I'm married to a CPA. There is a certain procedure that is undertaken each week when compiling the grocery list. I am asked if there are any specific meals I want. I usually chime in with 1-2 suggestions. She then searches the Kroger app for electronic coupons and goes through all her paper coupons. Based upon my suggestions, her wants, and available coupons, that week's meals are selected and the grocery list is tailored to those meals. There are never any surprises as far as what the meals will be. If she tries something new, I will know about it in advance. If that is something that I absolutely do not like/want then I will veto it and it will not make the grocery list. This rarely happens because she is a much pickier eater than I am. If I do agree to some new meal and it turns out I don't like it, I eat it and then suggest that it be removed from the rotation because it wasn't my favorite. It does not offend her, because again, she's a very picky eater and is a rational person who understands that regardless of the source of the meal you can't change your own taste buds.
