As I've also spent August 1 abroad, I then reflect on the Swiss qualities or highlights.
What are your typical Swiss favorites at Migros? ... Things that you miss when you're abroad.
For me it's:

I'm looking forward to your Swiss favorites!
Happy holidays to you all
During my 5 years in Vienna, I missed many things (but got to know and appreciate many new ones). During my vacation back home, I hoarded the most indispensable things and exported them to Austria:
- various Frey chocolate bars (Milka, which is widely available in Austria, is as horrible as it is cheap: at the time 00.55 euros per 100g bar, even cheaper during promotions. At least there were Lindt products, but extremely expensive when adjusted for purchasing power).
- Farmer-Stengel
- Grosi-Cake (the products over there had a terrible chemical taste)
- Cake batter (we don't have the same kind of pastry over there)
- Quorn products, especially the pepper steak and cold cuts
- Bon-Chef sauces in sachets, especially Curry, Hubertus and Green Pepper (alternatives in Austria are inedible as they contain milk powder and can only be mixed with water)
- Biscuits "Tradition", before Christmas "Grand-Mère", at that time not yet adulterated with palm oil (or at least not yet declared)

I'm in the comfortable position of living right on the border, so I can decide every time whether to shop in Switzerland (Migros) or in France (usually Carrefour).
What I regularly buy in Switzerland:
- Swiss cheese, e.g. Gruyere
- Maggi, Aromat and gravy
- Chocolate of all kinds
- Alpine herbal tea
- Grated nuts in large quantities for baking (the 400g M-Budget packs ... in Carrefourteurer and only in mini bags of 125g)
On the other hand, meat and eggs in particular are much cheaper in France, sometimes costing 50-70% less than M-Budget products.
When I come back from abroad, I immediately buy a good Ruchbrot, cheese and Migros iced tea (but that was a long time ago)
