    Hello and welcome to EasyExpat.com!

    Shopping is an Olympic sport for some people, while others just need tips on where to find common goods in the USA. Do you like to shop? What is your favorite part of shopping in the USA? What is the worst part? Where are your favorite shopping malls or boutiques?

    What should new expats know about finding products in the USA? What did you find confusing to find when you moved aboard? Is there a special item you are still looking for?

    Where is the best place to shop for groceries? Do you shop online or ship items from abroad?

    Thank you for sharing your experience and providing information for others to follow in your footsteps! :)

    Most British items can be bought here in the USA, Some supermarkets have a section for British goods like Marmite and Branston Pickle and of of of course tea and spotted dick. If You cant find an item in a store there are many online stores that specialize in Britsh goods. However, I have yet to find a British banger anywhere. But hope springs eternal.
    Some larger stores keep British goods under a "Middle East" banner so look for that.

    Thanks so much for you tips Sunconure! I know people frequently struggle trying to find the products they know and love abroad and I am sure this is a help. I'd also like to point expats to the directory which offers services and sites for shopping abroad: http://www.easyexpat.com/en/directory/u ... opping.htm

    Anyone else have tips or favorite sites?
