Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures!

Yes, Easter with Elmer’s Chocolate Eggs in Louisiana and not in Missouri . . desperate times for this girl! Don’t ask me why I love these and I am NOT a chocolate fan. Every time I say that, Vince says “You eat chocolate all the time.” I do not. I like Almond Joy and Snickers Almond bars but maybe three or four times a year. Elmer’s Chocolate Eggs . . I could eat three or four of them a day for the rest of my life! There are several varieties. I only like the Goldbrick and the Heavenly Hash.

Chad, Nicole and Addie are going to Louisiana for a week so Sunday when Vince and Chad went fishing, Vince gave Chad $40 to buy eggs for me. Chad told me to get with Nicole and let her know which ones I wanted. I sent her this message.

She wrote back:

My response:

I am so blessed to have a daughter-in-law who is so sweet, easy to get along with and funny!

Last year, they brought back eggs for me but by the time I got them, there were three left because Nicole and Addie had eaten them all!

Then, after the FB conversation with Nicole, I decided to Google “Elmer’s Chocolate Eggs” just to see if maybe there were some available near here. No, there are not but I found packs of 24 available online at various places (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) for about $32 per package.

I would gladly pay that but then I noticed the same package at Sam’s Club for $16.87 with free shipping. ordered a box of each of these two.

I ended up sending Nicole a message and asking her not to buy them in Louisiana. I think the ones from Sam’s cost less and I surely don’t need to end up with too many of those things!
