Where can I find...?
A
Almond extract: arôme amande amère
Available at most grocery stores. Comes in a small glass bottle, usually near the vanilla and baking powder.
Arizona Tea
Green Tea with Honey, Ice Tea with Peach at Little Britain
Artificial sweetener (saccharine): edulcorant
Available at most grocery stores. Comes in a large glass jar with red lid, usually near sugar and flour.
B
Bacon: poitrine fumée
I find what is labeled ‘bacon’ is more like what we call Canadian bacon. Poitrine fumée is like thick-cut country ham.
Bacos, Bacon Bits
at Little Britain
Baked beans
Heinz brand is available at most large grocery stores, usually in the import section. You can also doctor up a can of cheap Cassoulet beans (first take out the meat add-ons) with ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, bacon and liquid smoke.
Baking powder: levure chimique
Available in small packets (about 2 tsp) at any grocery store. Alsace brand is pink. Look for them near the vanilla-flavored sugar, ice cream toppings, and birthday candles. If you'd like a larger, spoonable container you can get one at Little Britain. If you are a serious baker, you can get a kilo of baking powder at Supermarché Asie. And if you want to share between a few serious bakers, you can get 8 pounds at Paris Store.
Baking soda: bicarbonate de soude
Available in a blue and white box from most grocery stores. You can also get small containers from Little Britian, and many other ethnic grocery stores.
BagelsNow available in packs of 4 at Monoprix in the bread section. Frozen bagels are available from Raconte-moi la Terre or Picard. Bagel shops in town include Best Bagels at Terraux and the recently opened City Bagels in the 2nd.
Barley: orge
Available at a very reasonable price from Bahadourian, and many of the organic grocery stores.
BBQ sauceHeinz BBQ sauce is available at most grocery stores. More Heinz products here. Little Britain also has a nice selection of BBQ sauces.
Beans
Old El Paso Refried Beans, and Pork and Beans available from Little Britain. Check the tex mex section at Auchan, last time I was there I saw the labels for black and pinto (bayos) bean cans, but there were none there.
Beef Jerky at Little Britain
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream
Select flavors available at Raconte-moi la Terre and City Bagels. There is a Ben & Jerry's at Place Terreaux. Many grocery stores now carry it, and you can get it delivered From Domino's Pizza. You may not find all of the flavors you like at the regular stores Little Britain also has: Half Baked, Phish Food, Baked Alaska, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Coconuttery.
Betty Crocker Mixes available at the most reasonable prices at Little Britain.
Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chunk Muffin, Blueberry Muffin, Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Devil's Food Cake.
Bisquick Mix, from Betty Crocker at Little Britain.
Black beans: haricots noirs
Available at very reasonable prices from Bahadourian, the Asian grocery stores at the Guillotière, and the Indian/African groceries. You can get them at the many organic groceries, and in the regular supermarkets, often in the northern african import section. It's usually more expensive there though. You can get Progresso canned Black Beans from Little Britain.
Black mushrooms, dried
Available at very reasonable prices from theAsian grocery stores at the Guillotière.
Bloody Mary Mix
Little Britain has a HUGE Tabasco brand Bloody Mary Mix.
Blue cheese dressing
Wishbone brand is available at Auchan.
Bratwurst sausages
Johnsonville's brand available at Carrefour and Ed.
Brown sugar:
You can get light and dark brown sugar with Little Britain. There are a number of substitutes for brown sugar. The closest I've come is "Douceur de Coco" from La Vie Claire, which comes really darn close, and has a low glycemic index. There is sucre viergoise, light and dark. It is basically soft white sugar covered with a caramel spray. There is also cassonade, a flavorful raw sugar. Kari suggested putting a couple of drops of maple flavoring to make up for the difference in flavor (before there was real brown sugar available.)
Bread maker mixes
Available inexpensively from LIDL and also at most large grocery stores.
Buckwheat flour: farine de sarrasin
Available at most grocery stores.
Bugles
A good substitute is the 3D brand offered by PepsiCo. You can find sweet chili, cheese, plain, bacon, paprika, peanut, bacon and mozzarella, cheese and herbs, and other flavors at most grocery stores. More PepsiCo products here.
Bulgur
Available at a very reasonable price from Badhourian.
Butterfinger Bars at Little Britain
Buttermilk: Elben
There are many possible substitutes for buttermilk, but the best I've found is Yorik fermented milk made by Yoplait. You can find it in most grovery stores in France and it works perfectly in many American recipes. If you can't find Yorik, look for lait fermenté in the yogurt aisle. A word of caution - Yorik also comes in fruited flavors, so if you want plain buttermilk, look for nature.
Butternut squash
Seen at markets, Intermarché, Auchan, Casino and Ed. And yes, they're called 'le butternut'. Recipe idea here.
Butterscotch Syrup at Little Britain.
C
Cadbury Eggs at Little Britain
Caesar dressing
Wishbone brand is available at Auchan and the French Florette brand at Monoprix.
Campbell’s soups
See list of products here.
Update from C: Campbell's soup comes under 2-3 labels, including Liebig.
Cappuccino mix
Maxwell House brands available at Intermarche. Also vailable occasionally in bulk at LIDL.
Captain Crunch at Little Britain
Cheddar cheeseYou can get real cheddar cheeses from Little Britain. Auchan, now carries what they call Ceddar Rouge at the cheese counter ;) It's not red it's orange. Sharp cheddar cheese comes and goes. It's been reported at Carrefour's cheese counter, but I just recently saw it on the shelf next to the processed cheese slices. You can get it at usually at the Monoprix and Auchan cheese counter.
Cheerios at Little Britain
Cherry pie filling or Pie Cherries: Griottes
Preserved cherries are available at Leader Price in glass jar, near applesauce. Need to add thickener and sweetener to make pie filling, but this is a good start. You can get your own pie cherries, griottes, at some markets, when they are in season.
Chili con Carne, Stagg's brand at Little Britain
Chocolate Chips: Pépites de chocolat
Here you can only get the mini chips. Little Britain has a 6 oz bag of Nestle Chocolate Chips, which is a little spendy. I usually buy a Nestle chocolate dessert bar and chop it up. You may want to check out the chocolate chunks at G. Detout.
Cinnamon sticks: canelle en baton
Available at Bahadourian among other places. Great for making wassail!
Cilantro: coriandre
Available inexpensively at the Asian grocery stores at the Guillotière, or from Arab men selling outside of Bahadourian.

