Mine last ages. I only put a few little dabs on my toast. If I put the entire contents on four slices, the inside of my mouth would be raw!

My only problem with the jars is the shape; the last bits are difficult to get out

I switch to a teaspoon when it gets low.

Last trip I made this summer I brought back Robinsons squash, branston pickle, Bovril (squeezy cos it's lighter and every ounce counts!), M&S tubs of mini chocolate rolls, M&S jaffa cakes, Golden Syrup and Black Treacle for baking.

Agree with the other person who mentioned lingerie - did a quick pit stop in M&S got kitted out with loads and for a fraction of the price that I can find stuff here. Also Boots had an offer on selected shampoos, deodorants, shower gels etc for £1 a bottle. I think I bought about £15 worth, it was a great saving. Oh and facial wipes, just the Boots own brand which had a good 2 for 1 deal. Bargain. OH commented that his Gillette razor blades were cheaper in the UK too, so he got some of those.

Hi

I've only been in Victoria 4 months but my Mum is visiting and she bought over deodorant that works, chocolate, teabags, leggings (you can take the girl out of Essex....) toddler tights, tops, nickers, vests, jumpers and coat, malt loaf (my daughter loves it and its expensive here), nappy bags, YSL concealer, Lancome moisturizer and River Island jeans for the hubby.

cadburys twirl bites. there is no better chocolate. that and cadburys flakes.

I go back every year. I keep a list of stuff to buy when I'm there.

Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce.

Divine Fair Trade cocoa.

Nurofen plus

Loose tea.

Ginger wine, which I can't find in Edmonton. I prefer Crabbies to Stones.

Clothing. I buy almost all my clothing in the UK.

Ditto bedlinen and towels

Replacements for any breakages in my china.

Bath Olivers

I got back last night with the three things I always bring.

200 B&H
A cold
A nasty Visa bill

Those of you talking about food should be aware that you must declare everything, even Toblerone. The worst that can happen is that it is taken away. If you don't declare it and then get hauled over in Customs, you'll get fined. Agriculture Canada are hot on food items and they patrol Customs with sniffer dogs. I was sniffed last night.

Gotta ask. What's wrong with the stuff you can get in Walmart?

Now I can get extra strong cheese that tastes like extra strong cheese here, I think my list will just go to gravy granules, OXO cubes, bouquet garnis (not that I use that much anymore) and choccy's.

I've forgotten what else I miss

Chocolate naturally, Wilkins Tiptree Marmalade, Colemans sausage caserole mix, bra's, kids clothes, paperback books.

Oh! Just thought, car parts will be brought back at Christmastime (Already purchased and waiting for pick up, more will probably (hopefully) added to the list unless anyone knows of a Anglia front end for sale for a good price in Canada?

We have a British shop in Kelowna which sells a good range of food - Walkers crisps, chocolate, T bags, biscuits ets. We have a new shop - Bulk Barn, which sells British chocolate too and Roses marmalade, mushy peas, Branston Pickle, Bisto and Birds custard powder!! Not bad prices either. When we (4 of us) went back to UK last year we took 2 empty bags and came back with about 20kg excess baggage between us, and got away with paying for 6 and stuffing the rest in our hand luggage!!

wow i Cant believe you let him have a whole pack of razor blades
