Inessential shopping AIBU?

DS2 recently graduated as a doctor and has started work as an FiY1 about 3 hours from home ( his uni placed them at their last placement hospital), in a hospital where no shops are within walking distance.
He is working a rolling rota of 3 days of 12h plus shifts on, then 3 days off. ( He is on a covid ward and has seen many deaths if relevant)
His copy of the BMJ ( a general medical journal) comes to our house, so each week on the way home from my weekly shopping trip I call into the garage ( go past it) and buy a packet of percy pigs , then call into the post office and send him the journal and the pigs ( he is tired on day 1 of rest, bored on days 2 and 3)
As the weeks go on the person in the garage has got more and more grumpy with me, and this week was full on “ is this all you are buying”
Am IBU sending my poor boy a packet of sweets each week?

If they sell it, you can buy it Hmm

I’d buy a lot more than one next time though, save yourself a trip and the agro

Pecy Pigs are NOT inessentials. Girl, you have your prioities wrong. percy pigs are a respectable middle class woman's crack cocaine.

Being an FY1 must be so tough - I certainly couldn’t cope! A little bag of Percy pigs arriving each week must bring him a bit of a smile :) So no, Yanbu

There seem to be as many of these silly threads now as when this first started. It's boredom, I suppose.
