I buy family size pack of pain Killers [ you can get 2x tubs of 200 painkillers for around $6 , I buy tylanol for my next door neighbour , heat pads for her athritis , I buy Asthma inhalers [ for me] as they are cheaper then here . I allergy tabs for my son , and many other things [ If I got stopped at customs They would think I was some kind of Junkie

    Thanks for the replies on the Barnies Coffee, our villa is on the US27, i'm surprised I couldn't smell it from there[msnwink].

    Now i've read what everybody else brings back I think I will be looking out for some of these items myself and guess what - bringing them back home with me

    Also what is Orange cleaners and goop (I'm thinking the Americans have a special tool to clean all those oranges they grow)[msnembarrased]
