Most everything that one needs is here, including ketchup. Heinz is available in all the supermarkets. If you like mexican food, masa and pinto beans are difficult to find even in Cebu, and Jalapenos are difficult to find in Dumaguete (but canned embassa are in Cebu). The cheese here you will find greatly disappointing and expensive.

Hello Dave,
maybe you might bring also something for Imp and Uggy. That is if they need something specifically for them.

 

We use the Heinz ketchup here, tastes like what we had in the states. I agree, if you are wanting mexican food, bring your own corn masa, jars of jalapenos, pinto beans....yes, cheese is very expensive, but I noticed my last trip to the states that the prices of almost everything has gone way up there, too. We like Malt O Meal which is not available here, so we bring that from the states. The instant oatmeal here is not quite like what we are used to in the states, either. If you like canned green beans, they aren't always available here, either. Also, they don't have as much available for cats here as they do there, so you might want to stock up on some of their favorite toys, treats, etc....
Sudafed (I buy the Wal Mart brand).....it is banned here, so I would suggest buying some there to have available to you here. I usually buy 4 boxes to last until my next trip.
Good Luck!!
