Moving to the US from Ireland (Destination: Albuquerque, NM)
In the next couple of months I'm relocating to NM. Any ideas on what 'consumables' I should stock up on before travelling Stateside. What would you pick?

We talking shaving "consumables"? Poke around on some of the online retail shops and see what you won't be able to get. That's where I'd start. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

If there are cheap products which you like I would make sure to take those, as postage would make their price silly.

I think I can get my current fav La Toja in Santa Fe; I'm guessing a trip to TOBS would be good though...

Residing in Northern N.M my advice is bring everything cause you won't find it here.

Palmolive cream. Lots and lots of it. Marmite or Vegemite; whichever kind it is your kind uses.
Any good Irish Whiskey you might like. Around here (sticksville, VA)all I can get is Jameson and while it isn't bad, it isn't great. Thankfully the white lightening is cheap and plentiful in these parts.

New Mexico is beautiful.... brown and very dry compared to Ireland.

is just a click away.
You are also in good company.
Dry is important for a new comer and visitor to keep in mind.
I found that a quick hot shower in the AM and PM would keep
my nose from drying out if I shut the door an let some steam
collect. On hot days I finished with straight cold water.
Drink a lot of water, not too much alcohol and you will be fine.
After a while you will know what works for you.
It is "big" country.... I love it..
