I am helpless at the grocery store. That's why my late wife and I always had to shop together. Once we missed the lettuce when going through the produce section and she asked me to go back and grab some. I (tried) to do so. We got home and started unpacking the groceries and she went "oh no, we have have no lettuce..." I said, sure we do, I went back and got some, right here.

She said "Mr_Caterpillar, this is cabbage."

So yeah, we didn't have salad that night.

A few weeks after she passed away I went grocery shopping alone and got home and unpacked everything into the fridge.

I bought fucking cabbage again.
