Max is coming to spend the night

our nine-year-old grandson is spending the night tonight
I texted his mother to find out what three snacks he would like.
I have never bought any of these three items.
We will need to go to a better grocery store to get them.
Better than we usually shop, for sure.
We do not mind. He has not spent the night for a long time.
Maybe a couple of years; I hope he sleeps better now.
Maybe if we fill him up with snacks, he will.
