It's tough to trust somebody with a shopping list, especially when you're particular and they, well, really suck at shopping.
But one wife came up with the ultimate solution... and now her ultra-detailed shopping list is making its rounds on Twitter.
It really ought to serve as the standard for all grocery lists moving forward.
Era lives in India with her husband Gaurav. She's an artist and, as we'll see, very particular and specific when it comes to picking up groceries.
There's just so much to unpack here. The size charts...the onion description...the frugal request to ask for free extras... It just goes on. It's nearly impossible for her husband to mess up the grocery run with this level of detail.
She barely tweeted at all before posting her list, so it must have been pretty surprising for her when thousands of people started retweeting.
Talk about spelling it out. Obviously, this couple has learned how to be 100% honest with one another.
Not only does she fully spell out the preferred curvature of the peppers he needs to get, she also slips in a note to remember to ask for free stuff. You might as well get free stuff if you can, right?
It makes sense, really. He's not really food-inclined and Era is, so to make it as foolproof as possible, she gives him excellent shopping instructions.
Of course, there are still some questions about specific details in her list. Fortunately, Era later provided a helpful legend to help decode things.
She probably wasn't expecting her list to go viral, but when it did, Era cleared a few things up by making her already-detailed list crystal clear.
In just a short note, we learn how to buy ripe onions as well as scope out the best ingredients by shape, size, and color.
Look, he's not saying he's perfect, but he's certainly making an effort to get better with every shopping trip. That's all anyone could ask for.
There's something satisfying about someone with this level of meticulousness. There's absolutely nothing ambiguous in the notes that she makes.
He's not a foodie and she is, but she's willing to help and he's willing to learn. Great lessons all around!
