Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Thought my kissin' cousins might be interested to know this.  Tesco have just started doing some American Products.  Great, I thought, do I finally get to share all the things I felt I'd been missing?  Ye Gods, the prices!!!!!  How does £3.50 for a 453g tub of Crisco sound?  Or maybe £3.50 for a 473ml of Light Corn Syrup?  And these are supposed to be special introductory prices!  I think not.

Consider  AU $15-$24 [£9.75- £15.60] for 3lb tub of Crisco?  Or AU $8-$13 [£5.20-£8.45] for a 473ml Karo?

That is ridiculous, Katy! Criso is just a vegetable shortening, for crying out loud!

Not just the UK then Suziq - it's nuts!

lol, I know Linda.  Seems like we have to pay a fortune for imported US products.  It's the same with everything - cake mixes, any kind of equipment - molds, stencils etc.

Guess I should consider myself fortunate then.  Can find most things I need or want here. If I do need to import from USA, if I shop around, I can usually find some site with reasonable shipping.  :0)
