(although it looks to be closed at the moment)
Its where we got ours from this year. Bought the lapel pins and traditional style ones too. Bit steep on shipping, but I guess overall the money is going to a good cause

The local VFW has them here, call your local hall and see, mine were very helpful.

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
I've tried that in the past, none of them had any, though I donated to them, and had the British Legion in San Fran send me some in the past because the Boston consulate usually runs out.

Might be nice if we all put a poppy avatar in profile.

I haven't been to the BI store for a couple of years now, thought I was over it. I just looked at the web site....OMG...why did I do it. I want some Dolly Mixtures
I haven't seen any of those for years

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
I do it every time.....but this time I was a bit more careful on their prices - eg their curry sauce at 6.99 can be had in HEB for half that....Did get stuck on Hula Hoops though...and Christmas Crackers....couple of Christmas puds....black pudding.....bacon....it soon adds up!
