No never and I search and try everything....I have major amounts of the packets and make it as needed ;-)

I think that is the best way for now until I can get over it haha

Really? Good for you.
Sucks but seems here up North they dont stock as much variety and down south it took us a loooong time to find em.

I've seen them at Sainsbury's in Nantwich. It made me smile. Good to know they're at Morrison's, too. I live in the Northwest, in Crewe. Where do you live?

Try living in Lincoln! It's the true meaning of pants.  :( I am always a little jealous of some of the things people find in their local shops. Not that I am looking for anything in particular but it would be nice to know it's there if I want/need it.

I picked up some Newman's own Italian dressing today, at Morrison's.The ranch was right next to it. And on the same bit of the shelf was Jack Daniel's bbq sauce. I would've taken a photo, but I left my itouch/pod at home. :/

Wow!  I just looked up the recipe!  That's great!  How do they come out?  Are they "s'more worthy" would you say?????? 

Thanks for the tips!

I was in ASDA in Leicester (Fosse Park one) yesterday and saw that they brought back Kraft mac n cheese. I can't find it on the website, so I don't know if this is in all ASDA's or not. They told us in the summer last year that they discontinued it because they couldn't sell much of it, but apparently they're trying again!

oh man, that's good news! I live in Leicester and Kraft mac n cheese is one of those things I always stock up on when I go back to the states -- it's my comfort food :)

Has anyone found any good ranch dressing? I've only found the Newman's and I don't really like. I'm almost out of my last bottle of Hidden Valley!

I am also a Hidden Valley (light) ranch fan and it drives me crazy that ranch is not popular here! If you google "hidden valley ranch UK" there are some sites that import the original. It might be a bit pricier than you're used to, but hey, it's worth it right? ;)
