Teabags?

[esprit]

Janet is in Lake Mary which isnt a tourist area hence her local Publix and WalMart wont have the little "ethnic" section which actually contains Brit food that the stores in Kissimmee have. I have noticed that when nipping in for Brit supplies whilst on my cleaning route, ie the Publix and WalMart in Orlando and Apopka etc dont have it.
So Janet, a little trip down to Kissimmee is needed to stock up. WalMart on 192 and the new one at Cagans Crossing have Brit sections as do the two Publixes down at the western end of 192 near the junction with 27 and the one on 27 south. Not sure about the rest but someone who shops at the eastern end of 192 will know.
In the Brit section, you can find British teabags ( but at a price), Branston Pickle at $4 a jar when it has a 38 pence sticker on it ( I still buy it because I am sad and cant live without it!!), HP brown sauce, salad cream. custard powder, marmite, canned curry sauce, Robinsons squashes, disgestive biscuits, mushy peas, Ambrosia rice pud ( I buy that too at well over $2 per tin!), assorted choc bars like flake and crunchie and occasionally even my beloved mint sauce.

Thanks Julie i forgot to say where i was living doh!!!!

We will have to have a trip sdown i think although we are not missing anything yet as only been here 3 weeks, but im sure we will. Dont mind buying American equivalent if it tastes ok, but cant find any decent tea bags.

The Publix at Campbell City - just south of Kissimmee DownTown on the 17/92 also has the "ethnic" english section with tea bags and all manner of other goodies [msnsmile2]

Thanks everyone for your help.The only problem is is that Kissimmee is 1 hour away from us. We were hoping there might be something nearer to us/
Clive (my husband) as just gone off to Albertsons, as we have been told they have english goodies. He wants some Squash.
Will let you know the outcome

Baked beans $1.70 in Kissimmmee. Teabags, I get my owners to bring me so I dont know the price.

We always take our own tea bags with us, as they are quite expensive in Publix. Don't think I would object to paying the price for them if I had to on holiday but if I had to on a permenant basis because I lived there (I can dream) I think I would object. We have tried US tea on many occasions, many different brands but haven't yet found one like home.[msnsmile2]

We find that its also the taste of the water that makes tea in USA "taste funny". Try using filtered water out of the fridge if you have some & brew it for longer. Just cant do without at least 2 cups in the morning to get me going!!!
