[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 428829, member: 84"] DF and Andy's are good. If this is a never ending ongoing problem...........and trust me it was here for years...........I left them sit and walked away. I didn't worry about the cost, because husband didn't worry about the cost......if money came up short I simply reminded him if things weren't left out to spoil or get stale then there would probably be more money. Or I'd do the generic.........but I did generic too long trying to survive......so that one wouldn't work for me. husband still leaves them there on occasion. Once I'll allow the slip, I mean cuz even I've forgotten once or twice. (difference is I catch myself) Twice and I will walk away and leave it. I also won't let anyone else touch it. I want husband to[B] find it just as he left it. [/B]Now I don't know about yours, but mine loves to pin the blame on someone else. If no one touches it.......I can put it back onto him that HE did it cuz see everything is just how he left it. When he complains why didn't you put it away? My favorite response is Not My Job.
