So, there’s a new TikTok sensation making waves across the UK! Jules, the American mum living in the UK, recently gave her followers a peek into her favorite budget shop.
On the TikTok account @peachyfamilyuk, which Jules manages with her husband Tom, the family of five shares their everyday adventures with their 42,000 followers. In their latest video, they took a trip to the popular British budget store, B&M, and filled their cart with an array of snacks.
The video starts with Jules and Tom grabbing some American favorites like Pop Tarts, peanut butter, and jam. But as the camera pans, the haul gets increasingly British, featuring Marmite, Ambrosia custard, and Angel Delight.
A Sweet and Fizzy Shopping Spree
The family’s snack spree didn’t stop there. They also picked up a variety of sweets, including Maoams, Cadbury Fingers, a Galaxy sharing bar, and Monster Munch crisps.
When they moved to the drinks aisle, they went all out with a multipack of J20, Tango, Vimto, Oasis, and the iconic Scottish Irn Bru, showcasing their love for fizzy drinks.
Brits Weigh In on the B&M Experience
The comment section was flooded with Brits chiming in on the B&M experience, sharing their own humorous shopping stories. One person joked about entering the store for just a few items and leaving with everything from candles to a garden rake.
Another described emerging from B&M with unexpected finds like suitcases and a curling iron. It seems B&M has a knack for tempting shoppers with more than they planned to buy!
Insights from Another American Expat
This shopping adventure follows another American, Dys from Atlanta, who recently shared her perspective on living in London.
Dys highlighted some of the benefits of life in the UK, such as affordable living compared to some US cities and the convenience of cheap flights to Europe and beyond.
However, Dys also had some critiques, particularly about British drinking culture, which she found to be central to social interactions.
She also described London as a challenging place to find late-night food and felt that the city’s social fabric made it difficult to build a warm, friendly community.
Despite these drawbacks, Dys encouraged Americans to appreciate the variety of sweet treats available in the US, noting that the UK selection often falls short.
So, whether it’s shopping at B&M or navigating life in London, it seems that American expats in the UK have plenty of experiences to share and learn from.
