Let's hope she leaves enough room in her suitcase!

You can buy that at Bulk Barn (apart from Quebec)

I'd have to go to the island or Okanagan for a Bulk Barn apparently. We have 2 British stores here but the prices are stupid. It's depressing when they still have the English prices on them.

Or when the box says 100% extra free! but they still charge as if it's a box of 80 tea bags not 40

I'd like proper cream, but I guess that wouldn't be allowed so I asked for spray deodorant

--Yorkshire Gold teabags (and particularly the decaf ones, a handful of places sell Yorkshire Gold, but I have yet to find decaf)
--Double Decker bars
--Robinsons Squash
--Lynx Dry in the spray cans (my husband can't find it here, only the normal Lynx... though he does have Lynx Dry in a stick and he finds it just as good, just depends if you like the spray better than the stick)
--Smoked mackarel (fine to import, freeze it first then wrap it in clothes and declare you have it)
--The "natural" Sainsburys grocery bags. http://www.dhtcollections.com/item/B...0_34970_1.html I have yet to find grocery bags like this that are as good... I imported about 30 and split it amongst my family... we all get asked so often whenever we are in grocery stores where we found our bags!!! It's too funny. But seriously, fantastic bags.

Ah the fun import business.

Aw, you're pretty well implying that my husband is because he prefers it! Boo. Not nice.

Which is surprising as I grew up in Essex!

I suddenly have a craving for rice pudding. Do they do it here? or is it some sh*t Canadian version which is infused with Maple/Cinnamon?

You can get Ambrosia rice pudding (and custard) here.
