No you're not! There's so much information here that it's nearly impossible to know what's already been posted.

Dang it!! The Velveeta is what I was looking for!  I noticed they don't carry Bush's Baked Beans...am really wondering where I can find some of those.  But the price for a 12 pack of Mountain Dew isn't too bad, considering how much it would probably cost for my parents to ship some for me.  I can't live without the stuff!  (so bad for me, I know!).  It seems like a great idea to just make a list and buy the £50 worth and get it all delivered free.

I think i bought the smallest box Velveeta makes and it worked out to about $5.00 where you can buy it in the USA for $.99 but it was worth it in the end cause I had a Mexican buffet for my DH birthday 2 years ago....and I make the velveeta/rotel cheese dip and everyone LOVED it!

Check out the website I found...it is expensive, but they have Aunt Jemima Pancake mix.

You'd be surprised what you learn to substitute and live without. It's gradual, but I don't really NEED a lot from the US anymore. I have adapted my cooking and baking mostly. Now, when I go home, that's another story, I will be pigging out and eating out as much as possible, until then, I'm happy with most food here.

Or you can have fun with making things from scratch in imitation of US-products that you love (except it doesn't really work for Velveeta, I'll give you that).

Yeah you can use the Bisquick that ASDA sells or if you are really lazy you can buy the packages of ready made pancakes (Kingsmill does the big ones) and squirt some toffee flavor ice cream syrup on them. LOL
