Oh, luxury.

I broke down and went to Asda.  It is Walmart, which makes me cringe, but the main difference is that every single register is open.  It would have only taken ten minutes, but I scribbled my name on the card slip.  I have always done that.  My name is longish, I write big, and it never fits on the line.  They had this huge hissy fit and said that I had to sign my name exactly as it appeared on the back of the card to prevent someone else from using it fraudulently.  I showed them my Driver's license, Student ID and my passport (all with pictures) and signed a blank piece of paper before they agreed that it was okay.  Bizarre.  Probably karma or something for going there.

Here's what I bought:

actual Cottonelle toilet paper - see my letter to the Queen.

Ultra Soft Kleenex - I have a sinus infection and the Kleenex situation is about as bad as the toilet tissue.  My nose is raw.

POPTARTS! - I have been craving these like crazy, and I couldn't find them anywhere, but I was told by 40 people I could get them at Asda, so that was my mine reason for going.

Dr. Scholl's gel insoles - Aaaah.  I am officially gellin' like a felon.

Oh, and I found another food I like: kebabs.  It's not what you think though.  In the US, we put meat and vegetables on a skewer on the grill, and it's a kebab.  In the UK, a kebab is a big piece of Naan bread (Indian, sort of like a flatbread or pita, but cooked better) that has grilled, seasoned, spicy meat chunks with "salad" (a cole slaw-y mixture of cabbage, tomato and cucumbers) and a sauce (yoghurt, mango or curry).  It is absolutely delicious, and although it was huge, I ate the whole thing. Below is a picture comparing the two kinds of kebabs.
