Harare - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Wish we'd brought more cleaning supplies and liquids in general. - Jan 2024


Cake and brownie mixes, olive oil, cheese. You can find most things on the market. - May 2021


Not much. Just think about specifically American (or other national) flavors you think you might crave. There are Chinese shops in town, but not a great selection of other Asian ingredients. This is a great place to grow your own garden... - Feb 2020


Everything. - Feb 2019


Cooking oils, olive oil, laundry detergent, dry foods, cereals, everything. If you have a pet or a baby, bring all your stuff in with you. - Jan 2019


More cleaning supplies, extra virgin olive oil (we cook way more than we did in DC), lotions, body oils, conditioners (the water is hard and tough on skin and hair). Basically go overboard on liquids in your HHE, if you have room. - Apr 2018


Nothing comes to mind. - Sep 2017


All electrical items are crazy expensive. Good quality mattresses and furniture. - Jul 2017


Books and movies - Apr 2016


Shredded wheat. - Dec 2013

More auto parts and motor oil. Binoculars and more safari clothes. - Jun 2009


Everything. - Dec 2008


Tortillas, black beans, asian cooking supplies, feminine hygiene products... - Sep 2008
