Running errands after work

So after a long, long day at work I went to Ralph's to buy the essentials; bread, beans, tomatoes, toilet paper, and wine.  Not being Trader Joe's the cheapest they had was $5 for a little four pack of Sutter Home Merlot.  What made this whole little trip interesting was what the cashier said to me. " I love the little bottles, I can never finish a regular bottle.  And when you try to save it, it taste funny." 
I almost said "Well, that's never been a problem for me."  Instead I said, "And they're so cute, they look like something dolls would drink out of."  That got me a bit of a strange look.
