Most of the tea they sell is horrible (including the apparently British Brodies), but Twinings is reasonably priced and so are most of the other things they sell. Their special offers can be very cheap indeed. There are 57 stores in Tokyo, most of them close to stations and quite easy to find.
Sweet stuff
Cadbury’s Twirl

Terry’s chocolate orange 567 yen
Tim Tams (similar to Penguins) two packets for 550 yen
Toblerone 330 yen

Others

How to get there
Ones I know how to get to
Oimachi – Come out of the North exit and it’s upstairs in the same building, next to Tsutaya
Shinagawa – Come out of the main JR ticket barriers and turn left. Go down the stairs out of the building and its in the basement of the department store on your left (past the Keikyu station)
Nakameguro – Come out of the station and turn left. There is a large building with a shopping centre beneath it very near the station. It’s near the back of that complex up some steps.

Thank you v. much

I’ve written a whole post on Xmas foods:

I’ve never seen mince pies, but there are links in that post to where you can buy jars of Robertson mincemeat.
The best place for turkey used to be National Azabu. They’ve closed down, but there is a branch in Den-en-Chofu. I think I also saw frozen turkey in Hanamasa last year, and The Foreign Buyers’ Club deliver frozen turkeys, as probably does The Meat Guy.
Sony plaza or Kaldi might be your best bets for chocolate coins.
Which bit of Tokyo are you in?

This page gives some good tips, confirming most of what I’ve written above:
