[quote=Anonymous]First, you need to tell your DH to stop buying cheap stuff unless he is going to eat/drink them.  You tell him what brands, styles, types of things to buy (e.g. do not buy any more supermarket apples unless they are Honeycrisp/Envy/Pink Lady/whatever, do not bring Coors into the house UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DRINK IT, and so on).

Second, since you walk to the Farmer's market, invest in a rolling collapsible shopping cart or wagon that you can take with you to the Farmer's market and you can buy 20 lbs of apples.

Salad dressing, make two portions at a time.  Put one bottle in the main fridge.  Put the second portion into an unlabeled opaque bottle in the second fridge.  Like, get a dark glass Coors bottle, empty it, wash it and put your extra salad dressing in that in the second fridge.  He'll never find touch it and you can use it whenever he finishes the main dressing.

The most important thing is to teach him not to buy and bring things into the house that no one wants.  Then you can work on supplying enough of the things that everyone wants.  And for special things, like your dressing, you find ways to hide it so he will not find it.[/quote]
