Budapest - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Almost everything is available with a little searching in Budapest. Quality, especially of paper goods, can be less than you would like, though. I did often have trouble finding certain baking-related ingredients, such as brown sugar and baking soda. Cough drops, REAL ziplock baggies, and REAL aluminum foil are good to ship. - Feb 2020


Beef, peanut butter, and brown sugar. - Nov 2018


Nothing, we like local food and products (many from Germany). And what we really cannot find comes easily from Amazon. - Dec 2017


Peanut butter, American baby food (other baby items are fine, though), cream of chicken/mushroom soups (their's here are a different texture), fragrance-free laundry soap (they have a British one, though), batteries (very pricy, but available here). - Jan 2012


I wish there were more vegetarian products available. There are actually quite a few soy products here (soy yogurt, soy milk), but few items like tempeh. I would definitely ship clothes, as shopping here can be disappointing (though not always). - Apr 2010


Favorite brands. - Feb 2008
