Morrisons also does Reeses Nutrageous

BP garage does Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

my sister loves oreos. I tried Reese's peanut butter cups and I thought they were disgusting!!!

i know in Bluewater, there's a store called Sweets from Heaven that sells most american candy like oreos, 3 muskateers, etc. it sells some drinks like mountain dew, sells cereal like lucky and some other random things like marshmallow fluff.

Costco sell big boxes of the snack packets of oreos, theres about 40 in a box and it was around £6 with vat.

Selfridges in the Trafford Center always seems to have lots of American food. I've definately spotted all kinds of Oreos and also Sasparilla (sp?) in there. Not cheap though!

Oh No !!!!!

Bang goes my diet- I love Reeces peanut butter cups!

Costco has lots of American goodies!!! Oreos, corn dogs, ... and their birthday cakes are massive, yummy and cheap!

Also, here are a few websites for American groceries, but they're not cheap:

how do you join costco?

 

[emily1982]

I think you need to have a buisness and also pay a small fee, if you ask around im sure someone could take you who has a card.

Our local garden centre/farm shop has a small stock of American products. They are expensive though £6.75 for Fruit Loops or Lucky Charms. They also sell things like Macaroni & Cheese, tinned pumpkin, grape jelly, marshmallow fluff and pancake mix.
