    What happens/ What do you do when you go for shopping at a suppermarket?

    I tend to be # 4. But my fiance has a tendancy to be #1. We always go together and sometimes he says"can't buy it if it not on the list" Grrrrr. But what is funny is he makes the list and writes everything in singular. So this is what our list looks like when he writes it: -orange -apple...
