I'm not a huge fan but I find myself shopping at Walmart for the same reason most people do. It's hard to argue with the convenience (yes, there's a McDonald's in our local store) and those "everyday low prices."
So here goes my...
TOP FIVE REASONS TO SHOP AT WALMART IN CANCUN
When I moved into our hostel, I decided to hang some posters to give the place some life. I scooted over to Walmart, the only place I knew might have some.
The selection wasn't great. Of 30 options, half were Disney cartoons & the like. Still, I managed to find a few choices I thought Jen & I could live with.
I chose the Black Eyed Peas...
Jen & I recently met a Kansan at Walmart who seemed to think that prices in Cancun are higher than those in his hometown. Really?
Even at Walmart, whose prices are nowhere near the cheapest in Cancun, you can get:
- a 2L bottle of local tequilla for 20 pesos
- a 1L bottle of fruit juice (grape, strawberry, mango, guayaba) for 8 pesos
- 250ml of Philadelphia Cream Cheese for 13 pesos
- a 250 gram bag of local brand nacho chips for 10 pesos
- a 500 gram bag of Tostidos for 25 pesos
- board games from 100 pesos
The magazines in the photo average 40 pesos (about $3). Flip flops? ~$2.
