Sainsbury's def sells them, our local Tesco SUCKS so I'm not surprised I haven't seen them there. Here's a tip.make friends with an American over here on a military posting, they have shops on the base that sell everything American right down to the Wonderbread! My friend Sue keeps me stocked up with KD, premium plus crackers, corn chips, Reeces PB cups, pumpkin, and REAL peanut butter.woo hoo!

we buy them every week from john lewis or tesco. One wee it's us, one week it's a team mate. So we sit on the bench during the game eating our oreos.

I'm going to buy kraft dinner next time I go to Lewis. 10x the price, but hey.

If you have a Farm Foods near to you I would suggest to try there because, here in Manchester, you can get 2 boxes of Oreo cookies with 8 packs of 2 cookies in each box (16 cookies per box)for Just a pound!

I was in the states at Christmas and forced my sis to buy me KD as I was craving it and hadn't had it in a year.

Sad to say.it tasted like merde! Guess I lost the taste for it.

To the person who asked about care packages from home: don't have them send you Smarties if you're going that route. The smarties in England are the same as back home.

Also, about not having canned pumpkin - they never make pumpkin pie, so it never comes up. Their experience with pumpkin pie is some nasty American gellid neon-orange concoction. I made a real pumpkin pie with a crust made from scratch (with butter, not lard), and won over at least one household to the pumpkin pie fan club.

I found Canadashop expensive, but it's not like I did my grocery shopping there. I treated it more like a special treat for myself, and let me tell you - getting that box in the mail was better than Christmas. Coffee crisp! Dill pickle chips! Mmmm. Of course, I'm back home now and missing Branston pickle, but what can you do? Oh, and when my dad came over for a visit, I had him bring Bick's dill pickles. Gherkins are simply not the same thing and don't cut it for my ideal sandwich.
