We have similar tastes in our food choices I love almost all of your cereal choices!!  ;)  ;D

I forgot something else I have yet to see any Miracle Whip the regular or the light kind which I prefer anywhere in our surrounding area that's is truly sad to me  :(  that is 1 of the main things I always make sure we bring back with us from our trips home!!   ;D  I'm sure I will think of several other items that come to me later on lol!!  ;)  :)

They have Miracle Whip at Fenwick's in Newcastle - not sure if there is a store close to you. But if you run out and are feeling desperate, I could pick some up for you sometime and send it your way.  :)

Triscuits!  Triscuits!  Triscuits!  Triscuits!

And graham crackers.  :)

Yep! And I second the Pepperidge Farm stuff - Goldfish, and the cookies - Milanos, and all the others. Girl Scout cookies would be most excellent!  :)

Jewlz the Tesco in our area carries Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies at least they used to I haven't looked recently I try an avoid the cookie isle as much as I can lol. if they have still have them I can send you some if your Tesco's doesn't carry them.  ;D  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] I have to agree on the Girls Scout cookies they would be bad for my diet but I could always save them for cheat day & have Dh hide them the rest of the week lol.  ;)  ;D

They only had the regular Miracle Whip last time I checked. Don't worry about the cookies, I will have a look around next time we are at Tesco. If I don't see any, it's no big deal since we are going to America pretty soon anyway.  :)

I echo the mac n cheese in a box. I would prefer Annie's but, Kraft would be fine.

Vitamuffin mix. It's sold online in the U.S. and endorsed by Oprah and the whole health nut gang. THIS I would definitely pay to ship.

Crystal light.

DW found some "Italian crackers" in Morrison's which she says are very similar to saltines. Only about 99p for a big box as well.

They are!! I just finished my box!

Campbells nacho cheese soup. People are always looking for black beans too. Hot fries. I would TOTALLY splurge on Andy Capp hot fries. Combos too.

Thanks for the link.  Have you ever seen anyone here selling wide noodles?  I found a place called Kosher Cuisine that has Manischewitz medium noodles and other kosher food but they require a £30 minimum order!!

http://www.kcuisine.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=293

I've been able to get Crystal Lite on eBay but expensive shipping from the US.

Low carb megastore has some crystal light but it's expensive at £5 a box :(

Just checked it out.  It's a 14 pack box (each pack makes 500ml...I'll never get used to the metric system!!) for £5.99.  Minimum shipping cost is £2.45 by Royal Mail first.  I'll compare to ebay costs.  Thanks for the tip.

I found an ebay seller selling 1 box (10 packets) for $4.47 and shipping $5.57 (said there was some discount if you buy 16 boxes but didn't say how much).  This is probably a bit less than low carb megastore but probably not a lot unless you get 16 boxes and can get a lower shipping cost.

Here's the link

BTW, this is for lemonade flavour
