s/o: weird grocery purchase combinations

[Deleted]

MrsJ's thread got me thinking about the times you run into the grocery store to grab just a few items, and the combination is just weird. Not all cute and meal-like, such as a bottle of wine, some veggies and a loaf of French bread. Yesterday I asked DH if he would mind picking up a couple things - cat litter and milk. I remember thinking that just sounded gross. What's the weirdest grocery combination you've purchased recently?

I can't think of anything recently, but I've got some fun grocery store stories involving condoms:

1. Years ago before the H and I married, we went to the store and bought some condoms and some beer (or something like that, I'm not sure), and along with the receipt was a store coupon for....pickles.

2. A few years ago we were having a conversation with friends about how the H didn't want to pay to get what little he had of his hair cut anyomre, and they offered to give him their clipper set that they hadn't used in years to him. The H went on to use it for quite a while, only taking the one or two pieces he needed, and one day decied to see what else was in the box. We we found the original receipt of when our (male) friend bought it at Walmart. The two things purchased: condoms and a hair clipper set. We teased friend about this for weeks. He claims he never used it on his pubes.

Today, I bought a baby gate, 3 jars of spaghetti sauce (I can only get this at Wal-Mart unless I want to pay 2x the price at the specialty store) and a thing of bananas.

my girlfriend once bought an EPT test and a box of tampax. It ended up she didn't need the tampax for a while.

I know I've looked at my stuff on a conveyor belt before and kind of internally laughed but can't recall what. There's always something kind of fitting/satisfying when its just a box of tampons and a slice of chocolate cake.

I used to have a pic but deleted!

On Valentine's Day this year I had pregnancy tests, a bottle of wine, and a cookie cake

Earlier this year I checked out at TJs with prenatal vitamins, a jar of pickles, and 3 bottles of wine. I got a MAJOR side-eye for that one from the older female cashier. LOL

My personal favorite, though, was a few months ago - I went through the checkout line with a bag of Riesen, two jars of hot fudge, and a bottle of champagne. The cashier (who I actually know personally) was visibly trying not to giggle.

You ladies have funny ones - much better than cat litter and milk. LOL. Makes me want to go buy chocolate and tampons just see what kind of reaction I get.

We're usually having to buy some sort of kid snack and at then grabbing a six pack of some alcoholic beverage to deal with his insane diet and demands. This is usually an every other day trip. Since he usually requests some sort of fruit. It's even better on the days one of us has to pick up condoms. And speaking of condoms, I had to go pick some up one time and that's typically a DH run but I was out checking on the house one day and he asked me to get some. Ya'll I felt like a guy in the tampon aisle. I had no idea what kind to get and I totally felt weird going up and paying for them. Ha.

My last trip to MD to visit my parents-

8 loaves of Brooklyn bread (because you can't get real bread where they live)

6 boxes of Oxytrol Patches for my mother's overactive bladder (because evidently nobody leaks where they live; this was enough to cover her until she gets to FL where they know a thing or two about leaky bladders)

and some power steering fluid for DS's car.

The other day, I went and got OJ, cream cheese, and condoms. LOL

I think every trip to target is funny. Last time was laxatives, tons of snacks, underwear for my husband.
