Laughter is good for the soul so you know it’s great for marriages! Don’t be afraid to enjoy each other & have fun anywhere, even at the grocery store. One thing about my husband & I, we really do know how to be silly with each other. We know how to have fun, even if it’s grocery shopping. So a date at Kroger didn’t seem too far fetched for us.
Time wasn’t on our side this week. We just couldn’t get “enough” time to have a date night. As not to miss out on spending time together this week, I invited my husband to go grocery shopping with me.
Now, please understand two things: 1. he HATES grocery shopping and 2. I know he hates it but we needed some time together.
I knew that this was a big chance I was taking because this could go well or go terribly wrong. Hmm, hey I’m always one for pushing the envelope.
Well, he was game. He said this should be interesting especially since I’ve recently started back couponing.
Let me just give you a glimpse into how the grocery store date went:
We had soooo much fun! I even got the mister to “shop.”
I was able to show him my madness when it comes to grocery shopping.
We had so much fun. This unorthodox date was perfect for our schedule + I was able to share with my husband something I enjoy doing and how I save money on our grocery bill.
My point, don’t limit your fun & laughter to just your house or a special occasion. Enjoy your spouse!
Tomorrow isn’t promised.
Disclaimer: No customer at Kroger was disturbed by all the fun we had in the store!

We grocery shop together all the time too! It also helps us keep each other in line – I have a tendency to stock up on junk food…
Jenna Wood says
I love this, we try to find time to enjoy the more mundane things too. I believe the whole point to having a partner is to make the less than fun times more fun!

We have had a few date night at the grocery store! If I saved that much money I would continue the date with celebration drinks!

I think there is nothing wrong with a grocery shopping date. Sometimes those are the best kind!
Lois Alter Mark says
When you’re married for a long time or you just have crazy schedules, you take date night however you can get it! Looks like you had a blast – plus you accomplished your shopping at the same time!
Jennifer says
I love grocery shopping with my hubby. It is a great way to catch up with each other, and get a dreaded chore out of the way. Love that someone else does this as well!

Sarah says
I have a love hate relationship with grocery shopping with my husband. While it can be a great way to get some time in together, he makes my bill so high! Got any tips on keeping him from throwing extra stuff in the cart?
Dawn Lopez says
This is such a great dating idea! I know life can get pretty hectic so fitting in quality time and fun while shopping sounds perfect to me.
Reesa Lewandowski says
My husband and I go on dates to the grocery store all the time LOL. My friends laugh at us! But it’s our quality time together!
Cristine says
I hate grocery shopping with my husband. I don’t think this would be a good date night unless there were free wine samples.
Catvills says
This story is interesting! I love doing grocery. Have fun and enjoy to the both of you.
Monica (NYCTechMommy) says
Hahaha! I’m glad we’re not alone! My hubs and I take shopping dates all the time. Anytime we get to carve out a little time by ourselves is a good time — even if it is just grocery shopping! Plus he’s much better at finding the good deals.
Jacqui Odell says
I love shopping at Krogers. Lot of great deals! Plus some of them have click list. Which I am a huge fan of!

LOL ha ha Sarah I definitely understand. Go over the list with him before you guys go. Get two baskets. Tell him anything that he wants to add that is not on the list, he must put in his basket and pay for them. lol
