Default LC stuff in Canadian Stores - need a shopping list!

Hi everyone

As I'm living in the UK, there are tons of things I can't get here. But my mom is coming out to visit me in September, and she's been asking me for my "shopping list"...

hhhmmm, let me see.... (she better bring an extra suitcase!)


I would like to know what are your favourite "must haves" from Canadian stores (she's coming from BC, so western Canadian stores would be helpful). Splenda costs the equivalent of $14 a box here including shipping (and is only available online here), so obviously she'll have some of that!)

So far, I want her to bring:

Splenda
Crystal Light Drink Mix


What else should I get her to bring me? (keeping in mind Customs is going to have a field day when I ask her to bring over half a dozen boxes of "white powder"). What keeps you going? Any new goodies to try?

Thanks in advance!

Me, and in addition to the products you listed I vote for:
- a mixed case of Ross Chocolates, all flavours (show moderation, eh)?
- Brown Sugar Twin, liquid Sucaryl (calcium cyclamates version) and liquid Sugar Twin

Most other useful bits you can most likely get there (proper dark unsweetened dutch process cocoa, ricotta, dried unsweetened coconut..., etc.)

If you want some inspiration on a few other products, float on over to my webpage at www.LowCarbCanada.com (or float your mouse over the logo below) ... I only carry high-quality products
