I get tea (Tetley) and Marmite at my local No frills supermarket:confused:


Seing as you are asking the same thing in numerous regional forums, maybe it would help if you narrowed it down to one part of the world. Otherwise is just looks like spam;)

You can also find a reasonable selection of British products at Bulk Barn. I believe that there are franchises from coast to coast.

I dont really crave much to be honest. A lot of stuff is available away from websites and britstores anyway.

So where is he then? All these posts spread around the forums look like a set up for some advertising to me.

Shipping costs and food import regulations tend to dampen any enthusiasm.

Why would you when lots of products are quite readily available.
The cost of shipping alone would be a major hurdle.
Trolls might find it useful though !

Embrace the fact you don't live in the UK and buy what's available in your local grocery store.

His friend's in India, the OP is in the UK. Quite why his 'friend' can't ask the question himself is another matter entirely.............
