Woman writes the most hilarious shopping list for husband

Ever sent off someone else to do the groceries for you? If you’re a picky shopper, you’ll know just how annoying it is when they come back with the wrong thing – a too-hard avocado, slightly-browning bananas, too-big potatoes…

Well, one woman has come up with an ingenious (and hilarious) way of ensuring her hubby returned home with the right produce – and picky shoppers around the world are loving it.

Era Golwalkar, a 29-year-old IT worker from India, wrote a very specific, partly-illustrated grocery list for her husband, in which she specifies the exact shape, size, colour and feel of the items she needs.

From “some yellow and some red” tomatoes with “no holes” to “small size”, “round shape” onions, her list is resonating with everyone who knows exactly what they want when it comes to shopping for fruit and veg.

She even has special instructions for picking palak (spinach), bhindi (okra), methi (fresh fenugreek) and mirchi (chillies), which she tells her husband he should “ask for free” – a common practice in India.

The relatable list, which was posted to Twitter, earned Era over 1,400 retweets and almost 6,000 likes. After its success, she shared a follow-up photo explaining why she’s so picky about her groceries.

Well, you can’t argue with that! Tell us in the comments below, who does the grocery shopping in your house?
