Need advice, I lied to Hubby!
 

Hey everyone, I just need advice for a lie I told Hubby.

I've been buying some low carb bread from our local low carb Market that is absolutely delicious. It's not spongy like other low carb breads. When you toast it, it has a crunch to it like Iron kids bread or Wonder bread, and it is white in color with only 2 total carbs per slice, 1 carb minus the fiber. Well yesterday Hubby told me to keep buying this bread because he really liked it. (He sticks with the basics, he usually doesn't eat low carb tortillas etc., He sticks with meat & vegetables). Well he asked how much the bread sold for and I pulled out the receipt and it was $7.00! Yikes! As I was looking at the receipt I was in shock and I told him it was $5.00 and I quickly crumpled up the receipt and threw it in the trash. I never paid attention to the price when I bought it because one of the customers at the market told me it was the best bread she had ever tasted, so of course I had to try it out. Now my question is do I:
A) Keep buying the bread and tell him it's only $5.00.
B) Tell him the manufacturer went out of business so they don't sell it anymore.
C) Put iron kids bread in the low carb wrapper so he will stall as I continue to lose weight.
D) Tell him that due to inflation they had to raise the price of the bread to $7.00.
E) Be honest.

Thanks for your Help!

ROTFL!!!

Be honest! What's the worst that can happen?

Simple answer is - Always Be Honest.

BE HONEST. You don't want him thinking, if she lied about this what else would she lie about.

IMO anyways, I think you should always be honest, to everyone, but especially to your life long partner.

Thanks for your advice. Now, does the answer change if I tell you that he's thin and arrogant? Only kidding. LOL

:lol: Nope!

Good luck hon!

be honest and please tell us the brand name of the bread!! :)

Is it okay to post the name of the bread? Moderators, if not just pull this post. I know that it is the markets decision to tack on more money because they have to make a profit. The bread is from a Bakery in Dallas. "The Francis Simun Bakery" is on the package but I buy it at a low carb market locally, here in Texas. The ingredients are Organic wheat gluten, filtered water, garbanzo flour, black bean flour, canola oil, golden flax seed, wheat germ, molasses, onion, sea salt. No preservatives so you must freeze it. I thought I might find gold as an ingredient since it is so expensive, but never found it listed. If anyone knows where I can buy this bread cheaper, let me know. In the meantime I've been surfing the net to find it a little cheaper.

Personally IMHO I wouldn't tell him you lied. Just next time you buy it say, "I thought it was only $5 but its $7, are you sure you want me to keep buying it?"

Gotta admit though $7 is a lot for a loaf of bread though. I'd still buy it if it was only me eating it and I kept it in the freezer and only ate it once in awhile. That's what I already do with the Food for Life low carb bread and the ATkins bread. They are both really good but I like the Food for life one better.

Exactly. Honesty works best. :D

One carb per slice bread is worth lying about in my opinion. LOL, that's why I'm single now!

What kind of bread is that? I bought some bread that was nearly 8.00 a loaf, was supposed to be really great. I didn't think it was worth it by a mile.

LOL, Vanity3 that's funny. :)

honesty is always best - it would be much worse if he found out later you lied.

Be Honest!!!

Personally, if I wanted to lie about the price of the bread, 5 dollar a loaf is still pretty high. I would have told him it was 3 something or other :D .

But after years of living with me, he knows to take any number I give him with a grain of salt! IF he accepted the 5 dollar price, I don't see why two dollars more will bother him.

Now going as far is putting the bread in a different bag, ok, that may be pushing the limit of a white lie a bit to much. :D

MaryTou, yeah but hubby nags me about my weight so if I put the high carb bread in the bag, (and I don't eat it) he will stall out with his rapid weight loss and possibly gain weight, therefore he will be the nagee and I will be the nagger about his weight. LOL

Candyless

Be honest. Everyone makes a mistake you just read the receipt wrong. :D
(fingers and legs are crossed right now :D :D :D )

seriously, is the loaf of low carb delicious bread worth losing his trust for you? hmmmmm :D

chele

Chele,
ABSOLUTELY! hee hee. Another thought crossed my mind too. I will just buy the bread for myself and hide it in the back of the freezer and keep it all to myself. :):)

I always get nervous when hubby starts to ask me about expenses--and we've been married darn year 20 years! LOL

I would tell him the real price of the bread--if he's like my hubby it would mean the difference of him eating it every day or just once every few days, and ultimately save yourselves a ton of money.

Note to self: Never again grumble about your very favorite LC bread being $4.00 a loaf!

Just tell him if he really loves the bread that much, he'll have to get a part time job. ;)

That is what I would tell him and leave it at that.

IMO you need to sit down with that man and make a budget. My DH never ask me how much is that or how much did you spend. He number one knows better and 2 doesn't care as long as I'm happy.

Do you really have to...
 

Wow, I must be the lucky one here... DH gets his sallary directly to the bank account and then it's up to me, and only me to decide where does the money go, I give him pocket money for his monthly needs besides providing anything he needs (pc magazines, tobaco, wine, etc). He does the shopping with me, because he loves it, but I keep the budget at home. Ok, DH says he's really bad when it comes about money so better leave that stuff to me. Isn't he the best? :)

Of course having that absolute trust and devotion I wouldn't dare to do funny stuff with the money.

Anyway, back to the subject. My grandma always told me: las mentiras tienen patas cortas, meaning lies are shortlegged... can run but not fast enough and always get caught.

You better tell him the real price girl, he might catch this tiny, absurd lie and begin to lose his trust on you, and that's something that should never get lost in a relationship. Losing his trust in future for a loaf of bread? as good as it can be?

Hi ... I wanted to tell you my lying story...

My roommate is a teacher here in Toronto and the board is a mess... anyway, she is stressed to the MAX!

I changed the coffee in the coffe maker to a half-caf, and I saw a huge improvement in her stress and anxiety levels. I did fess up about two months after, and she really didn't care...

Maybe you too could fess up, and he won't care, especially if it tastes good...

M

How stupid I've been! Why didn't I think of this sooner? I know how to make him not be concerned about the price of the low carb bread. I'll just tell him that I went grocery shopping this morning and I paid 10 bucks for a bag of pork rinds. He'll forget all about the bread thing. hee hee

Candyless

Why do that??? You will be covering up one lie with another.

If you were so worried about lying to him in the first place simply go to him with the receipt if you still have it and tell him you read the receipt wrong and the bread was 7 bucks instead of 5 and then ask him if you should continue to buy it.
Let him decide and it will be over with.

[QUOTE=jbird]Personally IMHO I wouldn't tell him you lied. Just next time you buy it say, "I thought it was only $5 but its $7, are you sure you want me to keep buying it?" [QUOTE]

Sounds good to me. Don't keep on lying about it, but this would tell him the truth about the real price & let him decide.

Young Lady!!!!
 

My advice is this. Tell him the truth. But here is how you do it.

Approach him with a hairbrush in your hand. Tell him you were afraid of his reaction to the price so you told him 5 instead of seven. Then hand him the hairbrush and turn and bend over so he can spank yer little behind...and then don't lie anymore. ;) :D

And this might turn him on and he'll forgive ya. :lol:
