I do the grocery shopping...but if he's home when i get home, he puts them all away :)
We usually do it together, but once in awhile I do it without him.
ugh i do 90% of it! it makes more sense since i get off work an hour earlier, so i just go on the way home and then we can prep and eat when he gets home. but sometimes i dread the grocery store!
I make the list, and he calls me on his way home from work to ask what he should get (sometimes multiple times a week). We go to the farmer's market on Sunday together. We also have a farmstand near our house, and I'll stop there some days. I do most of the cooking, he does the dishes. I sometimes do wish he'd be more proactive about this stuff, but I also don't really mind the compromise we have. If you're unhappy, I think you need to talk about it. It can't be that you do *all* the work and he does only the eating. Maybe he'd be more willing to do the shopping if you made the list?

If i want to eat junk and get fat, I'll let him go food shopping 
But since I don't like junk food and he'd NEVER buy things like whole wheat pasta, low cal cheese, turkey, skim milk, lean pockets, or tofu on his own, it'll end up being my job. Although he's commented that we get to go together when we're married....I'm sure that won't last long.
i LOVE grocery shopping, btw. I find it relaxing and soothing to troll the aisles real slow and think about what I wanna eat all week. When my FI comes in town, I make it a point to buy stuff he likes though like orange soda. Except this past weekend cuz i was so busy...i made him egg beaters and boca and he was such a trooper. He tried it and made a face. 
I typically do it myself, but he does on occasion as well. We do try to go together if we can. It makes it much easier to go together so that we both get what we want. :)
I do the grocery shopping b/c he hates it. I hate it too, but someone's got to do it. If he's home when I get back from the store, I have him carry everything in from the car and put the stuff away.
My sister and her husband have a deal where whoever does the shopping, the other one puts the things away, so both of them know what the new food is and things don't go to waste.
I do 100%.

I do the grocery shopping and cooking and he pays!! I have his Discover card just for groceries. I think that's fair! 
We go together. We kind of split up and get what we want for breakfast and lunch. At the end, we rally together and decide what we'll have for dinner. There have been a few times where he's gone by himself, there's usually an abundance of carbs. I love him to death, but the man still hasn't figured out that meatloaf, potato salad, mashed potatoes and garlic bread is a balanced meal.
I do all the grocery shopping and I only do it once a month. I have fun planning it out and trying to figure out what I'm going to be cooking throughout the month. It's almost like a game for me to get things cheap and also to try new recipes. We used to go together but I think I enjoy going by myself because he is impatient.
We both do! every week - Sundays or Mondays are our grocery days! Its fun times for us!
I do the majority of it by myself because my fiance hates it but he'll join me every so often. I'm pretty sure if it was all left up to him he would live off of cereal, ramen and meat to throw on the grill.
We GO together but I'm the one throwing things into the cart. I will tell him "go get brussel sprouts" and he'll do it. He goes because I hate going by myself and he likes to go taste the samples in the back of Trader Joes.
We do it together! Yay!
My FI loves to help me plan the menu and then pick out the ingredients...even though he rarely cooks. We revolve around food here.
I make the grocery list, and ask him for anything he wants added, and then we just order online from Safeway and have it delivered. It's great, cause otherwise he's like a little kid when we go to the store together, asking for brownies or whatever junk food!
He does , sunday morning before I wake up. He's a early bird I'm a night owl. He's such a sweetie!!! We use to go to the store together but I'm like CaliValley82's SO , I'll toss all sorts of junk in the cart.
This will definitely be my job. I really like grocery shopping, so I don't mind. But mostly, I am very picky about what I buy, so I want to do it myself. If he was in charge of the shopping, it'd be day after day of frozen pizza, fatty burgers, canned chili, and brownies. Yikes! That just won't work for my diet/lifestyle... so instead, I'll do the shopping to make sure we're stocked on all the low-cal/low-fat/high fiber staples.
We always do it together... otherwise I get analysis paralysis. Plus he has a big appetite and I don't, so he wants to make sure he gets full input on what we get.
Occasionally one or the other of us will go alone, but most of the time we do it together. (Which is great because left to my own devices I buy way more than we need... 
)
we have a stick shift car and I don't drive manual in the city = he buys groceries :)
He normally does it but i prefer going together as we dont get to spent that much time together during the week its just that lil extra something to do together.. i mean hey its not the movies or a nice dinner out but hey i'll take whatever time i get with him!
I'm the one who decides what I'll cook during the week, and I make up a list, and we go together. I can't shop without a list, I find it too difficult. Occasionally if he is away or busy I will go by myself and I don't mind it at all, but he thinks it's only fair to do it together since it's food for both of us. Last weekend I was away and he did it without me, using my list. He was so proud of himself for getting *everything* that was on the list, and said it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be! He certainly did better than my cousin's boyfriend who popped out to get "a few things" for dinner and rang 5 times to double-check what they needed!

He does it 98% of the time :) but I usually always put it all away. I hate grocery shopping & cooking. It's def. not me. He loves food & having a good meal, so he goes and after 1 1/2 years living together in our home he's getting pretty good at it :)
living in Chicago (or other big cities) makes things hard sometimes. I have a car but not a parking spot so I hate to move my car after 5:00. Lugging it on the bus is not fun either! We usually will go together on the weekend or he will stop on his way home (and then parks in his spot). I try to motivate myself to go on my own during the week, but usually I am just too tired!
we always go together... usually saturday evenings before (if) we go out. yes we are pretty exciting.

I was just thinking about how much I hate grocery shopping (I have to go after work), and complaining (to myself) how I'm the only one who goes. My husband has no interest in cooking or grocery shopping, but loves to eat. I love to cook, but dread the grocery store. How do you ladies handle the every-week task of the grocery list and shopping for it? Just interested.
