Can you get 'Coffee-mate' in Perth?
Duh.
Sorry trivial question but my (soon to arrive) Mother-in-Law won't drink coffee without it. Have looked in Woolies but not found an equivalent.
If I can't find it can she bring it with her or will it qualify as dairy even though it's dried? Have a feeling it does as read something about babies' formula being a no-no.

LOL at your MIL! It really does fit into the "some people
" Bracket! I took (dried) formula milk to Australia with me a year ago (my son was Breastfed and when i took a night off he would only drink one particular type so i had to take it with me!) and it was fine, so I would say she's probably OK but am obviously no expert.Michelle

I know you can get coffee whitners, not sure how they taste compared to coffee mate though...

That stuff is absolutely loaded with fat ... Very bad for you.
Get some real cream in ... if you're going to have fat you may as well have the good stuff.

You can get real "Coffeemate" in most supermarkets - v expensive though! Plus those little portion packs of the flavoured liquid creams, yummy! You will find that both Woolies and Coles have their own brand of coffee whiteners too which are equally as good.
