Funny as I opened this thread I thought dietary supplements are way more $ in SG.... but you've said it anyway.JackDaniels wrote:Excedrin Migraine

are a couple I can think of other than my favorite hot sauce which I have fedexed over once a quarter.

Yes of course they are, there just aren't many options for those of us with big (think average Caucasian size) booties.I've been here 16 months and have yet to get anything more than a blank stare when asking for my bra size.
Those are good suggestions that I hadn't thought of. So what about things like crest toothpaste, shaving gel, and items like that?boffenl wrote:Don't forget your crystal light, tastycakes and ding dongs. My husband also packed our container with Tide detergent since it is VERY expensive here. We've switched to a local brand that is cheaper than in the US. I'd also stock up on cereal if you're passionate about some of the name brand Big "G" cereals. I love my Cinnamon Toast Crunch ($12 at Cold Storage per box) now it's a luxury.
Don't forget your feminine protection products. It'll take some trial and error to find something you like here in SG--good to have a few months suppy while you work it out.
Paying $6/box for Kraft Dinner prevents me from eating it more often than I shouldboffenl wrote:Best to bring at least a 2 months supply. Crest and shaving cream are expensive (my husband goes to Mustafa and buys four cans at a time to save money--he's even cheaper than I am!). But we're hooked on Aquafresh now.You learn to adapt, but it's better to have your favorites as a back-up while you test.
Another one is fingernail polish--it is expensive for US brands (four to six times as expensive). If you have a container, and have room, bring food.Canned soups, salsa, even spices would be worthwhile. But again, I'm cheap and when I'm back in the US I fill a suitcase half with boxed Mac and Cheese and the other half with Crystal Light and kids crest (which you cna't get here FYI).
I also stock up on gum and licorice.Reading through this it's amazing my kid doesn't have diabetes.
