My wonderful and somehow aweful craving!!!

I HAVE TO HAVE POP TARTS!!!!

My god do you remember those sweet apple and cinnamon crunchy breakfast cereal type thingies..... that burnt the inside of your mouth because you couldnt wait till they cooled down before you ate them. Or when you used to come home and eat the straight out of the packet without even toasting them.......

It is so unfair. Pop Tarts are exclusively sold in America these days. We did however find an American Food shop about an hours drive from us however they are often out of stock and we just do not have the time to be driving down there every weekend.

I've heard of people craving Goji juice!! That comes exclusively from New Zealand (I only know what it is because my best friend got sucked into reselling it and we have 3 cases of it left at home- if anyone is interested PM me)

Really I just wanted to know, Ebay sellers charge $18 postage plus $9 a box of pop tarts, can anyone else help me??? (My DP is looking for Dr Pepper too :ms: Blergh- I think I started this whole American thing now :D)

LOL, sorry I can't help, but just wanted to say that I am very thankful that my craving is in the drive through just down the road - Hungry Jacks..... Good luck

Have PM'd you a website :p

My first preg I just had to have whatever I saw - in a magazine, on the telly.
I actually cried when I saw a popcorn machine in a magazine once - it was 11pm and to late to get any....

USA foods (google it)

cheapest place and they post

I was so mad when pop-tarts dissapeared! My dh used to take them to work on his early shifts. Can't help you there sorry. Noticed you're in melbourne - there used to be a small lolly shop in Lygon St, not sure if it's still there as I moved a few years ago, but they used to sell Dr Pepper, Hershey Bars, etc, so might be worth a try?

My cravings are for Sui-Mins - you know those awful dried noodle things? I haven't had one since I was about 15 but now I want one every afternoon!!

LOL! I really hope you get some poptarts!

Lulu I can relate to wanting what you see on tv etc, and crying over it, as I have done both. Right now I want KFC, as I've been watching the cricket an aweful lot! Aout 2 weeks ago I cried because all I wanted was roast beef and roast potatoes and gravy!

LOL about the crying over food, will have to tell DF about that cause he though I was a lunatic on a flight to China when I started bawling because he promised to save some of his food for me and he forgot and ate it, I was friggin devastated.

Try some of the "sweets" shops. We have a shop here called "sweet tooth" or something similar. It has all the American & English foods & drinks, including pop tarts, Dr Pepper etc. I will try to get there today & see what they charge & if they aren't too expensive I'm happy for you to buy them through me & I can post them to you. That may end up costing a bit??? But if not, if you're happy to do it I'm happy to help. I know it can SUCK really craving something that you just cant have!!!

I'll get some prices & see if they will post like a carton of them or something lmao

The things we do through pregnancy!!!!

if you call the usa store they always have them, evey time i sgo there they have heaps!!

dr pepper is there as well!!

Ok, I just called them, they are called "sugar fix" & I'm about to PM you their web address as you can buy online & they can ship to you in Melbourne... they have all your favs hahaha

LOL, bet you order them and as soon as you get them the sight of them will make you sick....

USA foods had heaps last time I went there. You could always call them to make sure before you go there, or before you order online & then they send them via Austpost.
I love brown sugar & cinnemon flavour!!

Thanks guys, we are going to make a trip over to the American Food Shop in Bentleigh on the weekend. I wanted to order online (although it can be a little pricey but not as bad as buying direct from the US) but the only ones they had that weren't 'out of stock' were Apple Cinnamon and Choc Fudge. I'll take 10 boxes of the Apple Cinnamon but I alos really wanted the Strawberry Frosted. At this point any flavour Pop Tart will do!!! Waiting till Saturday is just sooooooo hard LOL.

OMG they have peanut putter M&M's!!!!!

They are soooo yummy. I might order some to eat after baby comes, cos got GD at the moment.

I get stuff from USA foods all the time. They are pretty cheap too.

oh all this talk about the usa store is giving me cravings for root beer!!

they are not cheap!! $13.00 for a pack of lucky charm or trix cereal!!!

oooooooooooooooh. I keep trying to tell myself that desire is the root of all pain. that Buddhist stuff just doesn't work too well against pg cravings.

I did cry in the grocery a few weeks ago. I'd been wanting some Cuban black bean chili that I used to make all the time when lived in Texas. Full of vitamin C, protein, fiber, so much good stuff, so tasty, and comfort food. I was dying to make a huge pot of it and suck it down with some cornbread. Some of the ingredients were heaps more expensive here but DH loves my Americas cooking and doesn't mind. But there-just-weren't-any-black-beans. :cry: I really tried hard, but I did start crying right there in the bean isle. It hadn't even occurred to me I might not be able to make it. Still haven't found any, but I do keep my eyes open. I think I'd step over my grandmother's dead body for a huge pot of B.Bean Chili. I tried using borlotti beans, I hate kidney beans, and pinto beans weren't right either. Ick. We did find cornmeal at a health food store, so at least I can have cornbread. And I've been craving *REAL* mexican/south american food too so I've had to learn how to make it from scratch.

Sorry to whinge so much, but aside from missing my mother, not being able to cook my usual foods has been the hardest part of moving here. I never feel so far from everyone as when I start salivating for some goat meat tamales right from the steamer.

Maddy.. i was going on the cost of Dr Pepper. $30 for 24 cans.. the lolly shop up the road is selling 24 cans for $64.95!!! What a rip off!
Yeh i think that box of lucky charms is maybe 2 boxes in one? Havent bought them a while but last time i did from them it was like double the size of a regular box of cereal..mmmm yumm!! But hey.. cheaper than flying to the US to get some ;)

Smudgie, how funny! I remember those Pop Tarts!

Well I craved CHEEZELS in my pregnancy and the last two weeks of my pregnancy I was eating a box per day. Weird! I'm surprised I didn't give birth to a huge cheezel...lol

oh no kell it wasnt a go at you!! sorry if sounded that way! it was just about the price of the cereal!! and some of the other stuff is quite pricey!!

this is the one thing i miss about the states is the yummy food!!

Oh god, poptarts, SO DELICIOUS! You used to be able to buy them at coles and such. Wow, guess that was ages ago then eh?

I craved coca-cola like nothing else when I was pregnant, soooo bad lol.

I agree some of the stuff is quite expensive but it is less pricey then the shop that Kell is talking about.

Coke is another one of those things that I hardly ever drank before I was pregnant but want it much more now. It's quite a popular one with pregnant women.

I wrote to Kelloggs last night, begging for them to bring back Pop Tarts LOL. There is actually a petition online!!! Either way only 1 more sleep and I can have my munchies.

Well I GOT MY POP TARTS and I even got some Jolly Ranchers too. mmmmmm I am one happy person right now. We drove all the way over to USA Foods bought 4 boxes and then they told us that they actually supply to other shops in Melbourne, which meant we didn't have to drive the hour to get there. There are actually two shops in the West that we can go to from now on.

Now I just hope they have Jolly Ranchers because as much as I insisted I only wanted a couple - I wouldn't eat a whole bag, I really want some more!!!

Not sure where in melb you are, but there use to be an american shop in a side street just over the train tracks in Centre rd Bentleigh... if i am down that way i will see if it is still there.

ETA: Sorry should have read all the posts... you have already been there :P

I am glad you got your Pop Tarts, now i want jolly ranchers!! I fell in love with them when i was in Canada for a few months, i havent had them for years. Now i'm on the seach.....lol........

i have seen dr pepper in lolly stores. some places have a section for america items.
