Vilnius - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Peanut butter - texture is not right here. Plastics spoons (plastic cutlery is forbidden here). Snacks - Trader Joe's-like snacks are not available. Most snacks are one ingredient - almond, chip, cracker - with little to no flavor. Gatorade is another one I wish I had shipped to post. - Aug 2023

I wasn't satisfied with the locally available basic cleaning products and started shipping from the U.S. Bleach is particularly hard to find, for some strange reason. As previously stated, American processed foods like canned soup are very hard to find. - Mar 2017


You can get everything you need here or through the pouch. - Aug 2015
