Q: The 4 essentials of life: Coffee, Menthol Cigs, CHOCOLATE & Ice Cream?
I'm headed to Chengdu next August. I NEED to know if I will be able to get these things. And how much of my budget I should expect to pay for them. Please and thank you. 
Menthol sigs you can buy online (as i cant get in Nanjing) 3rmb for a 20 pack.
Chocolates is not expensive a slab coat about 13 RMB Ice cream depends what you like but lee than in the West. coffee yes it cost more her but i buy Nescafe 60 RMB a 200gr bottle all in the supermarket
Chengdu has this great store called Sabrina's Country Store. It's all imported food. You can get good coffee, chocolate, and they even have Ben and Jerry's. But you'll pay a lot for it. Starbucks is all over Chengdu (about the same price as in the States), too. If you just want ice cream once in a while, go to Peter's Tex Mex or another Western restaurant. They have shakes and sundaes. In most convenience stores they sell Dove chocolate and Snickers.

Thank you! I've read Pete's has western style ice cream... I wonder if I could request my apartment be right abovethe restaurant hahaha! Thanks for the info on Sabrina's.
getting these things on the website is the smartest choice. everything is cheaper than in the supermarkets. there are many cyber shopping sites, like Taobao, Yihaodian, ect. but you need to pay online by using e-banking.
