Our quest for an American grocery store

We've been meaning to find one since we came, and though it's probably frowned upon, we decided to go on a quest for American food in Paris. What can I say, sometimes a girl just need a nice package of Oreos to come home to at the end of the day. So I started out with a google search, and this is my list of stores to visit:

The Real McCoy - 194 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris (close to the Eiffel tower)
Epicerie Anglaise et Américaine de Paris - 5 Cité du Wauxhall, 75010 Paris
Thanksgiving - 20 Rue Saint-Paul, 75004 Paris

Today we went for The Real McCoy - which turned out to be an exceptional idea. The store itself on Rue de Grenelle was closed, but it had a sign on the door which lead us around the corner (to 49 Avenue Bosquet, 75007 Paris) to it's counterpart café, where they sell the same products AND prepared food. We walked out of Paris and into our own little slice of America. They have a plethora of foods we're missing... cereals, pop tarts, gushers, candy, oreos, popcorn, sauces. So luckily, we know we have access in a case of extreme deprivation, but it is very very expensive. A box of Kraft mac n' cheese is 4€50. The best part was that the two girls working there were American too! No language barrier!!! I ordered an "Extreme Burrito" and Audrey ordered a philly cheese steak sub, both with Dr. Pepper, and we were probably the happiest we've been since leaving. Comfort food takes on a whole new meaning when you're far from home.

We left The Real McCoy and traveled on up to Thanksgiving - another great store, and a bit closer to our new apartment. It mostly sold the same foods, but was a little bit cheaper. It carried Duff beer too, which was a funny edition. And vegemite! I've always wanted to try vegemite, but I don't think I would like it so I probably won't spend the 10€ on it. That's all for today!
