My husband's sister lives in England, and on her occasional visits back to the US - or when we hop the pond - there is always a shopping list involved. Apparently, you can't get beloved retail CPG brands like Lucky Charms or Oreos in England. Not true, of course, but now I understand why I'm always being asked to pack boxes of sugary cereals in my suitcase. Because in the UK, American food goods are damn EXPENSIVE.

$8.00 for a jar of Jif? Over $6.00 for a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese?
Here's a link to some other delicious outrages found in the aisles of Selfridges.
