Re: Price of food in Brit Stores
Now if I need a quick coffee fix, I get those instant Starbucks "Via Ready Brew" at Costco. About $16 for 24 of them. They are VERY good !

I hated the Starbucks ready brew I was really hoping I like it.
I stick to plain old Folgers instant in the red container, I just make it a bit stronger.

Talking of instant....I have a huge stash of Nescafe samples, the poncey ones, some chap was giving out samples out by the TD Garden in beantown but was getting late and couldn't be bothered any more, so I got a lot more than expected.
First time in years I had instant...it weren't that bad either.

Had some lovely instant coffees in Australia. Dozens of instant coffee choices there.

We went to Seabrooks and it was - this is a potato this is it chopped, fryed, flavoured, now help yourselves. the kids could take as many as they could carry and we were given a box for the staff...still like walkers though!

My girlfriend's an American and just can't understand my liking for Instant Coffee wondering why I just don't make the "proper" stuff. Fortunately we live in a very large Polish community and they, like me, seem to think that Instant is the only coffee

When my 4 SIL visiting last Oct., the first day they went to the grocery store and bought a jar of Nescafe instant even though I offered to make them some fresh brewed (and grind the beans).

Re: Price of food in Brit Stores
I will usually make a small cup of instant (nescafe) while I am waiting on my machine to 'perc', it's the only time I drink it
