Lome - Post Report Question and Answers

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

I usually bring a bag of coffee beans with me. There is no variety in the grocery stores so if you prefer certain brands then you're out of luck. Once I run out I sustain on the local brand until I go home again. - Mar 2019


We typically ship a lot of Italian products: espresso coffee, olive oil, wine, etc. - Feb 2019


We missed frozen stuff like potstickers, hash browns, and sausage... but you can survive - Sep 2017

Order goods from Amazon. - May 2014


olive oil, food - Mar 2011
