A Boston cream pie is NOT the same thing as a banana cream pie, and a bag of pretzels is not the same as a bag of sour cream and onion chips, you heathen! So, if you've only gone to one store and struck out, you'd be wise to go to another (and another, and another...).

Booze it up in front of her.
Pregnant women can't drink, but that doesn't guarantee they'll mind if you have a drink in front of them (you'll have to feel things out). However, if you drink like a college kid at a kegger, you'll likely earn a one-way ticket to the couch.
