Snack connoisseurs where ya at? We’ve found a great place to buy USA snacks that’s not available in Singapore – here’s how to ship them to your doorstep!
If there’s one thing that people may actually miss about the office while working from home, it may be the mid-afternoon snacks. Heading over to the pantry for a break and to get some tidbits that may help give you enough of a sugar rush to power through till the end of the day.

And no, it’s not quite the same as munching on something at home. Especially when in the office you can count on seeing something that a colleague back from a holiday has brought back to share with everyone. Stuff you may never have seen before, which makes them look that much more exciting.
However, since nobody’s gonna be doing that for quite a while longer, perhaps the next best thing is to get some of these tasty treats delivered to your doorstep instead! As you know, we’re always on the lookout for overseas novelty like the best international subscription boxes and best American beauty brands you can’t get in Singapore, it’s about time we dive into the world of snacks – and that’s why we found Boxed.
What is Boxed?
Boxed is an American online wholesale retailers that focuses on bulk-buying of household groceries and essentials. If you’re familiar with Costco, Boxed is pretty much an online version of that and unlike most wholesale retailers, Boxed doesn’t require a membership. This means anyone can buy from Boxed.
While you can purchase other household goods, for someone living outside of the US, the true value of Boxed is its treasure trove of snacks that’s not available in Singapore.

Which Snacks Should I Try?

A shelf-stable cookie dough made without eggs so it can be eaten raw, this is a dream come true for any cookie dough-lover out there.
