Do you guys have a Cost Plus World Market near you?
I used to go there with my mom to get Scottish goods - small stuff like walker's shortbread and that orange marmalade from Dundee.

The large grocery chains (Kroger and H-E-B) in my area stock some UK goodies on the “International Foods” aisle. I’m usually able to lay in a supply of Irn Bru from H-E-B before the Highland games season to have on hand for hospitality at my tent, along with some Belhaven and Balvenie.

Wegman's which us a chain, has a decent uk tea and snack section. But all locations are not the same.

Also a good place to get British teas like typhoo or pg tips.

Non perishables like that should be easy to find online.

I can get them, but the last time I bought them from amazon they were stale.

Well yes, I see. I would certainly miss Walkers crisps. Smarties? I must have eaten thousands of those in my time, but I am not sure that they are still around, perhaps I have just not noticed them recently? As to Mr. Kipling’s creations , I have never been totally convinced how freshly baked they are but we always have a packet or two of their wares lurking in the cupboard.
It seems from what others are saying here that UK produce is not that difficult to obtain over there.
