Each time we, or more accurately, Mark returns to Shanghai from the US, he always has the maximum amount of bags allowed and weighed to the limit. Here is why.
US$6.25 for the small brick of cheese. Not that he brings cheese home but you get the idea of the import product pricing.
US$14.00 for Granola. We really like Granola but......
US$9.60 for the Pancake mix.
US$12.80 for Special K. This one I might have to end up buying some day if my stash gets depleted.
US$14.75 for the Honey Nut Cheerios - WOW, that one is shocking, even to me.
US$19.55 for these nuts, the Select variety but a small can. We love nuts but I am not sure I can ever bring myself to buy those.
Thank goodness Mark has been able to go back to the states from time to time and we did stock up during summer break.
A peek into a day at the store. Some wonderful items are available here but on an inconsistent basis. Some days you can find it and then maybe in several weeks it will be there again - - or not. It's a gamble; we don't ever get our hearts set on making any particular meal, ingredients are just not reliable enough.
