This morning our walk to the vegetable store was about the most interesting thing to report. We always end with several bags of fruits and vegetables from a store that's several blocks away. In fact, I just ate a bit of fresh soursop from our last visit. We usually spend CA $5 or $6 on the mighty hauls. Fresh food is cheap here. In Mexico, both tomatoes and onions are super-cheap at this time of year. The big, white onions cost 3.90 pesos a kilo. Today's onion price works out to be US $0.19 / kilo (2.2 lbs). We can't afford NOT to eat a lot of them here! I do like onions, luckily.
I took a few pictures yesterday. A lot of our time seems to be spent grocery shopping during winters. We had spotted a Soriana supermarket up near the Golden Zone last week. Today, we decided to take a Green Bus to see this branch of the popular, Mexican hypermarket chain. We've found that this company's stores are either a hit or a miss. Today's seemed pretty good and we ended up buying a couple of bags of things including rolls from their bakery and a roasted chicken.
The plans were to grab an Uber to come back. Surge pricing means the 15-minute ride would've cost 40 pesos, or about US $1.95. That seemed excessive, so we enjoyed the views when coming back by bus too. We each paid the equivalent of 53 cents US. Even if we had a whole lot of money, we'd still live cheaply. It's our nature.
