However QFC is also owned by the same company and they don't sell it. On the other hand, QFC do have a decent selection of British beer, so you should be alright one way or another.
Which means Foods CO Sacramento, and Ralphs is owned by Kroger.

This has to be one of the saddest threads ever. Everyone telling people that live 1000's of miles away that their local shop sell Robinson's Squash . FFS

I thought the crumpets thread was the saddest ever. Do we need a poll? What's sadder, crumpets or squash?

What part of "ONE of the saddest" didn't quite register with you?

All of it. I was too busy melting some lovely Cheshire cheese onto a couple of toasted crumpets.

The only decent thing to come out of Cheshire was the M6 Southbound.

I too am a fan of 'diluted' squash's and drinks which were my staple at home and was very surprised when I arrived in North Carolina to find that virtually no-one produces them here and if you can find someone that imports the UK varities they are very expensive. A local friend of mine had recommended that when I took up residence here that I should try and find US foods and drinks that I like and 'ween' myself off the UK and Northern Irish things I miss the most..... Or bankrupt myself trying to get them here...

I am not really a lover of carbonated drinks in general so on a $1.67 gamble tried the Wal Mart powdered Sugar Free Orange Early Rise Drink, they do a lot of other flavours too, and was pleasantly surprised... $1.67 buys you enough powder to make 12 quarts and although it's not to our usual high standards I drink it all the time.... I suspect that your worry about your husbands soda consumption is his potential waist expansion but the Wal Mart drink is sugar, sodium and calorie free....

Thought it might be worth a try as I'm sure you have a Wal Mart nearby....

As long as you don't mind drinking aspartame. I'll take real sugar over that anyday.

There is definately a Wally World near us He has tried that before and said it was okay; but, he would stick with orange juice. We are a fan of the crystal light lemonade and pink lemonade powders THANK YOU

Yes, worried about his waist line; but, more so from his kidney issues.

Safeway stores also carry alot of powders (singles and quarts) that are sugar free, etc. The latest I found was sugar free Crangrape.

Latest update: co-worker is checking with her store to see if she can order me a case. as always, i'll let ya'll know when i do
