Durban - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
Sometimes I get Mexican corn tortillas shipped to post and brown sugar. With that said, you can find moscavado sugar easily and it subs in for brown sugar easily, when making American chocolate chip cookies for instance. We go camping a lot, so we do have graham crackers and American marshmallows shipped every so often for s'mores, You can find comparable items, but it doesn't quite taste like home. Near Thanksgiving, I have ordered canned pumpkin (although there is plenty of fresh pumpkin and squash to use as well). - Sep 2024
Laundry and dish detergent and other U.S. cleaning products, trash bags and paper products are of low quality here. Many imported cosmetic brands are available but they are often 30-50% more expensive than U.S. so if you like particular products bring them along. Clothing and shoes are quite expensive and generally not very good quality. - Sep 2010
