I used to experience that sometimes. These days, time is so limited, I just want to get in and out as quickly as possible, so I don't have time to enjoy the pleasure of the hunt.

I've done this many times, and so has Mrs. Dallas. What did we do in the pre-cell phone days??? Usually I know what kind of oil I want. For me it's usually more "they don't have the brand of whatever that you like. Do you want me to just not get it, or take another brand?" or "They have frozen buffalo chutney on sale... if I buy six boxes of it, do we have room in the freezer for them?"
If you didn't see it, I'm sure you'd enjoy the commercial for digital cameras and printers (from HP I think, but I'm not sure) that featured The Wife going to the store and taking photos, which she then used to print up a visual list of Here's What You Need To Buy for The Husband.
