"Shopping for groceries in the UK has thrown me for a loop, with major differences in product availability and business hours compared to my experience in the US."
"I was shocked to learn that half-and-half just doesn't exist in the UK, and that my husband had been mixing a custom blend of milk and cream for my coffee."
After moving from New York City to London, I experienced unexpected challenges with grocery shopping, including the absence of common items like half-and-half and the unavailability of specific sausages.

Fortunately, I discovered an Italian marketplace that offered familiar flavors, though at a higher price.
