Oh yea I sure did! I still have the friggin crud and so yesterday decided to take myself to world market for some real medicine. hehe. I came hope with 4 packs of Bundy ginger beer, arnotts shortbread creams, crunchy bars, flakes, curry pastes, sesame salad dressings, mango chutneys and some really yummy kiwi and grape jubes. I love the selection of international groceries as well as the Aussie stuff. Has anyone tried the PG tips tea bags from England? I usually buy these at my supermarket but they are cheaper at world market. Nice and strong and similar to Aussie black tea. A box of 80 cost 7.99. Got a huge jar of healthy dog biscuits for my pooches as well as some rather cute easter decorations (straw bunnies). Oh and I bought some Tim Tams to take to work for all to try. I am not a lover of these but I know most people are.
I came home feeling quite energised. Retail therapy does work!

Yep it sure is good stuff and not that bad of a price at all when you think of it.
By the time you pay to have things sent via the stores that sell Australian goods its just as cheap to go buy it in a World Market store.

| I got lucky Pamm, there's a World Market here in Colorado Springs. But I just don't ever really have a spare dollar or two to spend. We also have a place near Fort Carson called Par Avon (or something like that) thats like a Continental Deli. But again, highly overpriced.....$6 for a teeny jar of vegemite! Just crazy! g0099
