The cadbury at world market is from the UK.. it sucks compared to ours (in my opinion). You can get Tim Tams at Target now but they're "Pepperidge Farm" instead of Arnotts. You can get Cadbury (some kinds) at Walmart but again, just not as good as ours!

i thought it tasted the same as aussie... but u dont get many flavours to chose from... isnt cadbury suppose to taste the same everywhere? same company? ill have to look in target next time im there! i get arnotts from world market.. pretty much the same as tim tams...

you're not an Aussie native are you... Arnotts is a brand. Tim Tams are the biscuit that Arnotts make. Tim Tams are available in Target under the brand Pepperidge Farm. http://www.ilovetimtamcookies.com/

Cadbury doesn't taste the same everywhere. It's made in different factories to a slightly different recipe. Here's a comparison between the UK and USA: http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/uk_vs_us_cadbury_dairy_milk/ The UK version is AWFUL in my opinion... at the very least freddo frogs in the UK are just gross.. blegh :S Strawberry filled Freddo's from Aus are probably my all time fave. num num num

Last time I was in Aus I had my doc write me a prescription for BC for a year and it got through no problem. I also had Panadeine Forte (codeine) and Nurofen Plus (codeine) also an anti inflammatory. I just made sure I had a letter from my doc stating why I had all of the different medications. They didn't even look at them twice or even ask for the letter...

My Mum and Brother are coming next week and they are bringing a whole suitcase of goodies just for me! Can't wait :pop: I'm hoping she can get some cordial in there really been wanting some recently!I really wanted her to bring me some more Nurofen Plus for my back since I have run out of everything but I don't want to get her in any sort of trouble and reading what has been said in this thread I am a little worried..

The Cadbury here is gross! I think the Hershey company makes it (could be wrong) and Hershey is the worst Chocolate I've ever eaten. I have bought the Tim Tams from Target and they tasted fine as far as I knew though they only sold them around Christmas time... Has that changed? I also saw Vegemite at my local Wegmans it was some insane price like $6 for the smallest jar you can get but it was there!!

Your mum can try the codeine just make sure she declares it. What a pain huh! (no pun intended :P)

Cadbury here IS gross and yes it's made by Hershey's.. which I think is made of bark and faeces :S I'm not sure about the Tim Tams. I should drive there tomorrow and get some just to check.. you know.. for you :P Vegemite is really expensive in Aus as well! I nearly died when mum told me!

I've added up the cost of mum buying and shipping me stuff and this site: http://aussiecatalog.com/ is cheaper. Some nice stuff too!

Oh yeah it is too expensive to have a lot of stuff shipped over. The prices for shipping are ridiculous! And from what everyone is telling me at home prices are going up on a lot of things. But since she is bringing it in her suitcase it's not too bad. It doesn't help that what I miss most right now is Cordial!! I wouldn't even want to look into what it would cost to ship a bottle of it lol I just hope she got some for me ;) I think I will be heartbroken if she didn't. :lol: She gets in around this time tomorrow.

I'll have to take a ride to Target myself... Even if my mum did bring some Tim Tams they won't last long cause someone breaks in and devours them at 2am. :whistle:

Does that website sell sausages? or does anyone know where to get some? Not sausage rolls just regular snags would kill for some of those!!

Here are a few sites I've collected:

- http://aussiecatalog.com/

- http://www.australianpieco.com/

- http://www.aussieproducts.com/

- http://www.everythingaustralian.com/

- http://australianbakerycafe.com/

- http://about-australia-shop.com/specials.php/page/4

- http://aussie-products.amazonwebstore.com/

- https://www.simplyoz.com/

And then World Market has SOME Aussie stuff but don't be fooled by the Cadbury. It's usually from the UK which is SO not the same as Aussie :S

Hope some of those make you happy :) I'll be using the first link soon :) I plan on getting cordial too :D

My Mum called from NYC last night I have red, green and apple and black currant cordial coming my way!! :dance: I really miss apple and black currant ANYTHING... She didn't bring any Nurofen :crying: I forgot to ask for Weetbix so maybe once I run out of this stuff she is bringing I will order from a website.

I found a store by me that sells Sausage Rolls they aren't great but are good when you REALLY want one. I think the issue is you can tell they use good ingredients in them it's not a little bit of this and a little bit of whatever that is haha. The best sausage rolls are always the ones that look as though they were dropped on the floor a couple times before being wrapped in the pastry :rofl:

IDK what World Market is I am assuming it is something like Wegmans or Tops. I don't think they have any around Buffalo, NY. It's too bad we don't live close together we could order a bunch from somewhere and split the shipping lol I'm sure it would save some $$$.

But they TOOK my Apple and Black Currant Cordial and it's now sitting somewhere at the bottom of a rubbish bin!!!!! Most importantly where I can't DRINK it! :ranting: I'm so upset. Good thing I can munch on my Pizza Shapes while I'm sitting here at work or I think I would burst into tears. :lol:
