Speaker 1 (00:00):
Out to this, the days of women shouldering the brunt
of household shopping duties may soon be a thing of
the past.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
There's a new research out.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Over the past five years, there's been significant growth in
the proportion of men doing the household grocery shop. This
is from r MIT University and they've gone on to
say that men are now aware of mental loads and
unpaid labor that women are doing most of the time.
And the fact that men are aware of this and

(00:30):
observing this means that people are happier in their relationships.
So we thought we would talk about do you do
the shopping as if you're a man in your house and.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
They we're talking, why are you doing it?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
We're talking mainly grocery shopping. Yeah, so men are not
buying our brass.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm not going into the shop going Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I put this article on my social media last night
and a maid of mine commented and he said, and
he was serious, like he was taking it seriously. He
said he he started doing the grocery shop around COVID
because it was safer for him to do it, because
he didn't want the kids to get sick. So then
he kept on doing it and then He discovered that

(01:11):
he saved more money.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
On the weekly. So he said to his wife.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's not your domain anymore because emotional shopping and oh
I might try that. He just gets in, gets the
shopping done, and it kept the grocery price down.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
He's done. Well, I've done the shopping ever since Ange
and I have lived together. That's good because she said,
you're doing the shopping pretty much all right, and she
does a hell of a lot, right, So that's the
least I can do. She doesn't like going, do you too?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
She hates you know, I've talked about it that I
go in there and then I, well.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
You need to do poos. You need carusoes poohe's I
don't need the poohe's because I haven't. Are you just
go shopping? I have the evacuation.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Say the evacuation happens.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's something with the lights make you want to evacuate
your bow.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, but I don't enjoy grocery.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's a line from the ad.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
By the way, that's not me being fat.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's actually you need to step that out. I don't
think people would have heard the ad too much.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
There's an ad called Pooh's for carusos and they say,
do you want to evacuate your bow or something along
those lines, And we think that's the funniest terminology ever.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And I should support a client. But if I need
to evacuate, I just go grocery shop.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
But she leaves her trolley airboard in the middle of
the aisle.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
She's gone, so God.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
But in our house it's is you're asking the question,
who does a grocery shoping? I do a lot of
online shopping now, so that's just been a game to.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, that's another thing I would mind as part of this, right,
So who does the shopping at your house? So you
can girls, if you're still doing it, tell us why
you're doing it. But also have you flipped over to
online shopping so it just gets delivered?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
So just like my mate said, he started doing it
during COVID to keep family safe.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
What a hero.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yes, and then realized that he was saving lots of money.
When I started shopping online and just doing the click
and collect or whatever, I was saving money too.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
But didn't you have a whoopsie with the magpies eating
all your food delivered?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It took my mints and I blamed the dog and
I went and nearly went on the Facebook group and
went tie your dogs up, and then went and watched
the ring camera.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
And it was a little naughty little Maggie. All the
magpies got into the groceries.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, but anyway, who does the grocery shopping?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
And one double five seven one, one o two nine
is our number. And you could score yourself one hundred
dollars to return to the world as one at Racv
Royal Pines Resort, one spar that's nice.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Relax with that up. You've done all the shopping. That's right,
it does right.
