Wegmans had the Licorice Allsorts for $3 and cans of Vimto/Irn-Bru and something else at a buck. Also a bunch of Brit jams and sources were reduced for Paddy's Day.

Yes, only when they are fresh - that's important isn't it? The two places I know locally to me in San Diego that sell Licorice Allsorts (Bevmo and The Sweet Factory) both sell them dry and nasty looking. A little while back I could get Bassetts Licorice Allsorts at every CVS - I was so pissed off when they dropped them.

Found some Heinz beans, tomato soup, Branston, Birds custard powder and some other goodies in Fresh n Easy, but sadly, no British sweets, only Hershey made Cadburys which we all know isn't really chocolate.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
Actually on the subject of Nestlé Aero, are these available in the US or not? I am absolutely certain when I was in Seattle I saw an ad on the local TV (KIRO I think) that advertised them but whenever I see them in the US they are always imported from Britain or Canada. The ad I saw was of some kids at a skateboarding rink and they definitely showed US packaging in it (i.e. it was in English).
Maybe it was a local marketing trial but only in Seattle.

Ocean State had those McVites fruit shortbread biscuits for $1.60 each and Jacobs crackers as well as a knock off version for $1 a packet, again.

Not unusual to find out of date products on the shelves here. I have taken stuff to customer services only to find it back on the shelf a while later.
