What's on your shopping list?

So far my list is:

Peeps
Crystal Light/Hawaiian Punch pouches to add to water
Fave flavored creamers
Tootsie Rolls
Kraft Caramels
Tell City pretzels (family owned pretzel company in Tell City, IN)
Ziploc bags
Deoderant (just not happy with any I've tried here)
Sunbird brand fried rice flavoring packets
Lots and lots of cinnamon gum, Altoids and other cinnamon goodies
Crest Pro Health toothpaste in cinnamon
Neosporin

I am sure I will think of lots more but those are the start of my list for June.

Seems like quite a few people don't like the deodorant here. What's up with that? I've not noticed a difference. 

Maybe we should move this to chit chat since it's more then just food talk?

Oh yeah!  I forgot - my very favourite deodorant that Secret Cucumber Aloe stuff - not available here. 

But I managed to find deodorants here that are okay & I can live with them, even if they're not my favourite.  Thing is, I did a stockup on deodorant when there was a good offer on at Superdrug & Wilkinsons, then a friend brought me some Secret Cucumber Aloe deodorant from the US - I have so much deodorant right now, I might not have to buy any for two years or more! 

I've used Dove deodorant for years--it's the only kind that doesn't make me break out.  Fortunately, it's available here; if it weren't, I'd have to get someone to send it.  There's nothing worse than itchy pits!  As far as food stuff, I usually ask people to bring Cheetos, Kraft mac and cheese, and ranch dressing.  Generally I don't miss American food, though I was craving a Carl's Jr six dollar burger the other day .

lipton ice tea bags, yellar grits, ranch powder mix, ibprophen, loreal hair color from sallys, planners from target, cornmeal, rubbermaid dishdrain and tray-red, molasses, neon colored notebook paper and folders, dog clothes, aquaphor, a couple more cast iron skillets, and so far thats my list...........we are putting our clothes in two backpack and filling up 3 suitcases with stuff.

Onion powder-I haven't found it here

I buy onion powder at Sainsburys. 

I'll be honest, I get so jealous when I read that people are going back for a visit.  It will be 6 years in June since we moved over and I've been back once.  By the time we pay for airfare (for 4 of us), the extended stay hotel, and the rental car the cost ends up being way too much for us. 
My list would be...
Oyster Crackers
Zesta Crackers
Tricuits
Neosporin
Oyster Crackers
Oyster Crackers
and even more Oyster Crackers

Lots and lots of cinnamon gum, Altoids and other cinnamon goodies

I found Altoids in Poundland of all places!

Same here, been over three years and we just can't afford it.  Maybe 2012.

I forgot all about oyster crackers.  Kinda dry, huh?  I remember eating them with horseradish at Fisher's Seafood restaurant in NE Philly when I was a kid.

I buy onion powder at Sainsburys. 

There isn't a Saisburys near me but the next time I come across one in my travels I'll check.  Thanks!

I'm surprised by onion powder because I've seen it here at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrison's.  I thought it was widely available everywhere.

We are near 2 regular sized Waitroses and 3 of those little Tescos.  Waitrose definitely does not carry it and the little Tescos only carry very basic stuff so it's not even worth looking.  I was in Waitrose today and scoured the spice shelf again and nothing.

Crazy!!  Well definitely stock up if you are visiting somewhere with big versions of the stores I mentioned. 

Since this is no longer just about food-  I also bring back

Giant bottles of contact lens solution -just because its so cheap there!
I also seemingly end up with something of the musical sort- new microphones or cables or music books or trombone mutes or guitar strings- also because they're so cheap!

(((hugs))) to anyone who can't make it back.  I feel fortunate that its just me and I travel a lot for work so yay for being able to pop in if I'm in the US or/yay for frequent flier miles- that I can make it back a fair bit.  Red5, if you want oyster crackers from the next time I visit, PM me your address. Not sure just when that I will be, but I will more than willing to get you some

Feminax Ultra is only legally licenced to be sold for period pain though, so if you need to use it for other types of pain you have to get it on prescription... so in that case, it could be better/easier to bring it back from the US .

Definite hugs to those who can't make it back often. We are fortunate to be able to stay at mom's house which saves quite a bit.

I intend to indulge (or overindulge) on Denny's and IHOP breakfasts while we are there. The breakfasts here are good, and I love, love, love the bacon.. but there is something about American fluffy pancakes. I also don't mind but don't overly enjoy beans and tomatoes with every breakfast. I refuse the black pudding though. I also miss biscuits and gravy.

I found Altoids in Poundland of all places!

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I love Altoids whether they are cinnamon or original peppermint, but hadn't found them anywhere yet.

I've also got Cheetos on my list after reading about them on here. I usually try to not think about them because they are a definite weakness of mine
