You're welcome!

My daughter lives in the States, and she always gets asked to take back Jaffa cakes, and Colman's English mustard.

I suppose English tea could count as a snack item two, so maybe a couple of English Breakfast, or Yorkshire, tea bags.

Cadbury's Chocolate Fingers.

I have been thinking about this thread all evening! What have you gone with, moolady?

FizzyPink · 25/06/2020 21:13

How does this work? Do you literally post a box full of snacks from your country in to the other person and they post you one back?

moolady1977 · 25/06/2020 22:24

@Leeds2 I'm going to do a selection of the things you put and others put and maybe some jam ,lemon curd and if I see anything that grabs my attention when I go shopping I'm going to pick that up as well then find two boxes and hope it all fits . @Turnedouttoes yes it's just like that I put a post on one of the snack groups I'm on and got two people who wanted to swap ,we set a budget and away we go with it

Sounds great!

Will you please post what you receive, in due course? I am overly invested in this whole concept!!

moolady1977 · 25/06/2020 23:28

Yeah I will I'm rather excited about it and have decided to share the contents I get with my pregnant dd and see if she remembers some of the Romanian snack foods from when we were there 10 years ago

@Leeds2 hi I won't be able to post a picture as the person I was with is actually a scammer she has scammed about 7 of us and it's totally put me off doing it again

FizzyPink · 30/06/2020 22:05

Oh OP that sucks! Did you send your box and she didn’t send hers?

moolady1977 · 30/06/2020 22:15

I saw it on the group that someone had been scammed,looked and she had scammed 7 of us we all sent parcels and she has sent us all the same picture back

God that is so shitty, so greedy to take boxes from 7 people! Maybe she’ll choke on her stolen snacks
