| Ladies, You need to stop this habit! by Nnamdipapa(op): 8:44pm On Jan 28, 2025 |
So, I was in Walmart to pick up some items. We had already made a list before leaving home of what to buy. As a busy guy, I always like to stick to the list and the budget. After getting everything we came for, she suddenly remembered she had to buy herbal tea and some other items that weren’t on the list. I stood waiting around while she wandered through the store, looking to add more items to our list. Why is it that women find it hard to stick to a shopping list and budget? This makes me angry, and it’s not the first time. Every time we go shopping, we end up wasting time. I’ve also heard a couple of friends complain about this same issue. Ladies, women, you need to stop this habit—it drives us men up the wall!

![]() I totally understand your point bro ![]() I remember a conversation I had recently with a passenger who boarded my keke......He told me that these days,that whenever he goes out on shopping with his banny,that he only goes out with an amount based on his budget.....That whatever that may come besides his budget will automatically be pinned down on his baby,and that has been working perfectly.... ![]() Women are a funny species and it takes only the grace of God for a man to successfully understand them . |

Sonnobax15:The thing tire me honestly. I was even suggesting she comes in her own vehicle so I can drive home anytime I want. |

Your error was following a woman to go shopping. It never ends well. I used to follow my wife to the market but I have sworn never to do that again. Women are actually very mad. Na for market you go know say those people no too join for head. |

You cannot understand. You cannot understand at all... You cannot understand the richness of the colours of the commodities. When you feast your eyes on the wares, something calls to you and as a woman, you must respond. E dey our DNA. You cannot resist that call. YOU MUST ANSWER. I fit stay for supermarket 3 hours, window shopping and touching things. Don't let me start on perfumes. When I am in that section, I must sniff ALL the perfumes on the shelves before my body go come down. The ones I can't sniff because they are sealed will have their ingredients and properties thoroughly scrutinised, and the day e enter my head, I stand there and google them online. See, make I no write too much long story. Men will never understand jare |

Why must you go shopping together. If you fund the shopping, then hand them a prepaid dedit card with the exact shopping amount and go find something else to do. If you don't fund the shopping, then you should stop complaining and avoid going together. Either you go or she goes. And if you share the bills, then have a special "shopping" account with prepaid card that is only funded to cover the agreed list. No extra money, no extra shopping. |

There's a saying that men go to the market with a budget of N20k and end up paying N20k for items worth N15k that they need, but women go to the market with a budget of N20k and end up paying N20k for items valued at N50 that they don't need ![]() |

🤥 Why shopping with a lady in the first place? Is there anything romantic in it or what ![]() |
| Re: Ladies, You need to stop this habit! by Ishilove: 3:24pm On Jan 30, 2025 |
Sonnobax15:Even with budget, we are still allowed to window shop. No negotiation |
| Re: Ladies, You need to stop this habit! by GloriousGbola: 3:24pm On Jan 30, 2025 |
Nnamdipapa:Not sure what the deal is. Even if I have a list I am always on the lookout for something I might need. Maybe because Nigeria is not like the west where the item you want will always be available for purchase. |

Except you want to spend more than you budget, there's always something she needs that you never know. Be wise. |

![]() Sonnobax15:U irk me with your comments, so shallow and ignorant, how does what he complained about correlates with your useless poverty stricken story? Op is complaining about time wasting and youre complaining about money. How dem take relate? Men hustle o so poverty won’t make u start thinking all ladies need is money. |

Guy, stop going shopping with ladies. Why should you go shopping with a lady, I no understand. Why ?? Tell me why?? Must you shop together? Why cant everybody shop their shopping? |
| Re: Ladies, You need to stop this habit! by ibrocool(m): 3:27pm On Jan 30, 2025 |
Women can never be satisfied, that is their nature. If you like plan one month writing list of items, they will still see other things they want to buy. The only way men can avoid overspending is to be strict with budget. I prefer going shopping alone or asking my wife to go on her own. Going together always lead to something else. |

Women are built differently, they thrive where men dread. They like forbidden things 😜 |

I think it's part of programing for a large number of women. A guy can leave his house and go to the supermarket 🛒 and tells himself I am going to buy toothpaste and bread and that's it. He walks to the supermarket and goes straight to the aisle where these things are sold, picks them, goes to the Cashier, makes payment and leaves But for a woman, this simple task may not be that simple So as a man going shopping with your woman just ready for the back of your mind say you go do plenty detour. It may start with this innocent phrase "Let's just look around small" |

It's because women know how to plan for future needs and stock them up now. You may even be the first to drink that herbal tea if the need arises. |

Dear OP, unless the level of your patience is at full bar and you have all the time, I'd advise that, next time, you stay away. As for me, I have vowed not to go shopping of any kind with a lady. |
