None. - Nov 2022
More laundry and dish washing detergent, tomatillo green salsa, coffee, a couple of other minor things... but really, everything is available here. - Oct 2019
Anything we need we order online and ship it through DPO. - Aug 2018
We do Amazon orders of paper towels, cleaning supplies, and some cosmetics. We also order diapers because they're cheaper at home, but there is no need to crazy stock up on stuff, except cat litter. If you have a cat, I would bring ALL the cat litter in your HHE. The cat litter here doesn't clump, doesn't contain smells, is super expensive, and Amazon doesn't always let you order litter. Same with pet food in general, American food is very expensive, so brining your own if you're picky, or order it. - Apr 2018
None - everything is available here. - Dec 2016
Less stuff. Storage is a premium in most apartments. - Aug 2015
Kids' birthday party presents. You can find almost anything, but it will be at least 30 percent more in Israel than the U.S., so its advisable to stock up on a lot of things to save money. - Aug 2015
Bacon, no just kidding...Not really sure on this because you can find pretty much anything if you know where to look. Toothpicks and Qtips are a MUST! You will not find any quality ones there! - May 2015
Ship as much cleaning supplies, tolietry items, non-perishable food as you can. You most likely will not find all of your favorite brands and items are expensive. - Mar 2014
Children's food, clothes, favorite snacks, etc. You can always order on Amazon if you need them but again, there's almost everything but expensive and sometimes local brands do not taste the same, like for example tomato sauce. - Aug 2013
There is no need to bring anything if you have access to diplomatic mail. If you don't, bring kid or baby items since they are generally expensive here. - Jul 2013
Baby stuff. The baby things here are very expensive and not of good quality. Gerber for babies: baby formula here is kosher and not good. Toys, clothes. - Feb 2009
