[quote=Anonymous]When DH and I decided who would do what when we moved in together, we decided that I would be the one to do our food/household shopping.
I also cook all of our meals.  
I plan meals and cook 5-6 nights out of the week.  The other nights we eat leftovers or will go out to dinner.  I work full-time + out of the home and I pack a lunch every day.  DH works from home and I make a lunch for him.
DH eats like a horse and snacks throughout the day.  I always make sure to have plenty of food for him to eat...fresh fruit, nuts, cut-up veggies, chips and salsa, fruit snacks, muffins...you name it.
I make a list and shop every Saturday morning and while we aren't broke, we definitely have to stick to a budget. Our weekly grocery budget is gone in that first trip.  I very, very rarely have to make a second trip to the store, as I make sure to get everything we need.
DH is constantly bugging me to go to the store because "there is nothing to eat."
Our refrigerator, freezer and pantry are FULL.  All he has to do is heat up his lunch.  Everything else is done for him.
I ask him every week what he wants and his response is always "you know what I like."  I buy what he likes, do all his cooking and he still gripes.
He raves about my cooking, so I know that's not the issue.  I also cook a wide variety of meals and buy different types of snacks every week.
We already spend a good bit on groceries and I don't have time during the week to make extra grocery store trips.  I tell him that if he wants something, he can go to the store himself to buy it.  He never does.
What is his deal?  Anyone else's husband do this.[/quote]
