LOL. thats too funny. Maybe she is hungry and just doesn't feel like going grocery shopping so why not do it while your at your friends house.... lol. Anyways, I wonder what they think when they go look for a certain food they bought and they noticed it disappeared! Maybe they think their house is haunted or something...lol. well, Have you asked her why she does that? You should invite them over and while they are in a different room load up their cars with the food and don't say nothing to them it would be to funny!

I would tell you wife to quit doing that or you will call her out on it prior to leaving the friends house. Before you walk out you could say...I'm sorry my wife took some food from you - have her open her purse and take out the food. That will stop the invites and her stealing. Hopefully she would be too embarrassed and won't do it.
You could also go solo to your friends house - or don't let her near the kitchen.
Also, I would take her to a therapist to find out why she does this???

I would say she has a mental illness that makes her steal. Is just food from friends homes? There is a very good possibility it isn't the only thing she is stealing! I would get her some help after a long heart-to-heart talk.

Don't tell your friends. Just tell your wife to stop stealing. Why don't you tell her to ask your "great friends" where they bought their food or let you guys have some as samples? Why does she steal anyways? Is it because you don't have the money to feed her?

If you love your wife and care for having friends and doing the right thing, you need to have a serious discussion with her about this.

Oh boy! That's a hard one... I'm still trippin' off of her stealing the food... why? Do you all not have any food at home? You really need to talk with her. That's too much!

She needs help!
Tell her to stop before one of your friends
catch her and call the police!
Do you have groceries in your house?
Is she stealing because there is no food in
your house, or is she just doing it for kicks?
if so like I said get her into counseling!

I have stitches. You hurt me a little... it looks like she shopped at Costco, huh? LOL.
Yes, I think you should tell her that it is wrong that she does that.
BUT you also need to address WHY.... does she have Groceritis? Did she grow up hungry? Good luck, my friend.

1) treat your friends to dinner some other time.
2) order some groceries or a gift basket and have them delivered to your friends.

Yes, buy them new stuff to replace the food she took, then show up alone with it, apologize, & promise it won't happen again!
Then make sure it doesn't..... get her some help!
