The closest alternative to product you wish you could buy thread

Don't know about some of you (particularly for those who do not live in the US), but the excitement and frustration at seeing products we can't get is getting quite annoying..... Halo Top, I am looking at you! But there are of course many, or if they are available in your country they cost a fortune.
So the purpose of this thread is to ask if there is a similar product to one you want but cannot seem to find it in your respective city/country. Or if the same product is available, from where? It is also a thread where you can ask for an alternative if you cannot find one.
To start - being from the UK:
Halo Top - Closest ones I've found are Oppo ice creams (85 cals per 100ml). There is also other things like Frills ice cream tubs which are even better in terms of cals and taste is actually quite good. Cart d'Or Light is also excellent in terms of calories (better than all the ones above, I believe 70 cals per 100ml) and taste is great as you expect but only vanilla flavour available.
We have plenty of the zero noodle stuff in places like Holland and Barrett and Amazon. Sainsbury's are also selling them now too.
FlavorGod - Unfortunately I have found no alternative as I am in love with the Chocolate Donut flavouring so I end up spending a fortune on Amazon and have actually made them run out for now on them! Cheese is also excellent.

I understand in the US there are dozens of flavours for Stevia drops. My Bulk Barn carries vanilla.
Likewise I understand there are flavoured peanut butters. Not here. But that might be a good thing.
I think Canada has some Campbell's soups not available in the US. Sucks to be you!0 -

Seems always so expensive to buy from iherb. Any product there that is your absolute must buy?0 -

It's cheaper than buying the same or comparable products here! I buy herbs and spices in bulk, toothpaste, bodywash, shampoo/conditioner, stevia, food products (bars, snack foods).0 -
I'd have to say PB2, laughing cow cheese, those flavored peach tea packets you put into water, I haven't seen Dr pepper 0 here either (I live in Germany but am from the US).. And on a non healthy type of food, I could really go for Rotel and Velveeta dip!0

Do you not live on base, or have commissary access for the rotel & velveeta?0
