The Problem With Snacks

Last January, I accidentally bought regular Coke. I have not had caffeine in over twenty years. Oh, I will occasionally have one out. But, I don't want or need them sitting around here. So, I will give them away to the guy next door or to someone in a grocery store parking lot.

Tommy and I have snacks we each like and prefer. Usually, we stick to our own snacks, no matter who buys them.

I like fruit and chocolate milk or chocolate anything. He prefers salty things, even Saltines to consume when he wants a snack.

For months, we have each eaten a different item when we both snack at the same time. But, the time has come when we eat the same thing.

I bought Hershey's Quik to put in milk for me. However, he goes in gets a glass each day now. He left it alone for a long time. I don't mind.

He eats saltines, saltines and peanut butter, or just peanut butter. Heats any cracker and anything salty. Last week, I found a good buy on Saltines. They are tiny, cute little Saltines, 1/4 the size of a regular saltine. NOW, I am eating more than he is. I only eat peanut butter once a day, if any. And, that is my pb, MW, banana sandwich.

I think if I had not bought PREMIUM brand saltines, I would not have eaten any saltines at all.
So, I will not buy them again, no matter how delicious they are.

About once every week or every two weeks, I will buy us a candy. I get Raisinettes for me and Milk Duds for him. Well, I quit that. This week, I bought Milk Duds and we shared them. Next time, I will buy Raisinettes and we will share those.

When I go to the kitchen and bring back cherries, I always offer him some. He willingly takes fruit, but until lately never seemed to get it for himself.  We have quit buying Halos since there are plenty,  different type oranges here. And, I cannot eat citrus in the spring. Besides, Halos are not good late.  At one time, I felt like I was forcing apples on him. Now, he gets one more often.

I never eat popcorn, but found myself eating a few kernels of his popcorn for the first time ever. I have vowed not to ever eat popcorn again!

Edit: dinner tonight--huge Romaine salad with chicken, pickled yellow squash, pickled cucumber on top. Cherries later.

In your house, do different people eat/prefer different types of snacks like sweet or salty?
