Pristina - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Non-scented cleaning supplies. Coconut oil, peanut butter, Asian/Mexican condiments, brown sugar, salad dressings, chocolate chips, holiday foods, etc. - Aug 2021


If I were to send anything I would probably send Asian cooking products. You can now find Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but that's about it. Sometimes I have seen rice vinegar and sesame oil, but it's been a while. Also, any Latin America products like chipotle in adobo or dried chilis. Indian spices are also hard to come by and cilantro is nearly non-existent (unless you grow it yourself) - Jul 2019


Balsamic vinegar; durable cream for whipping, spices, specially Asian spices, coconut milk, freezing bags. - Nov 2016


Ship your favorite toilet paper and paper towels; also dish detergent, baby detergent, personal shower wash/gels, and soaps. Bring these things until you can find comparable items locally. - Jun 2016


Baking supplies. An air purifier for the winter. A better vacuum (the Embassy-provided one was just OK). - Aug 2015


Really good beer. Quick packaged dinners for lazy/tired evenings. Cheddar cheese in your carry-on. Real vanilla. American toilet paper and paper towels. Free and clear detergent. Natural cleaning supplies. High quality sponges. Mr. Clean erasers. Ziploc bags. - Jun 2014
