[The Nature Boy 4,224]

You cannot bring any meat to the US.

I will make sure when we load up to come home next month I tell my wife Harpa said she can't bring that nasty corned beef and that 1/2 suit case of dried fish LOL

Can't bring meat she said

Wrong answer

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Well, only reason I can think of as to why they try to bring corned beef (usually purefoods brand) or things like likas papaya, eskinol astringent, etc is the peso vs dollar cost... you can buy a sixpack of corned beef at puregold in the philippines for the price of one at seafood city in carson, ca I heard >.<

I don't try to understand it. It's from home and they all share it here in the US. I leave Monday for Cebu and we are packed to the gills with Pasalubong. One of our dear Pinay Friends gave us a bag of OTC medcine to give to her family in Bohol. (aspirin, antacids , Vitamins Advil etc etc). I asked, why not just by it there, Reply-They want it from America,, SMH

We had a friend flew to Vegas past weekend. She brought back a whole carry on of Jollibbe

It would be funny if country of origin for the corned beef was the USA. Not much reason to bring corned beef, it is EVERYWHERE here.

They dont make corndbeef that foul here

[Hank_ 9,174]

Not that foul here!!

I am not crazy about corned-beef but my Asawa is, but she is happy with the stuff here. Heck she ships SPAM (ham that couldn't pass the physical) to the Phils, and I believe I saw her stuff corned-beef in the box too.

Few more months and we be packing for a trip across the pond too. Only we will have UMAC ship two balikbayan boxes early.

We ship spam to the PI also. I have developed a taste for it.

Guess what Hank! We also shipped 2 LBC boxes for our Pasalubong.They have been there about 1 month, which means gone from here 3-4. Slowly but surely, we picked up this or that. My wife does coupons, so we got lots of shampoo etc. A little more chocolate and just like that...2 more suitcases full of pasalubong. That backfired on me.

Does the mrs do the coupons and survey groups

[Hank_ 9,174]

I can handle the low sodium SPAM, the regular is way too salty for my tastes. The Auntie we send the SPAM to has high blood pressure so the lower sodium won't hurt her either.

...pasalubong, that gets a laugh out of me. Chocolate is number one on the list always to go in the box, then of course shampoo and over the counter meds. This next trip will require an extra box as we will be sending stuff for ourselves as well. Personally I would love to travel with a minimal of luggage.

Yes, coupons were discovered, but only for certain things... go figure. I have never bothered with coupons.

I had to join these groups to pull off being your wife's spy.

Mine is into the surveys. makes as much as 700 bucks some months. I think the Pinay mafia has the market cornered

Pinay mafia... ... they are the most deadly of all!
