Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers

What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?

We can order things we cannot find locally through diplomatic pouch, and the things we usually order are foods to supplement our vegan diet that we are not able to find here (nutritional yeast, miso, etc.), and hair care products, as my daughter and I have curly hair. We did sent some items with our HHE, and I wish we had sent more almond butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar, as these items are expensive or not the same quality locally. - Feb 2020


None. All were available on local economy or could be purchased through Amazon. - Aug 2018


Alcohol. Vodka is cheap. Everything else is 2-3X the cost in the US. Bring some 220v converter plugs. You can never have enough. - Aug 2010


Your favorite American cereal. Stores carry some basics but not necessarily your favorite. - Jan 2008
