The Husband stopped for the items at Kroger’s at my request.  He was duly impressed when I told him that I’d gone to the Vitamin Cottage for the expressed purpose of picking up some chocolate milk for him but balked when I discovered that the price on their quarts was $2.09.  I knew that the Kroger price was less than $1.00 more for twice as much.  Who couldn’t love a man who will more than willingly do a grocery run on the way home — especially when it’s below freezing and threatening to snow?
