Oh, Ebonyswanne,
I am here all Tim Tam Less in Toronto, Canada...
My hubby, aka Flash, always teases me when we go shopping because he'll yell out "Look, baby, Tim Tams" just to see me get all excited and then pout when I realize he's being mean.
So imagine, then, 4 years ago when I wandered into Shoppers Drug Mart (Amcal pharmacy equivalent) and ... hubby ran up to me with a handful of bickie packages and was saying "Baby, Tim Tams!"
I guffed and poked my tongue out at him for lying to me - but - but - he wasn't lying!! Canada decided to sell Tim Tams (called Arnotts over here) ...
I kid you not, he spent $60 that night on several packs.
About three months later, they stopped selling them.
Gosh, I was devastated.
And now, I can't even buy Vegemite!
The only "Aussie" beer is Fosters ... and for crying out loud. Not even Australians drink Fosters! Why the heck do they think we sold it to them in the first place? Cos we don't like the watered down cats piss!
Of course it's still better than American beer ... and <whispers really quiet> better than Canadian ....
But
My kingdom for a VB stubby!
So anyhoo ... to continue the "I can't buy Aussie shit" grizzle. I check out the homesick Aussie page where they will actually send me all the aussie stuff ...
Burger Rings
BBQ shapes
Cheezels
Heck, even a Woman's Day!
Not bad prices. Not bad at all.
Aha! Then shipping. Shipping is between 100 - 150% of the actual purchase price.
And ya know. I do love my snacks, and miss them muchly.
But I will NOT pay $100 for:
2 packs of Tim Tams
1 small Jar of vegemite
1 box of BBQ Shapes
1 Woman's Day
2 bags of Chicken Twisties
2 picnic bars
1 pack of Pavlova Magic
3 Caramello Koalas
1 box of Cheezels
Nope!
Not happening...
Altho ... I am pretty desperate ...
SJ
