Dunkin Donuts Coffee (my husband can't live without it and in the last 3 years, we haven't run out once!!!)
Crystal Light Iced Tea Mix
Fruit Juice Snacks for my son (they have Cars or Spongebob on them and they are an awesome bribe)

TastyKakes.  More specifically, peanut butter kandy kakes. 

My aunt makes them from scratch in a jellypan and they taste just like tastykake. I'll try to wiggle the recipe out of her on Thanksgiving.

It's basically a cookie sheet with higher sides, but not as high as a cake pan. I think it's also called a jelly roll?

I haven't been back in ages, but I plan to bring back kids' clothes and shoes and games/electronic stuff.

It's interesting reading others' lists - some of this stuff didn't even exist when I left, or I never noticed it, which is equally likely.

I don't know exactly what's in it, but it's a really nice seasoning... a mix of salt, onion powder, garlic powder, some herbs.

I bring back OTC medications from Canada, particularly pain killers and muscle relaxants. Though I rarely use them, I find them more effective than paracetamol.

I am also a triscuit and graham cracker kinda gal.
