know where things are. I learned at a young age, and not much has changed.
I do it all mostly cos my husband is usually terrible at it ahaha
