I know it's not Mintrels but Dove chocolate is Galaxy.

Hi Scouserwife, I used to live in Greensboro but have since moved back home..hmm the US mincemeat is very different to the UK version but you should find some Robinsons mincemeat in World Market, they should also have the Mr Kiplings ones as well..as well as loads of chocolate and goodies...just don't forget to bring your credit card along..

but if you get seriously stuck like I did one year, make your own mincemeat from scratch!, its really simple and it tastes so much better than the store bought stuff..the deliah smith's recipe is to die for..

if you need any help finding stuff and want to know anything about Greensboro, just give us a shout and hopefully I could point you in the right direction.

good luck

Thanks Lisa. I'm going to look up the recipe for the filling you suggested. I'm taking the credit card to World Market tomorrow for stocking stuffers. A big bottle of HP will be enough to put a smile on his face for sure! Found Jaffa Cakes at Aldi today, that was a pleasant surprise in itself!

Jack Pot at World Market! I scored Mr. Kipling's Mince Meat pies and Christmas Cake. Robertsons Mince Meat filling, Bisto, Curry Sauces, Cadbury's, Christmas Pudding, Apple Cider (the hard stuff), Terry's oranges and more! Thanks ya'll :thumbsup:

Re: North Carolina
 

We don't have World Markets around here...in fact I don't think they have stores in NJ. :frown:

Re: North Carolina
 

all the things you have to have for christmas:thumbsup:

Re: North Carolina
 

I did join the rewards program, I thought I may have to offer them my first born child, but it was worth it to see my smiling Scouser! He's been having a real hard time this Christmas (just lost his mum suddenly) so I pulled into the parking lot told him to have a look in this place and get anything he wanted as part of his Christmas gift. He was like a little kid. Thanks again!

Re: North Carolina
 

That's awesome :)

Happy myself today as UPS just delivered my case of Cadbury's Crunchie, that I purchased on Amazon with free shipping.:thumbsup:

Re: North Carolina
 

I have found Roses lemon shred marmalade in Lowes food in NC.... its called Key lime on the label but exactly the same...mince pies at World market....
Lowes and BI LO also have a little Brit section now in the bigger stores as do the new Piggly Wiggly's ..... PG tips and some other random stuff... Also try Big Lots in the international section, I have found some German Blackcurrant jam thats cheaper than World Market and tastes great, just like UK ones...good luck!
