I was looking to get some Marie Sharp's hot sauces and either the places I found were insanely costly.. or down in the USA... however I came across Uncle Big's Firey Foods web site which is in Canada... and they have free shipping over $65 but local shipping is not too bad either for less than it would cost me to ship across the border.
They have a huge variety but at the time I was just interested in Marie Sharp's.
Then I found out that "Some Like it Hot" Uncle Big's, and the Hatari Bros are all based out of the same warehouse here in Calgary (they also do Farmer's Market stands too)

I now have a source for great hot sauce... granted the prices are still a bit high but not any different than buying the Habanero Tobasco Sauce in the grocery stores... the price is about the same....
AND!!!
Best of all.... I can get the 4L jugs and the 10 oz bottle sizes in some flavors of Marie Sharp's!!!
Which reminds me... I brought some of the Belizan Heat to work and my co-workers (who like a little heat) have nearly finished my bottle!
The Uncle Big guys have been around a while now.. but not many people who I've talked to know about them and are still buying from the USA when they could get it in town and avoid the Duty and extra shipping fees.
Now I can get more normal sizes more often and keep with fresh sauces... I have some older Marie Sharp's Firey Hot in the 4l jug and it is not nearly as good as when it was fresh.
