Viral shopping list

Who would have thought shopping for our own groceries could be so difficult? If you have ever called your mom or dad for help when you were out buying veggies for the week then this shopping list will make complete sense to you. If not, sit down and have a look at the list this woman has had to write for her husband.

For a successful trip to the grocery store, you must pay attention to detail. You’ve got to check all produce for bruises or signs of rotting, and you need to keep a lookout for any specials or deals. So when you’re passing the grocery shopping torch to someone, like, say, your husband, then you should probably make the list as descriptive as possible.

Speaking to BBC about her viral shopping list, Era said,

“After Gaurav and I got married three years ago we decided to split the household chores,” she says, “Gaurav was very supportive and was ready to learn cooking (which is not common for a lot of men in India). But there was one problem. I wasn’t aware of back then – he had no experience with anything related to cooking. When I first sent him to purchase vegetables, it was an epic fail and an argument ensued between us. The second time was no better. Nor was the third.”

Era added,

“Era says vegetable vendors soon picked up on her husband’s naivety and began selling him substandard and spoiled products. The confusion led to the task becoming increasingly cumbersome when it was her husband’s turn to visit the supermarket. He would keep sending photos on WhatsApp to get my approval. So I had to get to the bottom of the problem.”

Era Golwalkar, created the illustrated list for her husband Gaurav, as she was sick of him purchasing the wrong vegetables when he went shopping.

The insanely detailed list had important notes regarding how to choose each item he was supposed to buy, as well as diagrams. Yes, she drew little images of onions, potatoes, and palak, or spinach.

With a shopping list like this, there was basically no room for error. She even went so far as to tell her husband to ask for free mirchi.
