You got me all excited for a minute there. As am expat living in 

Washington DC I have a great time but do miss Heinz Baked Beans

(There is the Olde English Tea Shop that sell tins for just under 2 

quid but I'm not that desperate!).


With mounting anticipation I visited a well designed easy to use site,

located two cases (24 cans) of Heinz Baked Beans for a total price

of under 9 quid, entered my located to see the shipping costs, and 

found out that the cheapest shipping was standard courier for 

another 38 quid. The angst, the disappointment.
