I live in California, the food here is extremely expensive. My (25m) roommate landlord(55m) is a middle aged “disabled” guy who doesn’t work and he receives government assistance. I let him grocery shop for me once, we made a list together. I of course don’t want to upset him (he is a real hot head) so a lot of the times I just go with the flow on things. He added a few items I didn’t want but I kind of just let it happen because they couldn’t have totaled more than 15 - 20 bucks. When he came back last time from grocery shopping, he spent waaay more than I intended, at least double what I normally spend. I asked to see a receipt and he blew a gasket, freaked out. Eventually he let it go, had me give about 20 percent off what he originally asked. Now I just tend to Instacart groceries because I have free delivery on my orders and I only need about 50-75 dollars of food for me for the week. I don’t have a vehicle so it’s my best option. Every time he sees me grabbing my groceries, he goes on and on complaining about how it would be so much cheaper to let him go to sams club for me, and I’m an idiot for doing this, yada yada. I feel like he is just trying to indirectly sell me his food stamps. AITA for paying more via Instacart just to spite him?
