My soon-to-be husband shopped like that until I met him. I made him a challenge: we both take the same amount of money into the grocery, he buys as much of his junk as he can and I buy as much food (the good stuff, as in real produce, meats, etc.) as I can. We'll see who comes out ahead. The challenge was accepted.

He ended up with a couple bags, I had about six. I had the makings for an entire week's worth of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. He had three days worth, if that.

Now he's a fabulous cook and sniffs the produce before he buys it. I have created a monster, and my occasional suggestion re: takeout is met with horror. ;-)
