Buy British

I've been fairly busy this weekend - helping with wedding planning, getting my car checked out and fixed, etc! Today, when my boyfriend and I were waiting for our cars to be done, walked around the little shopping center and found a store called "British Foods" And I realized that it was an English import food store! Of course, I had to go in!! And I found lots of fun things. A lot wasn't organic and etc, but I have a blast finding new things!


Rishi Tea, which I've heard good things about. Fairly high quality tea too, it seems - it cost about $20 for one of the cans of tea. I put it down immediately because I can't afford such extravagant teas!!



I loved the way these sacks looked with their little owl eyes! So cute!


This was the only thing the boy and I bought - a bottle of Schweppes Bitter Lemon soda. The cashier lady (who had the cutest accent) told us it was the "most refreshing drink." We put it in the fridge and took a few sips once it was chilled - and interestingly enough, it tastes just like the Dole Lime fruit bars that unfortunately got discontinued! :( - only in all liquid form!

Here are a few more interesting things in the store I took photos of:





I have more I'm going to post hopefully tomorrow! :D

I love browsing through foods from other countries. Whenever I travel, I like going to the grocery stores. It makes me feel like a local, but also lets me see what their food is like. This isn't really long-distance travel, but when I went to Vancouver with Matt's family, his sisters and I bought a huge stash of candy that was different from those we have in the U.S. It was fun trying them all and comparing them to things that we're used to.
