Default Chocolate etc.

For those of you who are missing your English choccies visit Sears in the South Centre, Calgary. They have a section there with lots of Cadbury's and other Brit products. I spotted my daughters favourite Revels and headed straight over only to put them down again when I spotted the price. Not that I am mean but at the rate she eats them they dont last five minutes. I might just go and get her some for her birthday later in the year if they are still there.

I'm curious - why does Brit choc end up in Bulk Barn? Surely if Bulk Barn sells them, then they must be available in retail packaging elsewhere? They wouldn't just ship stuff over to sell at Bulk Barn would they?

The Bargain Shop in Regina gets a lot of British products from chocolate to shampoo. They must get a job lot from somewhere as they are not consistant and sometimes the sell buy/use buy date is near.

Someone asked on another thread about Tunnock teacakes well they sell them there mmmm and not too expensive.

The bulk barn (in Belleville) had the Tunnocks Caramel bars, but not the tea cakes unfortunately


TBH I have no idea how widespread this Bulk Barn availability is...it was nice to have a chocolate cream though, although the kids were less impressed with the sherbet fountains.

I think sherbet fountains are something you have to have grown up with to appreciate....

The Cream, Peperrmint Cream and the orange cream...I bought all three not too long before coming here in 2004.

Everyone deserves a little piece.....as the ad used to say.

I used to like the frys chocolate creme that was a variety of flavours, lime orange strawberry ( and i think there was another flavour) but they didn't seem to last long in the shops.

You've got me thinking now....was it the variety I was thinking of and not orange?