Available in many places, but the least expensive by far is Leader Price.
Coffee Mate at Little Britain.
Cookie dough
Prepared chocolate chip cookie dough has been spotted at Carrefour and Monoprix, near the pie crusts in the refrigerated section.
Corn:Mais
You can find canned corn just about anywhere. If you want fresh corn on the cob you can go to Bail Distribution in the 7eme. They carry mostly local products, so they may only have it when it's in season.
Corn Bread Mix
Aunt Jemima brand available at Little Britain.
Corn Syrup
Light and Dark Karo Brand available at Little Britain.
Cornmeal: semoule de mais
Available from Bahadourian and Africa Musso in large plastic bags, about 2 kilos each. Bahadourian has several choices of meal size, from rough to fine. The medium is excellent for making Southern Girl's cornbread.
Cottage cheeseAvailable occasionally at Monoprix. Look for a pack of two cottage cheese bowls in green packaging, near the yogurts. It has also been spotted at Auchan. Little Britain has it.
Country ham
Added by W: Jambon fumé that you use for raclette tastes like Virginia Country Ham if you heat it in a frying pan.
Country sausage
See recipe here to make your own, or try chipolatas as a substitute.
Cranberries
Spotted fresh at Auchan in the produce section, near raspberries and blueberries. Also spotted dried at Lidl. You can get them fairly reasonably at Little Britain and G. Detout.
Cranberry Sauce
Ocean Spray Whole Berry, and Smooth cranberry sauce are available at Little Britain. You can usually find it at Carrefour (the only real american thing in our section there, and I think it's in the British section.)
Cream cheese: fromage à tartiner
The closest french equivalent is fromage à tartiner, available cheaply just about everywhere. St. Moret is the brand version of it, but personally I don't taste the difference. This is a good option if you want to spread it on something. It's problematic for dessert recipes, since it has a more watery consistency. For that some people use Kiri squares. If you want Philadelphia brand you can find it at a lot of different grocery stores now. You can find regular, light and chives at Little Britain.
Cream of mushroom soupKnorr brand in a liter box is available at most large grocery stores, or you can use packets of instant soup.
Crescent rolls in a can

English muffins
Both white and wheat, available at Monoprix in the bread section
F
Flour: farine
For all-purpose flour, look for Type 65. French all-purpose flour is more like what we call cake flour in the US.
French onions
Added by C: The powdered "gratinee d'oignon" makes a very respectable French onion dip when made with creme fraiche epaisse. Crush the croutons or they swell and get soggy.
Fried onions: oignons frits
Commonly used for topping green bean casserole, these little guys can be found at Leader Price and Intermarche for about 1.50 Euro. Also spotted in the Asian grocery stores at the Guillotière.

The closest thing to graham crackers here are McVitie's Sablés Anglais, it's the english version. You can get these just about anywhere, but you will also find them at Little Britain.
Granola
Carrefour has the best granola we've ever had anywhere - hands down. It's their generic Muesli in the green box. Or, a recipe here. Alpen brand granola at Little Britain.

