Sounds like you have the storage space so a big order might be worthwhile.
Williams also produce British style bacon, ham and pork (for roasts).
I'm supposed to have a coworker pick me up some Williams meat products when she's in Lumberton soon.

When my stuff was shipped (the US air force shipped it) I had so much food in it I am surprised it didn't sink. I would have got one to bring if I had known how hard it would be. I say go for it and get one Heather best bet.
BTW, FYI BX catalog is the base military shop catalog. (my husband is US air force)

I guess I'll have to wait until our local British shop has its delivery and try to stock up.
I miss British breakfast soooooooo much.

I wish I could afford these prices. They are crazy with the shipping you end up with amazing price.

If you have (British?) friends who'd like to place an order, maybe at least a couple of you can combine your order and split the shipping.

My initial worry was that it would not have been a personal posession that I have owned and used for at least a year (which I believe is the customs requirement). However, worry not, for I have found that ACE Hardware stock outdoor clothes dryer - for about $50.
Now back to checking out Tucson dept stores for UK foods.
Thanks for the help Suzique.

I heard in the last couple of days that Weetabix is coming to America! It is being distributed by a company in Virginia!
I haven't seen it on the supermarket shelves yet though!

The packaging was identical to Weetabix in England.

I posted earlier in this thread that it is fairly widely available in this neck of the woods (Dallas & San Antone, TX). Identical packaging to the UK, too, as far as I can remember. Same taste and mushiness after being in milk for a few minutes too.... mmmmmmp22

It is distributed by a company in Texas (not virginia as previously stated) so that would fit in with it being available down there.
Anyway, whatever the case, I am going back to England in two weeks until the start of May so I will be pigging out on most British foods.
