Gender stereotypes need not apply in our household
John wanted to go shopping, because his pants are all wearing out. I said, "Do you mind if we check the men's department at DepartmentStoreBrand, because I'd like to pick up a wallet or billfold, and MensStoreBrand isn't likely to have one for me."
Final total? 11 items for him (3 of which are pants; he also got a lot of shirts), 3 for me (one of which is the aforementioned billfold). Retail price would have been $572.46, but because John is a better discount shopper than most women I know, he paid $143.03... not including the $30 in "save X on your next visit" discounts. Overall, my discounts were 53%, paltry in comparison to his 70%.