Marshmallow cream
You can get it at Little Britain. I have also seen it from time to time at Bahadourian, and Best Bagels at Terreaux in plain and strawberry flavored. Really good to know for fudge making season :)
Marzipan
You can find this at Little Britain. I don't know where else you might be able to find it.
Maxwell House coffees
Added by J: Found instant coffees and capuccino mixes at Intermarche.
More information here.
Mayonnaise, Hellmann's brand
Ok, so real mayonnaise is french in origin and is really not hard to make... but if you were missing this you can get it at Little Britain.
Milk
You may be wondering why the milk here is sold in little boxes at room temperature. Most of the milk her goes through (UHT) Ultra High Temperature pasteurization, which kills all micro-organisms, giving it a shelf life of 6-9 months.

Mixed grain bread
You can find sliced bread all over, but Monoprix brand 7 céreales is really, really good.
Molasses: mélasse
Available in the bio sections or bio stores. Be careful though, it’s much stronger than molasses in the US. I use half mélasse and half honey for making molasses spice cookies.
Mole
Is now carried by Auchan in the Tex-Mex section.
Mounds candy bars
Added by J: Bounty bars are a great substitute! The blue packages are milkm chocolate and the red are dark chocolate.
Mountain Dew
at Little Britain.
Mozzarella
Available everywhere, but I find the kind sold in plastic-covered rectangles to be the most like American mozzarella. The brine-packed mozzarella balls are great for salads, but are too wet for using in pizza or lasagna.
Muffin Cases
Reasonably available at Little Britain, in the baking section.
Mustard, French's Yellow Mustard
Yes we live in the land of good mustard, but it doesn't work on a corn dog. You can get the French's at Little Britain. Don't be fooled by the yellow mustard on the grocery shells or at Ikea, that's not it.
N
Nestea drinks
Owned by Coca-Cola, white peach and light white peach are available in most large grocery stores.
Nilla Wafers
Try "Langue de chat" cookies for a similar taste and texture. Put two together and it's almost the same.

Update from C: The African/Asian market called Madras, near metro Saxe-Gambetta, has 3-4 different varieties of peanut butter for under 2 euros a jar. The cheapest is good.

The pink bottled Pepsi Light (also sweetened with aspartame) is marketed for women, so back off, guys. For more products available from PepsiCo, see here.

Powerade drinks
Available in aqua plus, magma river, citrus, ice storm and orange dunk flavors.
Powdered sugar: sucre glace à saupoudrer
Not all powdered sugars are the same here. I prefer the 'St. Louis' brand, some like 'Daddy'. They come in hourglass shaped containers. Whatever you do, if you are planning to make frosting don't pick up the Dia brand powdered sugar. I have some very sad frosting stories that resulted from Dia pwd. sugar.
Pringles
You can find original, sour cream & onion, paprika, hot & spicy at most large grocery stores. Some stores also carry barbecue, cheese & onion, salt & vinegar, bacon, jalapeno, Latin pepper, Mexican salsa, feta & onion, tomato & mozzarella and Thai sweet chili.

You can now get Libby's brand canned pumpkin from Little Britain.

Here’s a recipe for pumpkin pie filling using courge.
Q
Quinoa
Available inexpensively at Bahadourian, both light and dark brown. I’ve found light brown in the bio section of large grocery stores.

Rice, Zatarain's Rice Mixes
at Little Britain.
Ricotta cheese
Available in most grocery stores, or you can substitute fromage en faiselle or chevre in some cases. Both work well in lasagne and ricotta cheesecake is a lighter dessert than its cream cheese counterpart.
Ritz crackers
Available in small boxes at Monoprix and Carrefour. But it should be noted that Tuc’s brand are very good as well. Regular sized Ritz crackers are available at Little Britain.
Roasted chickensI know these are available (and delicious) at the markets, but should be noted that Carrefour does a decent chicken too, and they cut the prices in half on Saturday evenings before closing!

S
7up
Available in most grocery stores. You can find regular, light and tropical freeze flavors. See more PepsiCo products here.
Salsa
Doritos and Old El Paso brands available at most large grocery stores. Pringles makes Dippers called salsa heaven and fiery salsa. Generic and French brands are often sweet rather than spicy.
Best find: Auchan La Costeña salsa - Arriera, Casera, Taquera, Verde, Picante para Botana. Variety depends on what you store you're at.
Saltine type crackers
Try 'Crackers salés' from Leader Price. They come sealed in 20 snack-size packs for a very reasonable 1.19 euros. You can get real Saltine Crackers from Little Britain, although last I checked a big box was over 8 euros, choke choke... I'd have to have a serious craving.
