Default Might be the same at your Meijer.

Anyone close to a Meijer store check it out.

Just got back from my weekly grocery shop at Meijer and they had a whole bunch of English goods on clearance.

I bought:

Yorkie Bars (Biscuit & Raisin)
Topic Bars
Kit Kat
Colmans Beef Boulanger
Lucozade
Marsala Sauce.

They also had:
Milky Bar
Galaxy Chocolate
Galaxy Caramel
Robinsons Lemon & Barley
Bisto Curry Granuals
McVities Fruit Short Bread Biscuit
Colmans Sausage Cassrole Mix
Custard Creams
Those Biscuits with the marshmellow and coconut on top.
Pataks Relish

I am sure I am missing some.

our local meijer re-jigs the british product range every 6 months - and all items they deem slow sellers are removed and sold off cheap. branston pickle went last autumn and lloyd grossman curry sauce recently went. Each store has its own choice of range though - so i bought 6 jars of branston at another meijers instead when i couldnt find it anymore at my local! wish they would get rid of the crappy sweets and cereals brands that as a brit I have NEVER heard off and get the good stuff back!

I was a little late getting there and most items were gone [if there were many there]
I managed to get 3 cans of Heinz spaghetti for $0.72 a can because it expires in May. I don't care because they'll be gone in a week.

One of my earliest memories being a kid is eating spagetti hoops out of a bowl.

DH thinks Bush's is too sweet, so we buy regular pork and beans without all of the added sugar. He thinks (as do I) they're closer in taste to Heinz.
