Hi,

Just stumbled upon this site advertised in the paper if anyone is interested http://www.treatsfromhome.com.au/

I am going to go have a look during my lunch, and will let you know if it's any good

Believe it or not I have never been in there
The kids went in once with pocket money and came out and ask their Dad if they could go somewhere cheaper

Oh my God! TWIGLETS! Cravings are bad enough as they are but when you are craving stuff from the other side of the globe it's really frustrating! Looks like dinner's sorted!!

Well, I am back armed with Bisto instant Gravy (worth the trip alone), yorkshire pudding mix, twiglets, monster munch (no pickled onion unfortunately) and Polo mints. Could have bought a lot more but had to be picky because it's not cheap - $2ea for the polos, $3 for the tiniest packed on twiglets :scared: $7 for the Bisto. Will probably go back for Hellman's mayo (unless my Heinz salad cream can surfice until my cousin visits in November )

Hi Shellfish,

I also tried and tested the Melbourne store at lunchtime and while I am gutted there were no Pickled Onion Monster Munch or Super Noodles, and dismayed that the Twiglets cost $8.00 a packet I am very pleased with my Prawn CocKtail crisps, Wheat Crunchies and Spicy NikNaks. If you spend enough you even get a free bag...

Thanks for that link - went into the city yesterday to hunt it out! Very impressed! Managed to finally get my shreddies!!!
Very happy kiddies. By the way if you spend $50 you get the free bag!
