Turns out that one of our little kitties needs special food, which I found a great deal on at Amazon. But they were taking so long to ship the stuff that I cancelled that order and paid more at Walmart’s site. Then I added a dozen packs of wasabi peanuts for myself to get the free shipping.

Today, FedEx delivered a box which Walmart labelled wasabi peanuts but actually contained 8 pounds of dog biscuits. You’d think somebody would have noticed that 4.4 ounces of wasabi peanuts × 12 != a 10 pound box.
