I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream.
If you move to Singapore and you like Haagen-Dazs, Ben and Jerry’s, Dryers or Tillamook you will be tested…
…when you see the price. How much do you really want it?
However, if you are feeling homesick, I strongly recommend buying some ice cream. It’s still significantly cheaper than a plane ticket.
Just be sure to savor every bite. (Did you notice the Dryers container is about 1/2 the size of what you see in the States)?
Tillamook is totally worth the cost. It’s actually FROM Oregon (my home state) and I don’t buy it often but it is absolutely cost effective for my resulting happiness.
I still scream for ice cream. Would you?
However, be careful when you return to the U.S. after living in Singapore. When I was there last December every time I went down the frozen food section I was tempted to fill my entire cart full of ice cream because it seemed so cheap! $3 for Ben and Jerry’s and $4 for Tillamook? What a deal! I need to buy it all! And while I managed to avoid filling my cart, I could not resist buying ice cream every time I went into a grocery store, even if I just bought some the day before.
Yummmy! Now I think I’ll have to go buy some cheap ice cream for today! : ) When we moved back from Singapore I remember going crazy buying cereal since it was so expensive there. No wonder I gained 10 pounds!
Yum
I hadn’t tried Tillamook before moving here and now it’s my favourite… I wonder if I can get it in Australia?
Oh my god. I will never complain when ice cream isn’t on sale for $3 again.
I feel bad “liking” this post because I don’t want you to think that I life that ice cream is so expensive. Really, I don’t like that at all. Rather, I like learning about life in other countries.

@Melissa Don’t worry! I would NEVER be mad at someone for “liking” one of my posts.
Which supermarket did you take these pictures from? I have been trying to find out where they sell Tillamook Ice Cream
At Tanglin Mall in Marketplace. If you have very far to travel don’t forget an insulated bag so it’s still cold when you get home!
