I just arrived in Queretaro this week. I immediately began planning on how to eat healthier once I settle in and find an apartment. No more processed, modified or fake foods.
Turkeys here in MI prior to Thanksgiving were $0.40/lb so a 14 lb. bird would be just under $7. The Regio toilet paper would be $0.03 less per roll than I pay at Sam's Club here. I buy the Brownberry 100% Whole Wheat bread and it's around $5/loaf. Wow, $81 for all of those groceries isn't bad.
Lol wow turkey price is way better there! Toliet paper roll is not bad price in Sams club there. Some products are more expensive in Mexico but we try to stick to standard food we need not to buy over priced food especially those junk food.
You mean the meat? We bought pork meat from mercados here is 130pesos/kg, not really cheaper. havent compared the ground beaf price yet, but we know chicken prices are even more in mercado. We do buy vegetables in mercado, it will be in the next episode.
My balonie has a first name, it's O S C A R! LOL Thanks for doing this one. We are to the point where we don't know what things cost in the USA anymore, but we know prices went up everywhere. We are really bad about trying to do any dollar conversions while we are actually shopping too. As long as the budget stays under $500/month, I'm happy. 🤣Good job, guys! Very informative! ~Gina
Yeah Oscar.lol. We are so used to think in pesos even we went back to us , I still covert dollars to pesos... $500 monthly budget is not bad, but we all know it always goes more... food in cdmx are so good, we eat out more than we were in Qro. Landy
Thanks for the supermarket food prices video. 😊 Noticed that you don’t use a list for grocery shopping, you go for what you like or the cheapest version. To use your video information, 1. it will be great if you could break down what is your family weekly/monthly budget? Or do you use a budget? 2. Monthly gasoline/insurance prices to get an idea of monthly expenses to live there. I see your channel as having reached FI, but what is your annual budget for living…4%, 10%? of your investments? How do you generate more income? What is your rate of savings, investing? I would love to see more comparative data in your videos/ channel as you guys are applying Geoarbitrage and I’m very interested in that. Why are you renting in CDMX instead of buying? Thank you!
Thank you Angela! Yeah Generally, meats are cheaper here except that chicken breast, but its more like farm raised chicken here , i think thats why it's a bit more expensive here. 😅

That's great! Go to mercado or local vegetable stores, you find fresher vegetables there.
Congratulations
Gracias por visitar México.
Gracias. Nos encanta aquí. ¿Vives en CDMX?

I love the fact that this couple eats a lot of fruits and veggies. It sets an example for a healthy life.
Thank you for your tips
My pleasure 😊
Check out the 1985 earthquake in Mexico CITY. I order food and stock up in Queretaro for home delivery.
We know the 1985 and 2018, that dosent stop us to live in a big and fun city 💗
Slightly expensive than Malaysia for some items 🤔
but rents are much.more higher.😅
Mexico City is bout same as United States in prices or higher. The quality is terrible as well.
Well. Mexico city is still cheaper than most of the us depends on where you live in us and mexico city and your life style.
Thats kinda expensive tho! I would rather to buy from mercados 😅 plus much healthier 😊

Holy crap on the price of turkey, considering that turkey is a local thing.😶
We didnt buy that bird... yeah its too much. 😅
Very helpful! The meat looks good quality. Prices are cheaper than in USA. By about $3-5/lb depends on if organic, non- GMO or not
