Shopping questions please
So we are last few days in villa then off to pop for last 2 nights so thoughts are turning to shopping for stuff to take home. Have done all clothes and Disney springs shopping so thinking about Walmart/ target/ publix now although I may need another suitcase as I have bought a Minnie Mouse pet bed for one of my cats!
So first question is I see people say they bring Tupperware back. Where do you buy that please? How do you get chocolate back without it melting? Have tried to bring bars of GHiradelli back before but it didn't resemble a bar when we unpacked. I have a list running which at the moment includes: Red lobster cheese biscuits mix (not had it before but I see it comes highly recommended) Pancake/waffle mix Pancake syrup - thinking of calling into crackerbarrel for one of their little bottles Velveeta cheese sauce Squirty cheese in a can French's crunchy onion pot What else should I add? Thanks all |

Choclate I put in the freezer the night before or wrap with ice pack sheets that are in zip lock bags same as I do with the pilsbury dough cinnamon rolls etc |

I brought loads of ghiradellis back. The ones in the hold were fine. I had a couple of melted squares in amongst my hand luggage ones though.

I took tips from some genius on here (as said above)... Chocolate in the freezer until the day you leave - chuck it all in a cool bag with some ice packs, then by the time you get back home it hasn't even started to warm up!

Thanks for the responses on taking chocolate back. Freezing makes sense but don't think the fridge in pop century where we are last 2 nights will have a freezer. Will remember for future trips though when we go from villa straight to airport. |

just to pop in to this.
Cheese isnt permitted to be imported. I do know folks will say that they have done it and they may have been lucky to get it through but its not legal and you can get it seized at the least or a fine at the most. Velveeta and cheese in a can wouldnt be allowed. gov.uk/bringing-food-ani...s-into-uk/food |

We tend to stop on the way to the airport (tradition dictates its the Target at Florida Mall). That way choc's are never in the car long enough to melt!

Mine is the link from the government website and I am a former customs officer so I tend to default to their website for the lost up to date information.
Could your message be something about importing into the USA and not out and back to the UK? By all means if you think your info is correct then declare but be prepared for it the taken off you on entry. |
