When holidays start up we won’t be discussing which park we’ll go to first, it’ll be which store! Mine will be Walmart, followed by Bath and Body Works and then Panda Express for lunch.

Steak n Shake seasoning. Nothing else comes close to it.

Also intreagued, a few people saying they have run out of paracetamol and ibuprofen, but they are a staple/cheap product to purchase here so wondered why you would bring back from USA?

I’ve got arthritis so get through quite a few paracetamol if I’m having a flare up. It’s much easier to buy them in pots of 250 or 500 than keep buying 16 or 32, I pay for my prescription so I’d paying £9+ for 100 from the GP and my stiff fingers in the morning means opening the pots is far easier than popping from blister packs.

I’m a pharmacist so the risk of accidental overdose in my household is very low.

There will be brands that Dibbers find are more effective, such as Advil. 😊

Well I hope this does not make me hated, but my partner works on the trains and at their station they clubbed together and one of them used one of these US based buy / ship services and split the cost. They only did their first order just before Xmas and we used it for first time and restocked up on:

Tylenol PM
Melatonin
B&BW shower gels and hand soaps
Bounce tumble dryer sheets
Aussie brand hair products for my sister
Degree deod sticks for my better half
Plus other things like seasonings etc from Walmart.

Not as expensive as I feared in the end, so think will join them in a future shop

Yes to so many things already said
Meds - advil, paracetamol (so so much cheaper) and antihistamines - all cheaper and handier over there
Vitamins, melatonin and some stuff Mr W takes to ease arthritis (so much more expensive over here)
Secret deodorant - nothing comes close
BBW - Sanitiser and hand wash. I have carried a hand sanitizer for years even before it was trendy.
Buffalo wild wings Salt and Vingar and lemon pepper sprinkles. Love them on chips and freshly popped popcorn.

Ibuprofen and paracetamol in large tubs from the supermarkets
Bath & Body works stuff in general but mainly the little hand gels
Melatonin
Coffee creamers
Various sweets (not for me)
Mitchum roll on gel deodorants (so much cheaper than here!)
Antihistamines
Other deodorants
Some make up pieces
Sunscreen spray in multipacks

That's all I can think of right now, but there will be other stuff. Why oh why didn't I do a proper stock up last time I went? Ah yes, because I had no reason to think we wouldn't be able to get back 6 months later
