Thank you U.S. Embassy! The U.S. teachers who work at TIS can purchase goods from the commissary by submitting a weekly request - we get a spreadsheet of goods available and tick off what we want. Prices are comparable to supermarkets at home and we pay only a $3.00 delivery fee. I never tried delivery from Safeway or QFC, but I imagine it is much like this.
Well...what was in our first order? Tostitos cheese dip and tortilla chips (lunch today) and popcorn (possibly Jeanette's dinner tonight). OK, so we also got a few real food items like black beans, but most of this box was goodies. I wonder how long the box of sweet-n-salty bars will last. It's funny how comforting these junk food items are. It's been since we left the States 15 July that we've had most of this stuff.
Well, the jar of cheese dip is gone now. Guess it's time to move on to popcorn. Our landlord delivered a brand new microwave last night; what better to try it out on!
Can I send you things? Email me an address! I like putting together care packages more than working.
