Was going to ration them to myself over the next few months, but am prepared to sell them to the highest bidder now.
Who'll start me at $50 for the lot ??
No time wasters please

Pay for a cheap return ticket for a family member and the condition of them coming is they have to bring at least one huge suitcase full of all your supplies - pickled beets and onions, huge catering size HP sauce, 100 packets of angel delight, 500 bars or chocolate 
I bet you would find it cheaper.
Or you could do what has already been suggested and change your taste buds a little and compromise with American alternatives

Re: The price of my groceries at the English shop!
I spent $40 on the gubbins for a full english breakfast at the weekend... first time the fiance has had it... she says she'll never eat fried bread again but the rest was bearable.
also spent a further $40 on biscuits, chocolates, branston, hp & egg cups.

I think at christmas we spent more than $10 on a tiny can of spotted dick and a small packet of custard in the Brit store as a gag gift to one of my brother in laws.
