Are you kidding me... GALAXY?! I am so there.

The Buy Low near me sells quite a few of those items in their own British section, but it always puzzled me as to why there'd be a British section at all?

Did you stop and write all those down? The only things i woukd buy from that list are Cadbury's Buttons and Heinz beans. The British shop i go to for beans sells them more cheaply than Walmart do and the local supermarket has Buttons.

I actually find quite a few English things in supermarkets here.. hobnobs, salad cream, digestives, custard creams etc. One thing I do get from the British store is pickle.
