Does it have girls on trampolines?
"Honey, I sent you to the store for eggs and milk three hours ago? What took you so long?"
I am a man. I do 95% of the grocery shopping for my family. Always have. Always will.
am I now to be considered a leftist attacking the family?
Man Aisle?
Alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
And copies of "Big 'Uns"
The bottom line is the grocery store, particularly for individuals but even for couples, is not a better deal than a place like McDonald's.
They are designed around overeating families' demands. Couples or individuals will face considerable waste or seemingly unending duplicative meals.

Good idea, but the wrong retailers are attempting this.
Try this same experiment at an ACE Hardware, True Value, or Lowes. Home Depot, if I recall, is a rainbow warrior, so it wouldn’t work there.
If I could go to ACE, pick up my groceries AND the stuff I need for my weekend projects, it would save me at least an hour. Lord knows the stores are big enough that they could try it.
I couldn’t by lamp oil for a lantern at Lowes. You gotta question their creds on that oversight.
Still, while you are at it, stock ammo. Pick up a steak, 10mm ammo, and materials for a planter box for the backyard in one trip.
I assure you that men are rethinking the marriage thing. In my family alone there are three who won’t do it, and aren’t gay. Why give up half of everything, and almost all the sex?
It wouldn’t shock me to hear that NOW had been secretly sabotaging progess on a male oral contraception pill. The revenue hit to women would be huge.
My wife has driven over 75 miles to several stores, only to come back to the first store and buy the product. I used to get on her case, so now she checks prices online first.
Men tend to grocery shop quickly, they don't usually graze, they get in for what they want and get out.
That's why I go to Walmart. I've picked up a movie, milk, bread, other groceries, women "thingies", claybirds, shells, and some .45 ACP all on sale btw and some "wife beater" shirts all in one trip.
You don't have Menards nearby, do you?
They've been doing this for years. They carry all the essentials, plus their junk food is awesome.
I don’t know about separate aisles, but I think there should be separate checkout lines for men and women. Once we are in line, we won’t leave everything sitting on the conveyor belt, then go back into the store because we realized that we forgot something. Instead, a man will say “screw it - I’ll get it at the 7-11 on the way home.” (Yes, we know it costs twice as much there, but we don’t care!)
Here in PA we men have had our own grocery stores for a long time. The generic term being “Beer Distributors”. They have it all; beer, ice, chips, nuts and beef jerkey.
With buxom assistants in German tavern wench outfits, you know, to reach up and get the stuff off the top of the shelves for us so we don’t have to strain ourselves. I could go for that.
Nope. I’m in the People’s Soviet of Washington State, Northwest Okreg (District).
That’s funny. At a recent trip to Wal-Mart I knew my redneck-ification was nearly complete... the conveyer belt had beer, condoms, shotgun shells, and rib-eye.
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need.
does she have a sister?
I just bought a new fly rod last week that was on sale. The Mrs yelled at me about the money I had squandered.
“But honey, look at how much I saved at this price.” I said.
It didn’t fly (no pun intended) but I still have a new rod.
Now that I think about it, I was the only woman in the grocery store this morning. One guy was getting a deli take out, 3 elderly men were in line ahead of me and two younger ones were behind. The two checkers and the two sackers were also male and the stockers were all male. Another guy was smoking outside and two more were in the parking lot. The only woman I saw had walked out as I was walking in.
