What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Spices: I like to cook my cultural foods and not all spices are available here. Other than that, as mentioned above you can find mostly everything and we have been happy with the selection here. - Jun 2023
We occasionally wished we’d sent things like canned soup, mac and cheese, or hamburger helper, but the raw ingredients, for the same meals, were easily available. - Mar 2019
Baking goods like chocolate chips, but almost everything else we use is available here. - May 2016
Nothing. - Nov 2014
I know it sounds odd and you cannot ship it, but STEAKS!!! No good quality steaks are available in Bulgaria. (recently Metro started selling Argentinian beef). Anything other, anywhere is just cheap cr*p. - Aug 2014
Clothing (it's very expensive here and little choice even with GAP now open). Other things I would ship would be Crest toothpaste, which they don't carry in Bulgaria. - Jun 2011
Dog food; not a lot to choose from here and it's expensive. Toothpaste; they don't have our typical American brands that I like. Spices for salsa (salsa seems to be a big deal here for some reason for the Americans). Spices for Indian food, and even instant spice packets to make various American dishes. Almonds. They are expensive here. Dried fruits, though they do have those here, in small amounts, but not a whole lot of variety. Saftey pins; can't find them here at all. Craft stores, convenience stores don't really exist here, so anything like that. - Oct 2009
None, you can find pretty much anything here. - Feb 2008
